Garvey Speech Therapy, PLLC

I'm Sarah Garvey, a licensed speech-language pathologist with over nine years of experience helping children, adults, and families build meaningful communication skills. I hold a Master's degree from Northwestern University and am certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CCC-SLP). My approach is relationship-based and neurodiversity-affirming. I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative, personalized, and woven into everyday life. I work with a range of clients, including nonspeaking and multimodal communicators, autistic individuals, and those with motor-speech, language, or executive functioning challenges, using play-based strategies and close partnership with families and caregivers. Beyond direct client care, I've taught graduate coursework at Northwestern, presented at ASHA's National Conference, and trained in specialized approaches like LAMP Words for Life, TouchChat, and Meaningful Speech. I'm passionate about helping every client find their authentic voice.
