Reviews

  • "Both my son and daughter received speech therapy services with Jaime from February 2018 to November of 2020. Honestly words can't convey how grateful we are to have had her working with our children. Not only is she kind, empathetic and understanding but she's also helped us advocate for our kids when needed, especially with our son. She is the most professional speech therapist we have ever worked with and it was truly a blessing to work with her. Jaime truly goes above and beyond for her "little friends" and their families and I recommend her to everyone and anyone in the Hampton Roads area."- Caitlin S.

    "Mrs. Jaime has been seeing my 2 boys for the better part of the past 4 years. She is absolutely amazing with both of them and took a nonverbal 6 year to the point that he can now answer any yes or no question, can tell me exactly what it is he wants or needs, can say please and thank you, will say hello and goodbye and he can follow almost all directions that are given to him. She took the most stubborn 2 year old, I have ever met from also being nonverbal, to being able to imitate anything you say to him, answer certain questions, recognizing is alphabet, numbers and colors, will tell you more and what he can't or won't tell you he will show you. I highly recommend Jaime to anyone who has a kiddo that is need of speech services. I have never met someone with so much love, understanding, patience and compassion for kiddos and anyone would be lucky to have her as their therapist."- Samantha H.

    "Jaime worked with our son on articulation for a year. She was incredibly kind, motivating and diligent. He loved seeing her and was always happy to come to therapy, so much so that he still remembers her cues and talks about her.  She’s knowledgeable and very committed to her clients and families. We’re grateful for her! “- Shannon B.

She meets our son where he is and motivates him to keep working. She is firm but understanding, displaying kindness as she guides our son toward completing his tasks.  Our son has had steady progress even with all the obstacles from a pandemic. I highly recommend Jaime without reservation to other parents." -Rebecca M.
