Lighthouse Speech Therapy

ABOUT DR. MELISSA PHELAN, PHD, CCC-SLP As a licensed speech-language pathologist with a Ph.D. in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, I bring both advanced training and a deep commitment to client-centered care. My evidence-based practice always blends the most recent research with client/family values and goals. Therapy is a partnership: clients and their families share insights and I apply my expertise to create solutions. Together, we ensure therapy is relevant, responsive, and focused on what matters most. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING I understand how hard it can be to fit therapy into busy lives. That’s why I offer after-school, evening, and weekend appointments. OUR SERVICES SPEECH: Speech therapy supports clients who have difficulty producing sounds correctly. We work to improve clarity, confidence, and effective communication through individualized, evidence-based techniques. LANGUAGE: Language therapy focuses on both receptive language (understanding what others say) and expressive language (using words to share thoughts, ideas, and feelings). We help clients develop the communication skills needed for everyday success—socially, academically, and beyond. LITERACY: Literacy therapy supports individuals struggling with reading, spelling, and writing. We address foundational skills like phonological awareness, decoding, comprehension, and written expression. Our goal is to make literacy a source of confidence and opportunity, not frustration.
