Melisa Bolling

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

Accepts 10 insurance plans

Hi! I’m Melisa. I became a speech-language pathologist because I’m passionate about helping people find their voice and build meaningful connections with others. I love supporting clients as they develop the communication skills and confidence they need to participate more fully in everyday life.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve supported individuals with a wide range of communication needs. I enjoy creating engaging, functional therapy plans that are tailored to each client’s unique strengths, goals, and daily routines. I believe therapy is most effective when it is meaningful, practical, and personalized to each individual's needs.

My therapy approach is client-centered and highly individualized. I use functional strategies that promote communication beyond the therapy room and collaborate closely with clients, families, and caregivers to support carryover into everyday life. My goal is to help every client build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and participate more fully in the activities and relationships that matter most to them.
