A MESSAGE FROM OUR OWNER

Simply Spoken Therapy was created to address the need for a different approach to therapy.

After years of managing massive caseloads, navigating frustrating eligibility requirements, enduring endless paperwork and meetings, I found myself feeling less effective each day and teetering on the brink of burnout.

I knew there had to be a better way…

…a way to connect with each child and their family, incorporating family goals into therapy. For any parent whose child isn’t saying “mama” or “dada” yet – that is the ONLY word you want to hear, am I right?! I was determined to create a culture of mutual respect, compassion, and kindness… a business where every client knows their therapist and can engage in open and honest conversations.

Fast forward to 2017, and Simply Spoken Therapy was born!

Simply Spoken Therapy is a speech clinic that genuinely cares for each client, provides exceptional therapy, and takes the time to listen to each family’s goals. We are committed to ensuring that you feel welcomed, heard, and respected throughout every step of the therapy process.

OWNER

Hi there and welcome! I’m Amanda, speech-language pathologist, mom, and proud owner of Simply Spoken Therapy.

I’ve always known I was meant to help others - whether it was chatting through assignments in elementary school (oops!), organizing fundraisers in high school, or cheering on my classmates along the way (I was voted “Most Spirited” in high school). Helping people and making meaningful connections has always been at the heart of who I am.

Believe it or not, my journey into speech therapy started when I tagged along to my college roommate’s “Intro to Communicative Disorders” class. I sat in on that first lecture and instantly knew I had found my calling. I changed my major that same day - and I’ve never looked back.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with clients across the lifespan, but my heart has always belonged to the littles. I absolutely love supporting early language learners, helping kids with speech sound challenges, and guiding those who need a little extra help connecting with their peers. There’s nothing more magical than watching a child discover the power of communication - whether it's saying a first word, asking for what they need, or sharing a silly joke with a new friend. Those moments light me up.

At Simply Spoken Therapy, your child will be met with energy, expertise, and an abundance of heart. I believe in building relationships first and meeting every child exactly where they are - because that’s where the best kind of progress begins.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me spending time with my amazing husband Pete, our spunky daughter Maeve, and our rescue pup Shadow. I’m also a big fan of fresh air, sparkle-anything, candles, and yes… a good Real Housewives binge.

I truly consider it an honor to walk alongside your family in this journey. You’re not just in good hands here - you’re in hands that care deeply.

Ms. Brittany

MS CCC-SLP

Hi, hola, bonjour, ciao, aloha! No, I am not fluent in any other language besides English, but what kind of speech language pathologist would I be if I didn’t welcome you with a bunch of synonyms for HELLO?! My name is Brittany, but a lot of my kiddos call me Ms. B!

Just like Ms. Amanda, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Communicative Disorders and my Masters of Science in Education degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater! GO WARHAWKS! Following graduation, I worked in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care with the adult and geriatric populations and then transitioned to working in pediatrics. Since then, I have been given the opportunity to work with an extremely diverse population of children with various communication disorders. I love seeing the progress my kiddos make in therapy and it is definitely a rewarding job to have! I especially enjoy my itty bitties who are working on early language skills, children with feeding disorders, as well as kids who present with severe speech and language disorders that may require other forms of communication, such as Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC)! Everyone deserves a voice and every child’s needs and skills are unique. I feel honored to be the person to help your child on their journey in finding their voice and using it effectively.

When I am not working with kiddos, I am either taking long coffee walks with my husband, sketching, or decorating. Most people find this an odd hobby, but I also love to ORGANIZE! Don’t be surprised if you see me walking around with a million TO-DO lists because that is my jam! I may not have as much energy as Ms. Amanda, but I’d like to think I’m pretty close! I am so excited to be a part of this team and to meet you and your littles! Let’s do this!

Ms. MORGAN

MS CCC-SLP

Hello! My name is Morgan, I am so excited to be joining the team and to be working with the amazing kiddos and families here at Simply Spoken!

I have always known I loved helping others and working with kids. I remember when I was younger, my friends and I would pretend to be teachers and create our own classrooms during the summer. We were probably the only kids who still wanted to pretend that we were in school over summer break! That was when I knew I was going to be helping others in my future. In elementary school, I would be the first to volunteer to help others and loved when my older cousins would bring their kids around. My clinical experiences I had throughout graduate school in elementary schools and working with younger children only solidified my love and passion for working with this age group. I love the flexibility of the profession of Speech Pathology and being able to help kids become effective communicators!

Similar to Ms. Amanda and Ms. Brittany, I am a former Warhawk! I completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and then moved up north to complete my master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I was born and raised in Kenosha and knew that I would end up back here after college and cannot explain how thrilled I am to be starting my career here at Simply Spoken!

