Playful Learning for Speech Development


M.A., CCC-SLP
Hi, I'm Melissa B. Hatcher
I am an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist and the proud owner of Empowered Speech Therapy LLC. After years of working as a school-based SLP, I felt a calling to connect more deeply and meaningfully with the families in my community. My goal was not just to deliver high-quality, effective therapy to children but also to empower parents and families with the skills and confidence to support their child's progress.
​
Empowered Speech Therapy LLC is my way of serving our community, offering personalized care that aligns with your child's interests and your family's values. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service that makes a lasting impact on the lives of the children and families I work with.
Play, Connection, Trust
MY APPROACH
My goal is to create a warm and nurturing space where your child feels supported, encouraged, and empowered to overcome their communication barriers. I take a child-led, personalized approach to therapy, always meeting your child exactly where they are that day. I understand that no individual can learn when their nervous system is not regulated, or they are feeling stress. My focus is to foster a genuine connection of trust that leads to the development communication skills and overall growth and confidence.
