Chidera Oyeka, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a licensed speech-language pathologist and the owner of Unscripted: Social Communication Therapy, a private practice based in San Jose, California. She brings years of experience working with adolescents and adults to help them build authentic communication, confidence, and independence across real-life settings.
Chidera earned her master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from San José State University and has clinical experience in schools, private practice, and teletherapy. Her work focuses on supporting individuals ages 12 and up who are navigating social communication challenges, pragmatic language differences, and executive-function skills that impact daily life, learning, and relationships.
Her therapy approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and highly individualized. Each session blends evidence-based strategies with practical application—helping clients transfer skills from structured practice to natural, everyday conversations. She believes that communication should feel natural, flexible, and empowering—not scripted.
Chidera partners closely with families, educators, and other professionals to ensure continuity of care, and she is passionate about creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their communication goals with confidence and authenticity.
Unscripted offers both mobile and teletherapy services throughout California, making therapy accessible and flexible for busy students, young professionals, and adults seeking to improve social connection, communication, and self-expression.
Over the course of my career, I found myself gravitating toward supporting families and individuals who were less able to communicate their needs. This led me to seek additional training to gain a deeper understanding of how to assist my clients in more complex aspects of our scope of practice such as reading/writing, feeding, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). In my free time, you can catch me learning new methods, playing with my plethora of animals, or sitting outside getting some much needed Vitamin D as I catch up on a good book.
At Shine Health and Wellness in Pasadena, California, patients receive comprehensive wellness services for a wide range of health conditions. Kimberley Shine, MD, offers her patients unmatched expertise and extensive one-on-one care.
As a student at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Shine was surprised to discover that the curriculum focused on each organ system separately. Her coursework also defined health solely through the absence of disease. However, Dr. Shine knew there had to be more to the practice of medicine than these traditional methods.
Dr. Shine realized that the doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of medicine. She understood that it's essential for patients to feel that they can trust their physician. In turn, physicians must listen to their patients and validate their patients’ feelings.
After spending more than a decade as a family medicine doctor, Dr. Shine decided to develop a practice that reflects her own values. She discovered integrative and functional medicine and quickly incorporated these core concepts into her practice.
Dr. Shine knows that it's not enough to simply treat symptoms as they arise. Instead, doctors must work together with patients to identify the root cause of their health problems. At Shine Health and Wellness, this close doctor-patient relationship is at the core of Dr. Shine's work. She takes pride in helping patients feel educated and empowered by their health care decisions.
Today, Dr. Shine is proud to be a part of a thriving practice that includes experienced nurses, a lifestyle coach, and a licensed acupuncturist. Along with the rest of her team, Dr. Shine strives to provide each patient with personalized, evidence-based medical care that improves their quality of life.
