About Us
Your SmallTalk team is dedicated to the success of your child.
Why We’re Here
At SmallTalk, our mission is to help kids thrive through playful, meaningful therapy. We specialize in play-based, child-led speech and occupational therapy that meets each child where they are—and takes them where they’re meant to go.
We believe in the power of fun, the importance of connection, and the magic that happens when families, therapists, and communities work together. For over 20 years, we’ve been San Diego’s go-to pediatric therapy clinic, offering compassionate, evidence-based care that’s as personalized as it is powerful.
Whether it’s a first word, a successful transition, or a big breakthrough, we’re here to support every step with expertise, empathy, and a whole lot of heart.
Our Mission
We turn play into progress—empowering children and families through personalized, child-led therapy rooted in joy, trust, and evidence.
Our Vision
A world where every child can communicate, connect, and thrive.
Our Core Values
Playful & Purposeful
Therapy should be fun—and effective. We use play as our foundation because it motivates kids and supports real, lasting growth.
Family First
Parents and caregivers are key partners in therapy. We welcome you into sessions, give you tools to use at home, and work together to create meaningful progress.
Collaborative Care
We team up with doctors, teachers, and caregivers to support your child’s whole environment—not just what happens in the therapy room.
Empathy in Action
Every family is different, and every journey is unique. We meet you with understanding, without judgment, and always with hope.
Excellence & Expertise
Our therapists are highly trained, always learning, and committed to using the most effective, evidence-backed approaches.
Growth for All
We’re here to help kids grow—and we invest just as deeply in the growth of our team, our families, and our community.