Outside of working, you can find me outside spending time with my family and friends. Whether it be going for walks with my puppy, going for hikes, running with my sister, catching up with friends and family on a hot summer day, or playing card games I love the outdoors and spending my time with the people that mean the most to me! I also enjoy spending my down time reading and working on puzzles. Although, I did not do much of this the past two years while still in school! I am honored to be able to work with the children and families here and cannot wait to get started!

Ms. CHLOE

MS CCC-SLP

Hi! My name is Chloe and I am so excited to be officially joining the Simply Spoken team and working with all the amazing families here!

As a kid I was known as a social butterfly by my teachers! I love being around people and building connections with others! I knew I needed to be in a field that allowed me to communicate with others and what better way to do that than becoming a speech pathologist! I solidified my choice of becoming a speech pathologist my sophomore year of college when my dad worked with a speech pathologist on his cancer treatment team. I am very passionate about providing exceptional service to my clients as I strive to be the speech pathologist I would want my dad to be working with!

I received my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to receive my master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I am from the Milwaukee area, and I am excited to be working in Kenosha and try new things around here! If anyone has any recommendations for restaurants or fun activities, I would love to hear them!!

Throughout my experiences in graduate school, I knew working with kids would be the best fit for me! I love being able to watch my clients reach their goals while having fun in the sessions! I love how diverse the field of speech pathology is and having the opportunities to work with various kiddos! While I love working with everyone, I have especially enjoyed working with articulation and fluency disorders. I value collaboration and communication when it comes to providing therapy! I want everyone that is involved to understand why we are doing what we are doing.

Outside of Simply Spoken, I love to spend time with my friends and family! I love all things sports, whether I get to watch a game on TV with friends or go to a game in person it is a blast! I enjoy taking walks or going to the gym to get up and moving! I am so fortunate to be surrounded by a fantastic team that is passionate about making a positive difference in family’s lives! I am excited to meet everyone and work with the children and families here!

MA CCC-SLP

Hello! My name is Bella, and I am ecstatic to be joining you all here at Simply Spoken!

A college professor once told me that people end up in this field in one of two ways: either by stumbling into it by accident or because they or a family member received speech therapy. I grew up with cousins who received speech services, and one cousin’s journey, in particular, really stuck with me. He was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), and watching his speech go from unintelligible grunts to full-fledged sentences made me want to join the field immediately. Ever since then, I’ve been working toward becoming just like the therapist who helped him.

I spent six years at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (Row the Boat, Ski-U-Mah, Go Gophers!) earning both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Since graduating, I’ve worked in both private practice and school settings. I’m so excited to be back in private practice, where I can work more closely with my kiddos and their wonderful families.

Some of my favorite clients have been early language learners. I love walking into a session and making it feel more like play than work. Seeing kids who previously had no way to communicate begin using gestures, signs, words-even phrases-is incredibly rewarding. I’ll never forget when a mom told me how happy she was to finally communicate with her child in a way they both could understand. Those are the moments that stick with me.

I also love working with articulation kiddos. Watching their speech sound production skills improve-and seeing their self-confidence grow along with it-makes me so proud of their hard work. Speech can be tough, and I always acknowledge that, but I want my kids to know that this is a safe, supportive place to learn and grow. There’s no judgment here-only learning and games!

When I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me in a dance fitness class (maybe even with Amanda!), hanging out with my dog Loki, watching (but not playing!) football with my husband, or playing games with friends.

DIRECTOR OF DETAILS

Hi! I am Angela Born, Director of Details at Simply Spoken Therapy!

That means I am the one who takes care of all of the details behind the scenes while our awesome team meets with your children face-to-face. I knew as soon as Amanda said she was looking for someone to join her team I needed to explore this. I could not be happier working with all of the ladies here at SST. I have a background in the medical field as well as customer service.

When I am not at Simply Spoken I am probably spending time with my family or out around town capturing family portraits as I am also a local photographer. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past 6 years. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and have 2 daughters that keep us busy with sports and school. We love spending time outdoors in all of the seasons. I love the beach but nothing really beats a good snowfall with sledding and snow fort building.

OUR OFFICE

Our space was thoughtfully designed to spark joy, comfort, and curiosity from the moment kids walk through the door. We know that therapy works best when children feel safe, welcomed, and excited to be here - and that starts with an environment that’s just as fun and inviting as the work we do together.

And it’s not just for the kids - grown-ups will feel equally at ease in our bright, modern space. With cozy seating, a calming atmosphere, and thoughtful details throughout, we’ve created a place where the whole family can feel right at home – we hope that you agree!
