Natalie and her son

Who we are.

So happy you're here! I'm Natalie Waldman, Owner and Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) of Well Spoken Speech & Language Therapy - a boutique private practice specializing in helping late talkers and children who are hard to understand.  I am a life long learner who believes therapy should be based on research, genuine connection, and fun. 

As a parent, I know how hectic life can be. For your convenience and your child's comfort, therapy is offered via teletherapy for California residents or in-person at your child's home or school in Costa Mesa and surrounding areas.
