Your Certified Speech Language Pathologist
Jessica Aleman
MSEd, CCC-SLP
I'm Jessica, a Hoboken speech-language pathologist. As a child, I lived with untreated mouth breathing, a tongue tie, and a high, narrow palate, so I know how much foundational care matters. My mission is to provide holistic, compassionate therapy that gets to the root cause of speech, feeding, and oral development issues, and to partner with families on a clear, careful path to helping their children thrive.
I'm Jessica, a Hoboken speech-language pathologist dedicated to helping children and families thrive. My work is personal: as a child, I experienced untreated mouth breathing, a tongue thrust, a high, narrow palate, and a tongue tie, and later needed a palate expander, tongue tie release, and septoplasty. Those early struggles shape my mission today, to provide holistic, compassionate therapy that gets to the root cause of speech, feeding, and oral development issues, and to partner with families on a clear, careful path toward helping their children thrive.
