Patient Testimonials

"We couldn’t be happier with the care and expertise of Sedona Speech/Christy! The progress both of our children have made in such a short time is truly remarkable. They genuinely look forward to their sessions, whether in person or virtual—both are equally engaging and effective. She’s incredibly accommodating with scheduling and her communication with me and my husband has been fantastic, helping us to better support our kids’ progress at home. Her office is warm and welcoming, and her approach is both creative and highly advanced. We trust her completely and have seen the incredible impact she’s had on our children’s development. I would recommend her to anyone—she’s an exceptional therapist and has made such a difference in our family’s lives!

Our son was delayed initially in speech and then struggled to communicate clearly as he entered pre-school, leaving him feeling defeated and embarrassed. He worked with Christy two days a week consistently for months and now communicates very clearly and correctly. He has transitioned into a very social, confident young boy who has gained so many friends! We are very pleased with our experience with Christy and would recommend her services to any and all needing support!-GE
