What Our Clients Are Saying
Testimonials are individual experiences. Results may vary.
"Jun,
You have been an instrumental part of my dad's ongoing recovery. Because of your help my dad has regained the ability to communicate with our family and friends. He is regaining confidence and able to express his wants and needs-something he could not do a few months ago.
My dad's neurologist had told us his recovery would slow down after 6 months. Through your work with my dad, I do not see that as being the case. your attention to subtle changes in my dad and dynamic approach to therapy have allowed him to make substantial progress so that he can now have conversations and even catch and correct himself.
Your Love of speech therapy shows in your dedication to your clients and your high level of professionalism. We are fortunate and grateful that you are able to help my dad!"

"June O'Hara is my speech therapist. She is hard, but worth it.
After my stroke at age 88 yrs. old, in 6-8-2021, I had a difficult time trying to read and spell words and count number correctly.
I gave up trying. I lost my hope. I never did that before! It was too hard!
I was depressed and felt worthless until I met June O'Hara. She got me back hope again reading and counting numbers. I am not afraid anymore. I have courage now.
When I start to read and it wrong, she says "Try again." and I get it correct. My brain is is tired and I don't give up!
June is patient.
June gave me tips in numbers and breaking up the word in different ways. It helps me.
June lifts my spirit high and makes me happy.
I am slowly getting better. June has taught me a lot. I feel I will need her for a long time.
June is a gift."
