Playful Learning for Speech Development

Woman Smiling

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.
