Hi! I am Danielle Barash, a California state licensed and nationally certified speech-language pathologist. I have more than ten years of experience assessing and working with children with a variety of communication disorders and differences. I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist, which means that I value and embrace the brain variations that occur to provide each of us with our own set of unique strengths, needs, interests, and challenges. I firmly believe that genuine connection, trust, and motivation are fundamental requirements for successful therapy. I bring a positive, fun, and playful energy to my work to keep children engaged and motivated throughout our sessions. My approach to therapy is strengths-based, child-led, relationship-centered, and personalized. I love watching my clients develop more confidence and autonomy through our work together!

​

With many years of experience working in a multi-disciplinary early intervention program and school settings, I have had the pleasure of cross-training and collaborating with a variety of professionals. I welcome and encourage a team approach to therapy to ensure we are treating the whole child, prioritizing emotional regulation, and promoting generalization of skills.
