tuLIPS Speech Therapy, LLC

I’ll start by saying that I really give credence to what other parents think of providers and activities for their children which is why I feel compelled to share my experience at tuLIPS, specifically with Hession Hogan. I was at a loss when I realized that my 8-​year old had a lisp and pronounced the letter «s» as more of an «sh» and had a mouth full of metal with a new Hyrax expander and front braces brackets. I was completely assured with only one meeting with Hession that this too can be remedied and that the time to address it is NOW. My daughter enjoyed her visits with Hession immensely and said it didn’t feel like therapy at all. The take-​home worksheets were helpful and easy to incorporate in every day life. The documentation tuLIPS provided was essential in helping her educators understand the diagnosis and aid in her correct pronunciation at school. Now that the orthodontia is gone my daughter is excited to continue seeing Hession who makes it fun to learn and speak clearly. I recommend this group of professionals to anyone who wants compassionate speech therapy!

Hession helped our 5 year old son address some tongue position problems that affected his ability to pronounce S’s and other sounds. She brought a very thoughtful and efficient approach. Hession made him feel very comfortable and encouraged him in a way that empowered and inspired him to self-​correct which lead to much faster results than we expected. Her office is very peaceful and we particularly appreciated her enthusiasm and joy with our child in a quiet setting. He never saw this as «therapy». We would strongly recommend Hession for any family looking for help with any speech issues.

I found out at 24 that I had been swallowing the wrong way my whole life and consequently had derailed my entire first round of orthodontics and would have to suffer through getting braces again. The only way to ensure that this round would even be worth it was to do speech therapy for something I had never heard of but apparently had called a «tongue thrust.»
Hession was incredible throughout this whole process. She helped me to really understand the issue and gave me fun and effective exercises to do to fix it. I am about to finish up a whole course of braces in about ten months when my orthodontist had assured me it would take at least 18 to 24 months. My orthodontist was shocked that my bite was correcting so quickly and said that this never could have happened if it wasn’t for Hession’s amazing work!
I can’t recommend Hession highly enough! She is so supportive, caring, and competent and sees the clients that she works with and their families as people rather than just patients. She made an experience that had the potential to be very difficult much more manageable and fun even and was instrumental in fixing this issue that would have caused me issues for the rest of my life! I am so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to individuals of all ages struggling with any kind of speech therapy issue!
