about my company
How can I help you
WholeStory Speech uses SEST to elevate long-established speech therapy interventions to meet your child’s needs in today’s digital age. WholeStory Speech provides parents with tools using a ‘train-the-trainer” system. My company gives constant digital and real-time support for parent-child success.
THE BENEFITS
Why the Story Emotion Social Therapy (SEST) approach?
- SEST uses tried and true traditional speech, language, and social therapy treatments, but works to balance your child’s wellbeing before giving effective therapy.
- SEST, developed by Dr. Rochel Lieberman (a speech-language pathologist) and Dr. Gary Dick ( a social-worker), uses mindful language and social-emotional awareness to grow social communication that is portable through adulthood.
- SEST understands the professional’s bridge to the child and parent, uniquely co-treating both.
- SEST creates effective change for your child because it is used by therapists across disciplines.

WHAT I BELIEVE
The SEST philosophy:
I believe children typically listen to stories when they should be telling them.
Understanding storytelling is the secret to children’s language development.
Expanding these skills early on gives children a head-start to becoming higher-functioning adults.

THE WOMAN BEHIND WHOLESTORY SPEECH
Meet Rochel Lieberman
“I am the developer of Story Emotion Social Therapy and author of a children’s book embedding social-emotional competence with language expression. My research, publications, and presentations have addressed child language, emotional intelligence, and student stress.
Since 2001 I have been helping children and adults enhance their speech and language across diverse settings, including my therapy practice Ariber Speech Therapy. I received the 2013, 2019 and 2023 Award for Continuing Education from American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
When I am not in WholeStory Speech, researching and developing parent-child speech and social skills, I can be found rummaging through vintage and thrift shops for treasures.”
Dr. Rochel Lieberman is a researcher, speech-language pathologist, and fun-loving city mom
