Speech Therapy
Our speech therapists support children and individuals working on communication, whether that means building language skills, improving articulation, or strengthening the social use of language. Some children are just finding their first words, while others are learning to organize their thoughts, follow conversations, or make themselves understood with more confidence. Wherever a person is starting from, we meet them there.
Goals are set collaboratively with each family and tracked closely over time, so progress is visible and the plan can flex as new strengths emerge. Sessions are warm and encouraging, and our therapists work in close step with the rest of our clinical staff in Sherman Oaks so speech goals connect naturally with everything else a child is working on.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on the everyday skills that support independence and comfort, including fine motor development, coordination, and sensory processing. These are the abilities behind holding a pencil, managing buttons and zippers, sitting comfortably at a table, or staying regulated in a busy environment, and they shape how a child moves through their day.
Every session is designed around the child's developmental stage and daily needs rather than a fixed checklist. Our occupational therapists build on what a child already does well, introduce new challenges gently, and often weave movement and sensory tools directly into the work so that growth feels like play. Progress is shared with families so the same supportive strategies can carry over at home and at school.
Art Therapy
Art therapy offers a creative, expressive outlet for processing feelings and experiences that can be difficult to put into words. Through drawing, painting, and other hands on materials, children and individuals can explore what they are carrying at a pace that feels safe, often arriving at insight and relief that talking alone might not reach.
This approach is especially helpful for children and individuals who benefit from a more visual or hands on way of working, including those who feel put on the spot by direct conversation. Our art therapists in Sherman Oaks hold the process with warmth and without judgment, following the child's lead and helping caregivers understand what the work is revealing so the whole family can support it.
Questions Families Ask
We work with children, teens, and individuals across a range of ages and developmental stages. Some are building early language and articulation, some are strengthening fine motor and sensory processing skills, and others benefit most from a creative, expressive outlet. During your first conversation we listen closely to your goals and help you understand which service, or combination of services, is likely to be the most supportive fit.
Yes, and that coordination is one of the things families value most about our Sherman Oaks center. Speech, occupational, and art therapy can run alongside individual, family, or child therapy so that a child's whole picture is understood by one connected team rather than scattered across separate offices.
Goals are set collaboratively with each family and revisited regularly. Rather than following a rigid script, your therapist tailors the plan to your child's developmental stage, daily needs, and progress, adjusting as strengths grow. You are kept informed along the way so home and therapy reinforce one another.
We accept insurance, cash pay, and CareCredit, and we are in the process of becoming vendored with the regional center. Session fees vary by service and provider, and our insurance and fees page explains how we verify your benefits before your first visit.
Our practice is in Sherman Oaks, California, and we welcome families from across the San Fernando Valley and West Los Angeles, including Studio City, Encino, Glendale, Beverly Hills, and Calabasas.
