About Mai Speech Therapy
Great therapy starts with great relationships
At Mai Speech Therapy, we believe that great therapy starts with great relationships.
We are a team of multilingual, educated, licensed, and certified speech-language pathologists who work together to provide individualized, evidence-based care for children and families throughout South Florida.
Our therapists bring experience across a wide range of pediatric communication needs, including speech sound disorders, articulation and phonological disorders, language development, childhood apraxia of speech, fluency, social communication, and early intervention. Each child is different, which is why we take the time to understand their unique strengths, needs, personality, and goals.
Our approach is collaborative and family-centered. We work closely with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals when appropriate to help children build communication skills that carry over into everyday life not just the therapy session.
Founded in 2017, Mai Speech Therapy has grown from a one woman show into a team dedicated to making high-quality speech therapy accessible, personal, and effective. We offer in-home, at school and teletherapy services throughout South Florida, allowing families to receive care in environments that are comfortable and meaningful to their child.
Most importantly, we want families to feel that they have a team behind them. Our therapists work together, share knowledge, and support one another so that every family receives thoughtful, consistent care.
We are proud to serve the South Florida community and look forward to being part of your child's communication journey.

My Therapeutic Philosophy
Every child is unique. My approach honors that.
Play-Based Therapy
Children learn best through play. Every session is designed around meaningful, motivating activities that make therapy feel like fun — not work.
Family-Centered Care
Parents are their child's most important teachers. I empower families with strategies, coaching, and confidence to support communication growth every day — not just during sessions.
Relationship-First Approach
Before any goals or drills, I build trust with every child. A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful, lasting progress.
