Meet the Speech Therapist Behind
I Empower Speech Therapy
I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and the owner of I Empower Speech Therapy, Inc., where I provide specialized speech and language services for children and families across California. My practice is built on individualized care, clinical expertise, and the belief that families deserve clear answers, meaningful support, and services tailored to their child’s unique needs.
Over the past 6 years, I have worked with several school districts and have seen how often children face real communication challenges that affect learning, participation, and confidence, even when they may not qualify for school-based services. That experience has shaped the way I serve families today: with a focus on identifying meaningful needs, closing gaps, and providing support that is both practical and effective.
Ana Esparza Hayes
Licensed Speech Language Pathologist
serving families across California
I specialize in speech and language therapy, comprehensive evaluations, parent coaching, and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs). I also have experience supporting bilingual families and helping parents better understand the difference between a language difference and a true disorder, so they can make informed decisions about their child’s care and educational support.
In addition to my professional background, I am also a mother of two children with autism and one with ADHD. I have personally navigated the school system, IEP process, and the challenges that come with trying to secure the right services for a child. This lived experience allows me to support families not only as a clinician, but as someone who truly understands how overwhelming the process can feel.
My mission is to provide high quality, individualized care that helps children grow in their communication skills while empowering parents with the knowledge, support, and confidence to advocate for their child. I believe parents should never feel stuck waiting when they know their child needs support.
