Meet Sarah
Sarah Shipley M.S, CF-SLP
Hello! I'm Sarah. A cat mom, Arizona native, and CF Speech-Language Pathologist.
I am committed to supporting communication needs by providing child-led, neurodiversity-affirming therapy! I believe connection and regulation are the first steps to progress, and prioritize these areas while providing speech therapy services.
My additional experience with adults has created a passion for supporting cognition across the lifespan. My goal is to help individuals of any age build confidence in their communication and everyday lives.

Meet Jennifer
Jennifer Zeien, M.S., CCC-SLP
Hi! I'm Jennifer, a Speech-Language Pathologist, wife, stepmom, friend, and family member to many.
Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, cheering on the Phoenix Mercury, traveling to Wisconsin to visit loved ones, and watercolor painting and crafting.
I am passionate about providing high-quality, child-led, play-based therapy that meets each child where they are. I believe children learn and communicate best when they feel safe, engaged, and connected. My goal is to create meaningful therapy experiences that build on each child's individual strengths and interests while helping them develop the communication skills they need to participate more fully in everyday life.
I also value collaborating with families and empowering them with practical strategies they can use beyond the therapy room.

Meet Saria
Hi, my name is Saria! I am a current online graduate student completing my Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology. Outside of speech therapy, I love sightseeing, staying active, and exploring new places and experiences.
I love being a SLPA and having the opportunity to meet each child exactly where they are. I enjoy diving into their world through play-based sessions and building a genuine connection along the way. I prioritize understanding each child’s cues, needs, interests, and preferences because I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship creates the best environment for learning and supports children far beyond the therapy session.
My sessions are always child-led, play-based, and centered around making communication meaningful and fun. My favorite part of being a SLPA is watching a child realize, “I can do hard things!” and seeing their confidence grow as they become excited about reaching their goals.
