Testimonials

 I don’t even know where to begin on how life changing and wonderful our time with Mrs. Kasey has been thus far. When my son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 5, I was devastated and afraid. Afraid for what my son’s future would look like. My son started his time with Mrs. Kasey at 5 years old, now soon to be 10. Mrs. Kasey has not only helped my son, but also myself on how to navigate through our journey. She has put my worries to rest. My son has developed his speech skills tremendously and has come a long way. We truly wouldn’t have made it without her hard work and on going dedication to him. We live almost an hour away from therapy but it’s worth it. The incredible progress my son has made and how he has grown to love her I wouldn’t change it any other way. He loves his appointments with her. With lots of gratitude and love…..

F.A.Q.

What is the difference between speech and language?

Speech is how we say sounds and words. Speech includes articulation, voice, and fluency.
Language refers to the words we use and how we use them to share ideas and get what we want.  Language includes grammar, vocabulary use, following directions, and social communication with others.

What does neurodiversity affirming therapy mean?

It's the idea that individuals have differences in their abilities and how they interact with the world around them – differences which are not considered to be deficits that need to be “fixed”.

Do you provide therapy over holidays?

Yes, scheduling is available during school breaks and some holidays to prevent regression and continue progress. If you are traveling, sessions can be provided remotely via teletherapy.

Are family members allowed to participate in sessions?

Absolutely. You are in charge of the therapy plan, and we will always make sure your family is included.

Are you accepting new clients at this time?

We are enrolling new families and clients in our expanding network of experienced speech language pathologists. Evaluations and therapy services are available right away.

How does payment work?

All services are concierge and private-pay at the time of session, so there is no need to file paperwork or keep track of bills. Pricing varies based on desired services.

The cost of your child's speech and language services may be covered by the Gardiner Scholarship Program. Talking Trees Therapy (Kasey Mullins) is an approved Gardiner Scholarship Provider in Naples. Read more to determine if your child is eligible for coverage.

How long will my child need speech therapy?

Speech therapy will be different for every individual.  This is determined by how your child responds to speech therapy, the degree of impairment, how frequently you are able to attend therapy, and how much you are able to practice strategies at home.
