Meet Your Speech Therapist
Rachel Atkinson, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist, Owner
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a certified pediatric speech-language pathologist with a love for the outdoors. I get into my flow state when I’m gardening, reading a good book, going for a hike, or cooking. My journey into the field of speech and language pathology began in 2018 and I graduated with my Master’s degree in 2021. I worked in early intervention and pediatric outpatient speech therapy settings before starting my own private practice. I’m passionate about authentic connection over compliance, neurodiversity-affirming and culturally competent services, and I’m a lifelong Spanish as a second language learner. I started my practice, Nurturing Communication Speech Therapy, to honor all the parents who nurture their child day in and day out and are seeking to better support their child’s feeding or communication!
Some of the specialty trainings I have include:
Meaningful Speech Course: Gestalt Language Processing, and AAC & GLP
Natural Language Acquisition in Autism: Echolalia to Self-Generated Language (Level 1)
The 4-Step Sensory Solution, A to Z Sensory Implementation
