Meet Your Speech Therapist

Hi, I'm Mitchell Irwin, and I'm passionate about helping NYC's youngest communicators find their voice.

My Experience

I've been a licensed speech language pathologist for over 13 years, specializing in early intervention for children ages birth to three. In that time, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of children develop the speech and language skills they need to connect with their families and explore their world.

My Credentials

• Master of Science in Communication Disorders

• Licensed Speech Language Pathologist (New York State)

• ASHA Certified (CCC SLP)

• NYC Early Intervention Approved Provider

Why I Love Early Intervention

There's something incredibly rewarding about working with toddlers during this critical window of development. Every new word, every attempt at communication, every moment a child realizes they can make themselves understood: these are the breakthroughs that remind me why I do this work. Early intervention isn't just about fixing a problem; it's about giving children the foundation they need to thrive.

I also believe strongly in empowering parents. You are your child's first and most important teacher, and my goal is to give you the tools and confidence to support your child's communication every single day, not just during our sessions.

Why Virtual Therapy Works

I know many parents are hesitant about virtual therapy at first. I get it! But I'm here to show you just how effective teletherapy can be for young children. Over the past several years, I've refined my approach to make virtual sessions as engaging and impactful as possible.

Here's my secret: I have parents connect to their TV using screen mirroring. This creates a much more immersive experience compared to a small phone or tablet screen. While computers and tablets certainly work well, I've found that TV sessions provide a higher level of engagement and help children stay focused and excited throughout our time together. The larger screen makes all the difference in capturing your toddler's attention and building that important connection.

My Approach

My therapy sessions are play based, engaging, and tailored to your child's unique needs and interests. Through virtual sessions, I bring speech therapy directly into your home, making it convenient for busy families while creating a comfortable environment where your child can learn and grow.

Whether your toddler is a late talker, struggling with speech sounds, or needs support with language development, I'm here to help you both succeed.

Special Launch Offer

Because this website is new and I'm building my virtual practice, I'm offering an exclusive opportunity for new clients: your first two therapy sessions are completely free (15 minutes each). This gives you a chance to see how effective virtual therapy can be for your child with no risk or commitment.

If you prefer longer 30 minute sessions, those are available at my regular rate after your free sessions.
