Meet Our Founders
The Monterey Bay Therapy Services Story
Founders Molly Hill and Katie Hoops had worked in a variety of different settings as SLPs. Acute rehabilitation, outpatient therapy clinics, public schools, and more. But they found it difficult to practice the way they wanted.
What’s more, they noticed a gap in accessibility for services. Rural populations found it difficult to find the support they needed. Family-friendly therapy was difficult to find outside of schools or hospitals. And there were few providers who offered gender affirming voice therapy.
So, in 2018, Monterey Bay Therapy Services was born.
As time went on, the team realized how many children and adults were sitting on wait lists. This is especially critical in the early years, where speech therapy is its most critical.
Knowing how time-sensitive these services are, they began adding clinicians to try and meet the needs of the community. That includes diverse therapists from diverse backgrounds to treat diverse concerns.
Today, Monterey Bay Therapy Services has a growing team of both speech therapists and occupational therapists, to meet the ever-evolving needs of the Monterey Bay area.
Clinical Approach
The Monterey Bay Therapy Services team is a growing group of speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists. Each member has a diverse background, and provides support for a range of different diagnoses and concerns. However, they all share the belief that therapy should support the whole person, not just a diagnosis or test score.
That means:
Honoring each individual’s communication style
Building on strengths instead of “fixing” deficits
Working with families, schools, and other healthcare providers
Making therapy functional for everyday life
Meeting each person where they are
Building self-esteem and self-confidence
