Celebrating Our Growing Practice!

Adult Speech Therapy Services Celebrates 5 Years in Business

I am humbled and grateful to celebrate my practice’s 5 year anniversary this month.  When I opened my practice 5 years ago, I knew I was taking a risk in starting my own business. I did not know about the unusual circumstances I would encounter in those first few years.  As we all have had to do in the face of a global pandemic, I had no choice but to adapt my business to the changing world, and to grow with it. It was well worth it, as those changes allowed me to continue supporting adults with communication disorders, which is my passion.

Celebrating Resilience

After closing my office in March of 2020, as social distancing restrictions were in full-effect, I needed to find a way to continue treating my clients- from a distance. The solution was to begin offering telehealth services.  This was an adjustment for both myself and my clients at first, but we quickly got used to the new service delivery model. In fact, many clients began to appreciate the convenience of telehealth, as they no longer had to commute to their speech therapy appointments.  Plus, research supports outcomes for speech therapy provided via telehealth!

Providing telehealth services turned out to be another opportunity for growth. I could now help people living farther away from my office. In fact, I decided to become licensed to practice in Virginia, as well as Maryland, to have the opportunity to serve more clients. I also completed training to become  eLOUD certified so that I could continue to offer the LSVT Loud program virtually, while maintaining the same quality of care provided during in-person sessions.
