    Melissa is a great speech therapist. She has the patience and knowledge of how to approach my child. My little one has improved greatly and the input we get is of great help. The individual attention to his needs is amazing. I love the fact that she's very dedicated and flexible. I would highly recommend her to any parent who needs that extra help.

    Ms. Peters has been working with my teenager, C, for some months now. He went from being an awkward teenager unable to pronounce his /s/, /ch/, or /z/ to saying these clearly and with confidence in a matter of weeks. Her techniques are truly effective.

    She is incredibly encouraging and supportive concerning both academic issues and emotional ones. She cares about her patients in a holistic way. She yields great results and has an amazing impact in the life of those she is helping. C and I are very grateful for her help and strongly recommend her to any parent out there.

In addition Mel has helped with her feeding therapy. I highly recommend her services you will not be disappointed.

    Cannot say better things about Ms. Peters. After just a few sessions, my lisp was gone and my confidence was back! Her techniques are exemplary and she gets down to business immediately using time effectively. Hands down one of the best SLPs in Los Angeles. Thank you Ms. Peters!

    We saw huge gains with our son in social pragmatics and his understanding of language and reading comprehension. Mel is an incredibly caring, patient, and intelligent professional who will give her all to her clients. Her creativity in problem solving really yields results. Our son has worked with many different speech therapists and Mel has been, by far, the most effective.
