Emily Michel

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

Accepts 54 insurance plans

Hi! I'm Emily. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I knew from a young age that I found fulfillment through helping others. I found the field of speech-language pathology, which became a perfect fit for my career.

I have worked in settings such as pediatric private practice, teletherapy, home health, inpatient rehab, and post-trauma centers. To deepen my knowledge, I have pursued courses in early intervention and gestalt language processing and am working toward my autism certification. These experiences have helped me build a thoughtful, individualized approach that centers each person's strengths while supporting functional communication in everyday life.

I would describe my clinical style as holistic and family-centric, and I am especially passionate about empowering families and individuals to improve their communication from infancy through adulthood.

Emily is a great therapist. She understands that speech therapy isn’t a one size fits all approach and tailors the session to my specific needs.

We loved Emily! Albeit we had only 3 sessions but we saw results in the first week, just by applying specific strategies Emily recommended. I was apprehensive at the start, given it’s all via video, but it’s more about providing the parents with the tools, techniques, and suggestions to implement. Parent empowerment! Thank you once again to Expressable and especially Emily for the help! I recommend you guys to every parent who feels they need extra help with their child.
