My daughter's language has grown exponentially since we began seeing Katie in August 2025. Her office is centrally located & so welcoming. My daughter loves running into the door and playing in the waiting area. She even tries to enter the main door before our appointment time because she is just so excited for her session to begin! Katie always decorates for holidays & her office is such a peaceful & cheerful environment. There's also plenty of parking so it's super easy to get in and out of your appointment. My daughter had a significant speech delay, but since starting weekly therapy at Discovery Speech, we have stopped counting how many words she has at her disposal, we are fully into phrases & sentences! The mental load of having a child who has a speech delay can be very heavy and the overall feeling is that of constant worry. The part that I have loved the most about our time with Katie is that she listens intentionally to your concerns. She is a consumate professional who has so many professional connections in the area & is happy to get you introduced to them. That has been SO helpful for us as we are military family who is not originally from Sonoma County. She realized that my daughter was a strong candidate for physical therapy even after the physical therapist evaluation did not approve her. We got re-tested and my daughter was in fact, a candidate for physical therapy. I was so happy to have her as an advocate for my daughter. I didn't realize they could re-test/ you could have a second opinion. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Discovery Speech! I will reccomend Katie & her team to every military family who gets stationed in this area! Thank you, Katie. We have loved every single Wednesday morning with you, & we will miss you & your team tremendously!

My son came to Speech Goals for several months and attended a weekly group session with Miss Kathy…read more Kathy is great and creates a welcoming and fun environment for the kids. Each week, she would try and incorporate different activities that would appeal to the kids but still help them come out of their shells and develop their language skills. A lot of exercises would be around finding things around the room and helping the child name it out loud to build their confidence in using their words. There were also other set routines built into the class, such as the hello/goodbye song, playtime, snack time, and then music time. I've interacted with different members of the staff and other speech therapists through Speech Goals since my time here and I've been very impressed with the professionalism and genuine level of care everyone has for the kids that come through the program. The only thing I would wish to change is the level of parental involvement that is required. We came for two hours each week, which was really very difficult to do with a full-time work schedule. In fact, we qualified to come twice a week, four hours total, but I knew there was no way I could commit to doing that. It would be nice if there was an option where the classes were either shorter, or the parent could drop off the child and pick them up when class was over like some other speech programs do. Especially when a good amount of the two-hour block is spent during playtime, where the kids get free play in the facility's indoor play area. There is definitely a benefit in helping kids get their energy out and build their gross motor skills but I'd rather focus the time there on the specific exercises targeted toward his speech and take him to the park after work hours for playtime. But overall, Speech Goals can be a very valuable place to go to to help address early development needs for your toddler. Thank you for the partnership these last few months!

It's important to remember that discussions surrounding broken families can often be very tense. Indeed when I first met with Ms. Santos, I wasn't sure we would work that well together (she didn't even recognize me as the Yelp Duke of Little Caesers...). However, the more we directed our focus on children's best interests, the more effective I have found her to be. Ms. Santos has been doing this for a long time and is well-respected in the family court system of Sonoma and Marin. I now fully consider her to be a reliable "compass" for navigating optimal parenting paths. She is not shy about letting me know if she does not agree with something, and I've been grateful for her feedback. Ms. Santos is also a solid listener and asks insightful questions. In my situation, she's shown exceptional patience, especially when trying to absorb all matters in a complicated situation. If your children are facing some tough times, I would definitely recommend you consider using her. My only complaint is that her website lacks a patient intake form. She will be the first to playfully admit she's not tech-savvy but this is a "must have" for a therapist these days (especially with the C19 situation). I'll keep pestering her about it. Lastly, I know that people searching for family therapists are probably going through some tough times. For what it's worth, things can get better. Good luck.
