Our Story

Care that comes to your family.

Speak Live Play was founded in 2015 by Melissa Peters Yang, M.S., CCC-SLP & CLC. After moving to Los Angeles, Melissa saw a need for evidence-based therapy that comes to the family, especially feeding and swallowing support, and she built a practice around the home.

What began as a single practice has grown into a team of licensed speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and assistants who support infants, children, and adults.

Every visit is one-on-one and built around your child, your routines, and your goals. Because therapy happens where your family already lives, new skills carry over into everyday life.

Meet Melissa Peters Yang

“I started Speak Live Play because I believe therapy works best when it doesn’t feel like ‘therapy’ at all. It feels like play, connection, and everyday family life.”Melissa Peters Yang, Founder and Program Director

Melissa is a licensed, certified speech-language pathologist with a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Molloy College. She earned her Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) credential in 2023 after eight years specializing in infant feeding, and she brings that experience to clients from infancy through adulthood.
