Today, we honor 10 years of — and the collective strength of every Latina who shows up, speaks up, and keeps building despite the odds.

💜 Latinas earn just 54 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. That’s not just a number — it’s a lifetime of unpaid value, creativity, and care.

At Brainstorm, we honor the moms, abuelas, tías, nannies, and caregivers who pour love into every generation — the heart of our homes and the soul of our communities.

We’re here to represent, support, and uplift our families and our future.

Because we deserve to be paid fully and fairly — now, not later.

✨ Let’s keep using our voices, lifting each other up, and creating the change our comunidad deserves.





Hoy honramos 10 años del — y la fuerza colectiva de cada Latina que sigue adelante, alza su voz y construye, a pesar de todo.

💜 Las Latinas ganamos solo 54 centavos por cada dólar que gana un hombre blanco no hispano. No es solo una cifra — es una vida de trabajo, talento y amor no reconocidos.

En Brainstorm celebramos a las mamás, abuelas, tías, niñeras y cuidadoras que con su amor sostienen generaciones — el corazón de nuestros hogares y el alma de nuestras comunidades.

Estamos aquí para representar, apoyar y elevar a nuestras familias y nuestro futuro.

Porque merecemos ser valoradas plena y justamente, hoy, no mañana.

✨ Sigamos alzando la voz, apoyándonos entre nosotras y creando el cambio que nuestra comunidad merece.

Some families become part of your story forever. 🌈

One family trusted Brainstorm since the very beginning — back when it was just a therapist driving across Northern Virginia, wearing a mask, and holding on to the belief that the pandemic would one day end. Their trust became part of the foundation of who we are today. 🌿

Another family has been waiting so patiently — trusting us as we worked to become credentialed with Medicaid and Anthem. Their hope reminds me that Brainstorm’s story is still being written, one filled with heart, transparency, and compassion. ☕

✨ And today is a meaningful day.
We proudly served our FIRST Medicaid family — a moment that, for us, represents much more than a milestone. It’s a promise: to make our services affordable, equitable, and accessible for all families. Especially for our Latino families, who deserve someone that understands their background, their culture, their heritage, and their spirit.

We go beyond the language — and that’s why I’m so proud to announce that Brainstorm is now officially in-network with Medicaid Anthem. 💙

Some families are the foundation of our past, and others are the hope that shapes our future.

I am forever grateful for both. 💛

Every word is a step toward connection.

When Aaron first came to BrainStorm Speech Therapy, his family was searching for a space where he could be understood—in both English and Spanish. What started as quiet play and gentle encouragement soon turned into joyful discoveries: new sounds, new words, and new confidence.

We believe every child’s voice is worth celebrating. Aaron's journey reminds us that progress is not just measured in milestones, but in the laughter, questions, and hugs that fill our days together. 💙

Are you looking for support that truly sees your family? Reach out to learn how our bilingual, neuroaffirmative team can help your child’s story unfold.

Let’s celebrate every voice, together.

Ready to connect? Reach out today to learn how we can walk this path together.

Familia, lenguaje y conexión—nuestras raíces son profundas. ¿Cómo celebra tu familia la cultura y la unión? Estamos aquí para apoyar a tu hijo/a, en inglés o español, con respeto y cariño.

✨Old Theories I’ve Finally Let Go Of (And What I Do Instead) ✨

When I started practicing, I held tightly to the strategies I learned in grad school—because that’s what I thought made me a “good” therapist.

7 years into private practice, I’ve unlearned a lot.
I’ve learned to trust connection over compliance.
To respect neurodivergent communication instead of trying to mold it.

To question every “should.”

Growth as a clinician isn’t always comfortable—but it’s worth it. 🌱

💬 Which one of these shifts resonates with you most?

Drop a 🌟 in the comments if you’re on your own journey of unlearning and relearning.

We did it 💛

The very first Brainstorm Summer Explorers Camp has officially wrapped, and our heart is full.

This little dream became a reality thanks to so many beautiful people. To our families, thank you for trusting us with your little humans—we saw so much growth, laughter, and connection in just one week.

To our Brainstorm Fairy Grandparents and the wonderful members of the Falls Church community, your generosity has helped create something magical and accessible for all our campers.

Thank you to our community partners: , the beautiful Howard E Herman Park/trail, the welcoming Cherry Hill Park, our local gem , and the incredibly talented face painting artist Jay Song at —you made each day special and sensory-rich.

And to my dream team—Katie and Carolina—thank you for showing up with heart, resources, playfulness, and vision. This wouldn’t have existed without you.

Here’s to bilingual voices, neurodiverse joy, sticky popsicle hands, and big kid dreams. 🌈

🌞 Day 1 of Summer Camp: A day full of magic, movement, and meaningful moments!

Our little explorers ran, painted, played—and most importantly—connected! 💬✨
Every activity was designed to support language, creativity, and the unique strengths of neurodivergent children in a safe, bilingual, and joyful space.

We believe in the power of play, the beauty of diversity, and the voices that speak in many different ways. 🧠💛
And this is just the beginning!
