About Sabrina

Founder of Itzy Bitzy Speech Therapy

Hi! I’m Sabrina Itzhaki, a licensed speech-language pathologist, play expert, and proud Brooklyn local.

After five years supporting Pre-K and elementary-aged students across NYC public schools, I created Itzy Bitzy Speech Therapy to bring a fresh, fun, and family-centered approach to speech therapy — one that actually works because it’s built around what kids love.

I'm not your typical therapist.

At Itzy Bitzy, we don’t just drill sounds — we build confidence, connection, and communication that sticks. Whether your child needs help with clear speech, expressive language, or literacy, I meet them exactly where they are — at home, in their world, and on their terms.

Because here’s the truth: kids learn best when they’re having fun. That’s why my sessions are always:

  • child-led - no cookie-cutter plans here
  • play-based - because play is powerful!
  • tailored to your child's passions - Dinosaurs? Debate team? Minecraft? Let’s go.
  • When I'm not busy cheering on speech breakthroughs...

    You'll probably find me wandering through Brooklyn with a croissant in hand, on the hunt for the best bakeries and farmer's markets. I love spending time with my husband and our labradoodle, Melo (we're regulars at the dog park!), and I'm on a mission to visit every U.S. National Park — I've made it to 23 so far!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I work with children in Pre-K through elementary school — typically ages 4–11. If you're unsure if your child is the right age for services, feel free to reach out!

    I provide home-based services throughout South and Northwestern Brooklyn — including neighborhoods like Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Gowanus, Windsor Terrace, and Downtown Brooklyn. . No rushing, no waiting rooms — just cozy, convenient care right where they feel most at ease.

    At this time, I primarily offer in-person sessions in Brooklyn. If you're interested in teletherapy, let's chat — in some cases, it may be a great option!

    Sessions are either 45 minutes or 1 hour, depending on your child's needs and what works best for your family.

    Itzy Bitzy Speech Therapy is a private-pay practice, meaning I don't bill insurance directly. However, I'm happy to provide invoices or documentation if you'd like to submit for out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance provider.

    My approach is child-led, play-based, and interest-driven — because kids learn best when they're having fun. I build each session around what your child enjoys, so therapy feels more like play and less like work. Whether your child loves trains, cooking, or video games, we'll use their interests to motivate and engage them every step of the way.

    Easy! Just send me a quick message or give me a call. I offer free consultations where we'll talk through your concerns, goals, and whether we're a good fit.
