About Mal

Communication connects us all, and every voice deserves to be heard.

Mal L - Speech Language Pathologist

Hi, I’m Mal

I’m a licensed speech-language pathologist with experience across pediatric and adult speech-language practice, including school-based services, early intervention, and direct private practice. I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and I’m licensed in both California and Colorado.

My work is grounded in the belief that communication connects us all, and every voice deserves to be heard. I partner closely with families and adult clients to deliver flexible, consistent services at home in Shasta County or via telehealth across California and Colorado. What drives me is clear processes and genuine partnership with each client.
