Eva Papendorf

Hi! I’m Eva. Pursuing a career in speech-language pathology has allowed me to align my purpose with my passion. I find deep fulfillment in helping people become more confident communicators and express themselves more fully in the world. I believe my calling is to support individuals of all ages in finding their voice and learning to advocate for themselves.

Speech-language pathology allows me to continuously grow my knowledge in new evidenced-based practices while also counseling and supporting families along their therapy journeys. There is no greater joy than celebrating communication or feeding breakthroughs—big and small—with the families I serve. Each milestone is the result of a collaborative effort, and every success deserves recognition. These shared victories continually reaffirm why I chose this field.

I began my career in Early Childhood Intervention serving patients in their homes. I then worked in a pediatric outpatient clinic, treating patients from birth to age 21 with a variety of communication and feeding disorders while also supervising graduate students and speech-language pathology assistants (SLP-As). I have completed specialized trainings to support children’s communication and feeding needs, including AEIOU: An Integrated Approach to Pediatric Feeding, Teach Me to Talk, and Making the Shift: Revolutionary Methods for Autistic Kids.

I approach therapy with a holistic, client-centered, and highly individualized style. I prioritize strengths-based strategies and client empowerment to help each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.
