Our Practice 

​

 

Our owner, Mayya founded Bright Side Speech Therapy after a life long dream of owning her own practice in order to service her local community the way she believed clients should be serviced. One of our core beliefs is that when a client comes to Bright Side, we focus on their strengths and how we can use those to improve their quality of life. In a world where speech therapy services are limited, we strive to provide the most services that we can so our clients actually reach their goals.
