Chelsea Crumbleholme

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.A., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 26 insurance plans

Hi! I’m Chelsea. I became a speech-language pathologist because I’ve always wanted to help others and believe everyone deserves the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences with the world. I love providing individualized care and building meaningful relationships with each client while helping them discover their unique ways of communicating.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve supported children with a wide range of communication needs. I enjoy creating individualized therapy plans that build on each child’s strengths and help them develop the skills they need to communicate confidently in everyday life.

I’m committed to lifelong learning and regularly pursue continuing education focused on supporting children’s communication development. My professional development includes training in social communication, advanced language skills, critical thinking, and early childhood stuttering intervention, including Facilitating Social Communication in Elementary-Age Children, Philosophy for Adolescents: Supporting Critical Thinking and Advanced Language Skills, and Early Childhood Stuttering: Indirect and Direct Treatments.

My therapy approach is client-centered, highly individualized, and rooted in family-centered care. I build on each child’s strengths while using functional, meaningful strategies that support engagement and carryover into everyday routines. My goal is to create a supportive environment where children can grow their communication skills, build confidence, and thrive.
