Cold Spring Speech Therapy

Lauren at Cold Spring Speech Therapy has been amazing to work with. She was engaging, kind, and instantly made my teen feel comfortable – no small feat! I love her neurodiversity-affirming approach, which helped reframe challenges in a way that eased his anxieties and built confidence. She shared practical strategies and helped him build a real 'toolbox' of techniques for him to draw from day to day. Lauren is thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely caring — we’re so grateful for her help.

Lauren is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. When our son was a year and a half, his language comprehension was there, but he was struggling to speak. We saw results from Lauren's work instantaneously. It was almost as though he had the skills already buried and Lauren gave him the confidence to dig them out.

Lauren's approach when working with our son is professional, yet she is able to connect with him at his level and mood depending on the day they work together. As a result, our son looks forward to his visits w

We started working with Lauren last summer. My 5-year-old struggled with pronouncing multiple sounds and we had no local SLPs taking new clients. We had virtual sessions with Lauren for over 6 months and she helped advocate for school services. Lauren connected with my daughter in an enthusiastic, child-centric teaching style that helped her confidence bloom. I highly recommend using Lauren for your SLP needs.
