Allie Glazer née Matuszewski, M.S., CCC-SLP/L

Allie is an Early Intervention specialist, who has extensive experience (10+ years!) with the birth-5 population. Her passion is working with tiny humans and their community, because it takes a village to best support a family.

She provides individual speech, language, and feeding therapy, group infant and toddler enrichment classes, as well as parent/caregiver coaching, consultation and resource exploration.

Sessions are tailored to your precise concerns and goals, as parents and caregivers know their child best.

Allie is a life-long learner who strives to provide fun and functional services! She is a Speech-Language Pathologist who has worked across the lifespan in school, medical, and home health settings.

Originally from the Chicagoland area, Allie has enjoyed exploring the Bay Area since 2016. When not providing remote teletherapy, she can be found hiking, making a mess in her kitchen, and trying to convince her cats to show up for work.

Catherine Croft, M.A., CCC-SLP/L

Catherine is an English-Spanish bilingual speech-language pathologist who specializes in working with the birth to 5 population and children in grades K-4. The majority of her work has been in school and private practice settings. Her passion is working with families to help them learn how to best support their children's speech and language skills both during and beyond therapy sessions.

She provides individual speech and language therapy and parent/caregiver coaching. Areas of evaluation and treatment include expressive language, receptive language, pragmatic language, articulation and phonology, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC).

During the therapy sessions, she targets the concerns and goals that families have for their children in a fun and functional way. She uses children's interests to engage them in practical speech and language activities that will help them achieve their goals.

Catherine is originally from Michigan, but she has completed all of her work as a speech-language pathologist in the Los Angeles area and the Bay Area. When not working with her wonderful clients, she enjoys long-distance running, camping, and spending time with friends and family.
