Pediatric Speech and Language Services

Florece Therapy is a bilingual (English/Spanish) private practice offering in-person evaluations and therapy in Lake Nona, surrounding East Orlando communities, and our St. Cloud therapy office, as well as virtual services throughout Florida.

We specialize in providing personalized, culturally responsive, and family-centered care for monolingual and multilingual children. As an independently owned private practice, families work directly with the same speech-language pathologist throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation and comprehensive evaluation to individualized therapy and ongoing support ensuring consistency, meaningful relationships, and care tailored to each child's unique communication journey.

Meet Your Child’s Therapist

Founder of Florece Therapy

Throughout my career as a bilingual speech-language pathologist, I have had the privilege of evaluating and supporting children with a wide range of speech, language, and communication needs. I am passionate about providing individualized, culturally responsive, and family-centered care that honors each child’s strengths, background, and unique way of communicating.

The name Florece, meaning “to bloom” in Spanish, was intentionally chosen to reflect one of the core beliefs behind my practice: every child grows and thrives in their own time. Development is not always linear. Some children make progress quickly, while others need additional time, support, and encouragement and that is completely natural.

With the right support, every child can flourish in their own unique season.

This belief shapes not only the way I support children and families, but also the way I approach my own growth as a professional, parent, and person. I understand that the communication journey may sometimes feel overwhelming, and I am here to provide guidance, encouragement, and practical support every step of the way.

  • Our Play-Based Aproach

    Therapy should feel like play because, for children, play is learning. Florece Therapy uses purposeful play to make sessions feel natural, engaging, and enjoyable.

    Through games, toys, and activities tailored to each child’s interests, Nicole helps children learn and practice communication skills in a joyful, discovery-driven way. This approach blends structure with creativity, offering the benefits of guided learning while preserving the magic of play.

  • A Child-Center Approach

    Rather than directing every moment, Nicole follows each child’s lead during therapy sessions. By tuning into what interests, excites, and motivates them, she creates opportunities for genuine connection and meaningful interaction. Her approach is grounded in the belief that progress grows through trust, engagement, and connection not pressure or compliance.

  • Family-Centered Care

    Parents and caregivers are their child’s greatest advocates. They know their child best, and their insight is an essential part of the therapy process.

    Nicole works closely with families to help make communication support feel like a natural part of everyday routines. Her goal is to provide caregivers with practical tools, strategies, and confidence to support their child’s communication journey beyond each therapy session.

  • Holistic and Collaborative Care

    Nicole focuses on understanding the underlying factors contributing to each child’s communication challenges and addressing them through individualized therapy. When appropriate, she provides referrals and collaborates with other professionals to help ensure each child receives comprehensive, coordinated support.

  • Convenient and Compassionate Care

    Florece Therapy brings services to the settings where children feel safest and most comfortable, whether at home, in daycare or preschool, in the clinic, or through virtual sessions. Each one-on-one session is thoughtfully designed to support the child’s individual needs within a familiar and encouraging environment.

  • Multicultural Care

    Florece Therapy carefully considers each child’s cultural and linguistic background, especially when evaluating bilingual and multilingual children. Differences between languages are not automatically signs of a disorder. By looking at communication skills across languages and everyday settings, Nicole works to support accurate identification of needs and meaningful, family-centered goals.
