One a few places that takes insurance and has availability. Sessions are a little too short but that is dictated by insurance payment. Very nice, friendly and understanding. Highly recommended.
I absolutely love this place. Everyone is so friendly and so amazing with my daughter ❤️
Great practice with excellent therapists for adults and children alike.
My son has been seeing the therapists at Monterey Bay Speech Therapy for over two years and we’ve seen fantastic progress. More importantly, the therapists really care about their patients, and the long term relationships formed are what I was looking for as a parent. Always recommend to my friends.
Excellent services. The peninsula is blessed to have this amazing group of providers.
Molly did an amazing job! She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She definitely knows her stuff and makes it easy to understand the exercises and techniques. Highly recommend her for feminizing voice therapy 🙂
Molly is amazing! She’s always so happy that it’s contagious. My daughter is quite comfortable with her and later repeats everything she learned with her. Her vocabulary has expanded immensely. Molly also accommodates her schedule to fit our needs. Sometimes I have to cancel or reschedule right before our session due to me being chronically ill. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s just the best.
Amazing therapist! My son got help from this company and the therapist is very proficient on what she is doing. I highly recommend this therapy center!
Amazing services offered by a truly professional staff! I would absolutely recommend Monterey Bay Speech Therapy to anyone struggling with speech issues

Our Care Philosophy

We believe therapy should met you where you are, and support you there.

Our approach is respectful, collaborative, and rooted in dignity and autonomy.

Neurodiversity-affirming 

We celebrate different ways of communicating, sensing, learning, and being. 

Inclusive & Identity-Safe Care 

We respect every person’s language, culture, pronouns, body, communication style, and lived experience. 

Trauma-informed 

We prioritize emotional safety, consent, and nervous system regulation in every session. 

Culturally respectful 

We honor language, identity, community, and lived experiences. 

Strength-based approach 

We build skills by expanding strengths, not by trying to “fix” who someone is.
