While we're all about children at Chatterbox, this page is all about us.
Chatterbox Speech and Language Clinic was founded with one purpose in mind - to build confidence in children. Whether to make new friends on the playground or to do amazing things later in life, it all starts with your child communicating effectively. Sprinkle in a fun environment, progressive learning tools, highly skilled and caring professionals and you have a recipe for confidence, which leads to success. And it all starts with our therapists.
While growing up just outside of St. Louis in Belleville, IL, Molly attended the all-girls high school Cor Jesu Academy. It was there during a local volunteer activity that she realized she wanted to be a pediatric speech-language pathologist. With a strong family support system – loving parents, an older sister and younger brother – she was encouraged to experience college far enough away that she couldn’t drive home on a whim.
That led Molly to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX where she majored in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Despite TCU still a few years away from college football prominence, she spent four incredible years arguably getting to know every single student on campus and shaping her values for the rest of her life. She immediately fell in love with pediatric speech therapy after working in an undergraduate clinic and graduated as a Horned Frog Alumni in 2000.
Molly then attended Massachusetts General Hospital-Institute of Health Professions in Boston, currently ranked the #7 Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program in the country by U.S. News and World Report. It was there that she used her passion and access to some of the top Harvard educators to begin the journey of becoming an expert in several pediatric speech disciplines including Late Talkers, Receptive and Expressive Language delays and disorders, Articulation, Apraxia of Speech and more. She graduated with a Master’s +30 degree in 2002.
After graduate school, Molly moved to Atlanta and completed a fellowship year with Cobb County Schools, exposing her to dozens of speech disorders and furthering her passion for her field. She then spent the next 11 years working for a private speech and occupational therapy practice and honing her skills as a leading area therapist. During that time, she developed a broad range of specialties, among but not limited to, late talkers and articulation issues (she has been called the “R-Queen” more than once).
Molly founded Chatterbox Speech and Language Clinic in the Atlanta Buckhead area to continue her daily practice while developing other young therapists who share her passion and excitement in working with children and their families.
Molly lives in Roswell with her husband, two children and their dog Moxie (her toughest speech client). When not debating the merits of TCU’s football team versus her husband’s beloved Florida Gators, Molly and her family enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, laughing loudly and doing what Molly was born to do…chatting.
