Speech therapy that meets your child where they are
At Desert Speech Therapy, we love helping kids find their voice. When a child can clearly share what they want, need, and feel, it changes everything, and we feel lucky to be part of that journey with your family.
We offer private, one on one pediatric speech therapy in the places kids feel most comfortable, at home, in daycare, preschool, or private school. We serve families across Tucson, Oro Valley, and Marana, Arizona. Our sessions are warm, playful, and family centered, because children make the best progress when they feel safe, supported, and truly understood.
Whether your child is just starting to use words, is hard to understand, or is struggling to express their thoughts, we will meet them right where they are. Then we will help them build the skills and confidence to communicate with ease.

Meet Your Speech Therapist
Christine Mulvey, MS, CCC-SLP
Hi, I’m Christine, the speech language pathologist behind Desert Speech Therapy. I am ASHA-certified and have been working with children for 13 years, supporting families from preschool through middle school.
I became a speech therapist because I truly love helping kids find their voice. It is incredible to watch a child go from feeling frustrated or unsure, to communicating clearly and confidently. That confidence carries into everything, school, friendships, and daily life, and it is one of my favorite parts of this work.
My approach is warm, playful, and child led, while still rooted in evidence based therapy. I focus on building a strong relationship with your child, meeting them where they are, and making sessions feel fun and motivating. I also love partnering with parents, so you feel supported and confident with simple strategies you can use at home between sessions.
When I am not working, you can usually find me reading, knitting, or spending time with my dog. If you are wondering whether speech therapy might help your child, I would love to connect.

What Parents are Saying
“Christine worked with our daughter for two years and made an incredible difference in her speech, especially with her s and v sounds. I was truly blown away by how clear my daughter sounded after working with Christine. Her confidence grew along with her skills. Christine was always so patient and gentle, which meant so much since our daughter is incredibly shy. She created a safe and encouraging environment where our daughter felt comfortable practicing and making mistakes. She also took the time to give me strategies and activities to work on at home, which really supported her progress. We are incredibly grateful for Christine’s dedication, kindness, and expertise.”
