ABOUT HEAD AND HEART SPEECH
OUR MISSION
At Head and Heart Speech, we are dedicated to helping individuals of all ages maximize their communication potential. Our team is committed to providing personalized, effective and efficient therapy to support our clients' speech and language needs.
FUNCTIONAL, HOME-BASED THERAPY TO MEET GOALS FASTER
We provide a comprehensive assessment to collect baseline data and formulate a plan of care. One of our core tenets is including family, caregivers, teachers and other providers as much as is appropriate in order to support reaching goals as fast as possible.

OUR EXPERIENCE
The founder, Rachael Defelice, M.S., CCC-SLP, has nearly ten years experience as a speech-language pathologist with an additional background in elementary education.
AREAS OF SPECIALTY
We serve clients across the lifespan, but many of our therapists specialize in the pediatric population in the areas of language delay, early intervention, fluency/stuttering, articulation, and apraxia.
GET IN TOUCH
As a parent, I have experienced first hand how challenging it can be when you are looking for providers to help support your child. At Head & Heart we provide a free phone consultation to decide on the best plan for you and your family, including referrals if we are not the right fit. Please reach out to schedule your free 30 minute phone consultation or to inquire more about our team and services.
