Meet Lauren
Speech-Language Pathologist
MS, CCC-SLP, TSSLD
Lauren Groth (she/her) brings over 10 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist. She has a diverse background working with all ages in various settings, including preschools, day treatment centers, public schools, a skilled nursing facility, and a voice specialty clinic.
Inspired by her brother, who has a developmental disability, Lauren offers a unique, compassionate perspective, understanding firsthand what it's like to be "on the other side of the table." She deeply believes that strong relationships are key to success, and clients thrive when they feel supported in trying new things. Lauren approaches every session with enthusiasm and empathy, always seeking to understand what makes each person "tick."
When not working, Lauren enjoys singing, musical theatre, reading, and art. She lives in Cold Spring, NY, with her husband, two young children, and dog.
Lauren is an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist, holding New York State Licensure in Speech-Language Pathology and a certificate as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders (with an additional major in Vocal Performance) from SUNY Geneseo, and her Master of Science in Communication Disorders and Sciences from Emerson College. She also holds specialized training in Natural Language Acquisition through Meaningful Speech and Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) for Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

Our Philosophy
Every individual deserves to communicate. In order for change to happen, clients need to feel supported and heard. By prioritizing genuine relationships and making authentic connections, we can help each person blossom to their full potential. We are neurodiversity-affirming, which means that we honor and enhance what makes neurodivergent individuals unique, rather than changing them. Instead of focusing on compliance, we use their strengths and personal interests to encourage progress that is meaningful to each individual and their family.
