Speech-Language Therapy for Infants, Children and Adults

 

Speech Pathology in Richmond, VA

 

We are Speech-Language Pathologists dedicated to helping infants, children, and adults with feeding, swallowing, and speech difficulties through a combination of modalities. We specialize in evaluation and management of tongue tie, lip tie, and oral myofunctional disorders.

We address elimination of negative oral habits such as thumb sucking, nail biting, and mouthing of toys or fabrics. In infants we emphasize early detection of barriers to breast feeding as well as bottle feeding. We recognize that all patients are not the same and customize therapy to the individual needs of each person.

Richmond, VA

“My son’s progress was astounding and provided so much relief. I cannot recommend Hinde highly enough. Her demeanor is warm and friendly, we felt very safe with her in our home even in the midst of a pandemic, and her passion for her work is obvious.”

Midlothian, VA

“I could not believe how quickly this intervention worked for [my son].  It was truly mind blowing.  We could not be more grateful for the knowledge and expertise that Hinde shared with our family.”  

Henrico, VA

“Hinde has been such a blessing to our family. Over the phone she talked with me about my concerns with one of our twin boys, answered my many questions, and explained best practice for treating tongue ties.”

Richmond, VA

“When we brought our son home from the hospital, it took him a full hour to breastfeed, and often even after that he didn’t seem satisfied. Every third or fourth feeding he would fight latching, thrashing his head around and screaming, and when he did latch, the pain was so sharp for me that it was sometimes unbearable. Those were just the obvious signs that something was wrong.”

Midlothian, VA

“Hinde worked with my son when he was about 2 months old.  By the time I set foot in her office, my son had already been through quite a medical journey.  No one in our household was sleeping, because our baby had been in so much agony from reflux.   This seems simple, but it truly affected everything.   By two months old, he had already seen a GI Specialist, had a GI study and Modified Barium Swallow study, switched from breastfeeding to 5 different formula blends, tried every type of bottle possible, and only had moments of happiness.  He was truly in pain.”

Henrico, VA

“I was having pain with breast feeding and was dependent on nipple shields. Our son cried all the time. After both boys got released, they are nursing with no pain- thanks to further strategies from Hinde! We are no longer dependent on nipple shields! And our son who was so fussy and had the multiple ties is able to smile more easily with his cheeks released, and he coos and makes so many new sounds! Thank you, Hinde!”

Midlothian, VA

“The day we saw Hinde, she immediately observed both a lip and tongue tie.   She explained the process of swallowing for infants, and the significance in having these released.  That afternoon, she was able to refer us to a pediatric dentist and have both frenulums released.”

Richmond, VA

“Without [Hinde], we likely would have given up on breastfeeding and may have unknowingly set our son up for a childhood of speech challenges and lifelong breathing issues.”
