tuLIPS Speech Therapy

Our Story

For over a decade, tuLIPS Speech Therapy has been providing speech therapy to both children and adults. Interestingly enough, people don’t realize speech therapy is for people of all ages including kids, adolescents, and Adults. Adults can benefit from speech therapy through stuttering reduction, improved pronunciation, voice, accent modification, pragmatics and anything specific to communication. Strong speech skills = high self confidence.


We are regularly contacted by professionals looking for ways to improve their ability to communicate. Speech challenges can get in the way of career advancement, interviewing, public speaking and presentations. At tuLIPS we use the latest research and science based techniques to help individuals with accent modification, stuttering, speech, and voice. We coach and provide support generalizing learned strategies prior to talks, presentations to 2-3 hundred people and/or meetings and gatherings.


We also recognize that professionals have busy schedules and we can work with the individual to provide 30 or 45 minute sessions.

Here's what people are saying about tuLIPS.
I have a 4 year old son that was struggling in preschool. It was difficult for the other children to understand him. This made it difficult to make friends and would often play by himself (heartbreaking for a mom to see). We have been seeing Ms. Lara for a few months now. She is absolutely amazing and has helped by son tremendously. He is talking clearly and all the kids at school and teacher can understand him. I am happy to see that his work at TuLips is showing at school and improving his language and social skills. I would recommend tuLips to anyone and everyone in need of speech therapy. Their staff is amazing, appointments always run on time and the therapists include the caretakers in the work. Feels like being apart of the best team for your kid.

We recently started with Tulips Speech and we are truly impressed. Both our 3 year old and 6 year old boys absolutely love speech therapy. The therapists have found a way to make online speech super fun, engaging, and productive. Highly recommend!!

A wonderful friendly place. Great at what they do and make me feel comfortable. Thank you tuLIPS!
Blake L.
My youngest needed speech therapy according to her dentist because she was pushing her teeth against her tongue and pronounced some sounds and words incorrectly. I put it off for 4 years (I know so bad) as I didn't know how to get speech therapy or where to start. Tulips made it so easy and my insurance was reimbursing me, which I did not expect. Paying for speech therapy was one reason I put it off. This place is excellent and has been easy and painless. Yay! The dentist won't yell at me next month. I finally did it because Tulips made it easy and they are a great team.

As one of Tulips' adult clients who stutters, I can confidently say that working with Maggie and the team has been an incredible experience. Maggie and the tulips team take a highly customized and compassionate approach to speech therapy and are experts in not only the mechanical aspects of speaking but the psychological and social elements as well. I had tried other speech therapists previously but none of them have been as effective as Maggie. I highly recommend them for other adults and working professionals who are looking to improve their fluency.
