The Talking Tree, Co. follows a multidisciplinary approach whereby each child will have access to customized interventions as well as collaborations with allied professionals throughout their journey with The Talking Tree.

Our Roots

Pearly Yazbek M.S., CCC-SLP

Grace Victoria M.S., CCC-SLP

Pearly Yazbek, M.S., CCC-SLP and Grace Victoria, M.S., CCC-SLP are excited to bring an innovative and multidisciplinary model to the world of therapy. As we believe that therapy should focus on treating the person ahead of the diagnosis (i.e., framing the diagnosis as something the person has rather than something they are).

Therapy should be functional, practical, and tailored to the person’s growth to facilitate carry over for our families. 

Planted Seeds for Therapy

Take advantage of our free consultation. We will help you determine whether your child needs a speech and/or language intervention.

Are you concerned about your child but are not sure they need speech intervention?

We will identify your child’s speech, language, & pragmatic goals and provide individualized treatment plans targeting their needs in a fun and nurturing environment.

Does your child need a screening?

We will observe your child in their natural environment, either at home or at school, and assess your child’s hearing, articulation, fluency, voice, language, and pragmatics.

How can we help your child? 

Do you need a comprehensive Speech-Language Evaluation?

We provide a standardized speech and language evaluation that will identify your child’s strengths and/or weaknesses as well as their skill level and age-based competency.

At the Talking Tree, Co. we address your child’s needs holistically. We collaborate with other disciplines (e.g., applied behavior, equine therapy, creative movement, music, occupational & physical therapy) just to name a few. 

What makes us out-of-the-box?

Our one-on-one communication enables us to address your specific questions and concerns in order to implement an intervention plan and facilitate carryover for our families outside of therapy.

Fruit of Our Labor

  • I cannot stress enough how she has impacted not only my little man, but also my family. My son has not only improved, but has learned new concepts. She makes it fun for him and encourages him when he gets discouraged, reassuring him he can do it. Additionally, she accommodates our busy family schedule to make time for his sessions and provide guidance regarding my questions. Doing virtual sessions, I have from our sessions and have applied them at home.
