Our Mission
Tiny Sprouts Therapy is a pediatric speech therapy practice in Long Beach, CA, supporting neurodivergent children through affirming, play-based, and relationship-centered care. We believe all forms of communication—speech, AAC, gestures, echolalia—are valid and meaningful.
Meet Karla.
Hi, I’m Karla, the founder of Tiny Sprouts Therapy and a licensed speech-language pathologist based in Long Beach, California. I started Tiny Sprouts Therapy with a simple but powerful mission: to nurture every child’s ability to connect, express, and thrive through playful, meaningful communication.
As someone who proudly identifies as neurodivergent and lives with ADHD, I bring a unique perspective to the therapy room. I know that every child’s brain works in its own beautiful way, and my experiences help me build strong, genuine connections with kids who see the world a little differently.
​
I specialize in early language development, AAC, gestalt language processing, play-based therapy, and supporting multilingual and multicultural families. My work is rooted in joy, flexibility, and strong relationships.
