Introduction
Hi! I’m Alina Cuenca, a pediatric speech-language pathologist based in Guadalupe, CA. I work with children ages 1–11 and use a playful, engaging approach that helps kids feel comfortable and confident as they grow their communication skills. I especially love using music and movement in sessions whenever I can!
I specialize in early intervention and speech sound disorders, and I have conversational fluency in Spanish. My goal is to make therapy both effective and enjoyable, while also empowering parents and caregivers to support their child’s communication at home.
While my focus is on speech and language, I’m not well-positioned to serve children with swallowing or feeding needs.
When I’m not in therapy, I’m usually chasing after my own little ones or enjoying a walk with my family!
What words would you use to describe yourself?
Flexible
Empathetic
Persistent
As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I believe every child is unique. I am flexible and will adjust my approach based on your child’s needs in the moment, always with the goal of creating a warm, supportive, and affirming space.
I’ve been on both sides of the speech therapy journey: I received speech therapy myself as a child, and I’m also a parent of a child with a speech sound disorder. I know firsthand how emotional and rewarding this process can be.
I'm a patient and persistent therapist who understands that progress takes time. I’m here to cheer your child on and support your family every step of the way.
Who are you best positioned to serve?
I am best positioned to serve young children working on early language skills, as well as children with speech-sound disorders.
