Welcome to Our WeConnect Family — I'm Mariela Narvaez
Helping children communicate with confidence in English and Spanish—through personalized, engaging virtual therapy.
My journey as a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist began with a deep passion for the power of connection. With over 12 years of experience working with diverse families, I founded WeConnect to provide a bridge for children to thrive in both English and Spanish. I believe that every child deserves to be heard and understood, regardless of the language they speak.
I work with children and adolescents experiencing speech delays, articulation challenges, language disorders, and social communication needs. My approach is evidence-based and child-centered, focusing on virtual care that integrates seamlessly into your daily environment. I’ve supported hundreds of students and families across school-based and teletherapy settings, helping children build real-world communication skills that carry over into daily life.
Families choose WeConnect for its culturally responsive, bilingual approach and personalized care.
My approach is evidence-based, child-centered, and designed for real-life success. Through virtual therapy that integrates seamlessly into your daily routine, I support children in developing strong articulation, language, and social communication skills. Sessions are engaging, personalized, and focused on meaningful progress—so therapy feels natural, effective, and empowering for both your child and your family.
