Unlock Your Child’s Potential with Expert Pediatric Speech Therapy in Fayetteville, NC!

Cape Fear Pediatric Speech Therapy Services provides child-centered, play-based pediatric speech therapy in Fayetteville, NC for children ages 15 months to 15 years. As a boutique-style, one-on-one private practice, I offer highly personalized care tailored to each child’s unique strengths, communication style, and developmental needs.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming pediatric speech therapist, supporting children of all learning profiles with respect, acceptance, and evidence-based strategies. I specialize in speech sound disorders, late talkers, language delays, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), social communication, and AAC (augmentative and alternative communication).

Families looking for speech therapy in Fayetteville, NC, preschool speech therapy, or a more individualized approach appreciate my hands-on, relationship-focused model that helps children build meaningful communication skills at home, at school, and in daily life. Whether your child needs support with articulation, language development, social communication, or AAC, I’m here to help them thrive with compassionate, affirming, and customized care.

Speech Therapy

Articulation Disorders & Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Speech therapy focuses on helping your child use accurate speech sounds during fun activities! Your child will learn to:
Move their lips, teeth, and tongue to make sounds that are difficult for them to say
Produce clear speech that you and others can understand
Improve their phonological awareness and letter-sound knowledge
Express themselves with confidence (using speech and/or AAC)
Language Therapy

Language Delays and Disorders & Late Talkers
Children learn best during play, so we’ll use toys, games, music, and books to grow your child’s language skills! Our evidence-based language interventions will help your child:
Use signs, gestures, spoken words, and AAC to communicate wants and needs
Play and socialize with others
Understand and follow directions
Produce grammatically correct sentences and answer questions
Communicate with less frustration
Virtual Speech Therapy

Teletherapy Services
Our virtual speech therapy sessions use interactive digital games, toys, songs, books, and movement-based activities to build your child’s language skills from the comfort of home.
Participate in engaging online activities that encourage turn-taking, social interaction, and play skills
Follow 1–2 step directions during fun, interactive screen-based tasks
Express needs and ideas more easily, leading to smoother communication and fewer frustrations.

Meet the Founder

Licensed, Speech-Language Pathologist
Owner of Cape Fear Pediatric Speech Therapy Services

I’m Christian Carver, M.S. CCC-SLP, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with 7 years of experience in early intervention, outpatient clinics, schools, and private practice. I’m passionate about helping young children become confident, successful communicators.

My therapy style is play-based, energetic, and personalized to your child’s interests, strengths, and needs. Whether we’re targeting early language, AAC, speech clarity, or social communication, I use evidence-based, meaningful strategies that create real progress at home and in therapy.

I have extensive experience working with children with Autism, language delays, speech sound disorders, gestalt language processing, Down Syndrome, ADHD, and minimally verbal communicators. I also love empowering families with simple, practical tools they can use in everyday routines.

My goal is for every child to feel supported and understood—and for every family to feel confident and equipped on their communication journey.

What Families Are Saying 〰️

My son has been seeing Ms. Christian since he was 2 yrs old. He has come so far with her. His speech has improved greatly. He can now say almost full sentences. He also loves going to her and he looks forward to it. She is very friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a sweet and caring speech therapist for your child. Without her, I’m not sure how my son's speech would be right now! Highly recommend!
"We saw progress within the first few weeks. Christian made therapy fun, and my son actually looks forward to every session now!"
“We love Cape Fear Pediatric Speech Therapy Services. My daughter is finally able to express her wants and needs, and the confidence she has gained is incredible.”
“Christian instantly connected with my child. Her patience, warmth, and play-based approach made all the difference for our family.”

“When children play, they’re not ‘just playing’ — they’re building the foundation for

communication, connection, and confidence.”
