Alexia D. Mazzone, M.S., CCC-SLP
Founder, Owner, and Director

Alexia Mazzone is passionate about supporting children as they develop the communication skills they need to reach their full potential. She takes pride in building meaningful connections with children and partnering closely with families throughout the therapy process. Alexia finds it especially rewarding to witness the positive impact that improved communication can have on a child’s confidence and overall family dynamic.

Alexia earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of the Pacific. She holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is licensed by the California Department of Consumer Affairs Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensers Board.

With more than 20 years of experience supporting children with a wide range of communication, feeding, speech, language, and literacy needs, Alexia values the individualized and intensive nature of private practice. In 2008, she founded TALK fueled by her passion for providing meaningful, individualized therapy that supports each child’s unique communication needs. She believes every child has the potential to grow, and she sets high expectations while providing the support and encouragement needed to help each child succeed.

Alexia is committed to staying current with the latest research-based treatment approaches. She has advanced training in oral placement and motor planning techniques, including TalkTools and PROMPT©. Alexia is also trained in the Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to Feeding, the Lidcombe Program for stuttering, the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading and spelling, and she is proficient in Sentence Writing Strategy.

Outside of her professional work, Alexia is a proud mom of four. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, whether they are relaxing at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or making memories together on weekend adventures.
