At Expressions, we believe in finding the why behind your child’s speech, language, & feeding issues to provide the most individualized, appropriate, & comprehensive therapy possible.
About our Team
Expressions therapists love learning and growing (we can get a little nerdy about it). Since the field of speech pathology covers so much ground, we've found that specializing in certain areas helps us give the best possible care. Each therapist at Expressions is always learning more about their specialty area so we can provide the most competent and appropriate therapy possible. We meet weekly to share ideas, collaborate, and grow stronger as a team.
No two patients or families are the same! We care deeply about providing individualized, specific care for each patient. We get to the root of the problem—not just put a band-aid on the symptoms. We also prioritize support and education for our families. We value your voice and want you to feel heard, supported, and cared for throughout our time together.
OUR SERVICES
-
SPEECH THERAPY
We do more than "traditional" speech therapy at Expressions, which isn't the right fit for kids who have persistent speech sound errors or a myofunctional disorder. We investigate underlying causes for speech errors & create an individualized treatment plan with you to address your child's needs.
-
MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY
We treat functional causes of dental issues, chronic congestion, speech issues, feeding issues, sleep issues, & more by addressing necessary skills & habits to improve quality of life. We help navigate your child’s symptoms & make an individualized, intentional treatment plan for the specific needs presented. (We also see some adults for myo!)
-
FEEDING THERAPY
Having a child with feeding issues can be frustrating & scary. We support you & your child as we help your child learn to nurse, use a bottle, eat solid food, expand their diet, or manage foods they do eat more efficiently. We create an individualized treatment plan that addresses your child's needs
