About the Speech Therapist


Ari (Cypress) Sepulveda, MS., CCC-SLP
Owner of Speech with Cypress
Hi! I’m Ari (or Cypress) and my pronouns are they / them. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent speech language therapist practicing in the San Francisco East Bay Area. I have a passion for supporting my communities, creating accessible spaces, and engaging in nature. In my free time, I can be found in my garden with my wife, camping and hiking, or creating fun art.
I received a B.S. in Psychology from University of Oregon, and a B.S. and M.S. in Communication Disorders from University of Oregon. My experience as an SLP has allowed me to work across the lifespan and in schools across all grade levels. I have experience navigating the special education system and supports that many families share they desire. Throughout my lived experience, I have seen and understand firsthand how challenging taking steps toward advocating for oneself and family can be within the health and education systems. I decided to move into private practice in 2026. This has allowed me to serve my clients to the fullest extent that they want and need.
If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, reach out through my booking link or through the Beaming Health portal to get started today.
