Welcome to Choose Kind Therapy

Strengths & evidence-based, individualized, identity & neurodiversity affirmative, always.

Choose Kind Therapy is a private practice that uses a strengths-based approach to speech, language, and feeding therapy for clients across the life span. We value your lived experience and fully understand that therapy should not be prescriptive. At Choose Kind Therapy, you can expect individualized, evidence-based, identity, neurodiversity affirming speech and language services provided in the comfort of your own home, natural environment, or via teletherapy.

Choose Kind Therapy recognizes the accessibility barrier to basic, essential, and informed care faced by folks in the trans and gender non-conforming community. Choose Kind Therapy makes it a priority to provide low-cost care to the trans and gender non-conforming community to help break down the barriers and promote accessibility for essential care.

  • “I’m seeing an awesome improvement in my son. He is repeating everything every word and when he learns a new word he says "yayyy" even he is so happy learning. He is getting more and more confident each day. I’m so blessed to have Rachel. Rachel has been an amazing guidance. You can’t imagine how happy I feel when I hear words coming from his mouth. Yesterday he was done with his dinner and he said “all done bye bye." I was so happy. My son wasn’t communicating with words he hardly knew 50 words or less but since we joined these therapy sessions, I’m seeing a tremendous change now he knows 150 -200 or more words.”
