Our Team

The Buchel Speech & Language Group has a team of experienced clinicians that work together to offer services to clients of all ages. Each member of our team focuses on different areas of practice, letting us match you with someone who will be the best possible fit for your individual needs. We believe that as clinicians, it is not enough to have general speech-language pathology experience – but that it is important to know specific areas of practice in depth.

We also know that getting the best possible results for our clients means offering services that are based on current research and clinical approaches. All of our team members participate in regular continuing education to deepen their clinical knowledge. Some also develop and deliver talks and educational sessions for other heath care providers and the public, rooted in their own clinical experience.

You can learn more about each of the clinicians at the Buchel Speech & Language Group below, or contact us directly for more information. If we do not feel we are the right fit for your needs, we would be happy to refer to another healthcare provider within a network of respected clinicians that we have developed over years of practice.
