Hi! I'm Ashley Paxton M.S. CCC-SLP
I'm a speech-language pathologist (SLP) with over 10 years of experience helping people communicate and find their voice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings: including early intervention, public and charter schools, clinics, and teletherapy.
I like to say I started my teletherapy journey before it became the norm, and I absolutely love it! Virtual sessions allow me to connect with clients in meaningful, flexible, and effective ways, no matter where they are.
I earned my B.S. in Communication Sciences & Disorders from Biola University in 2013 and my M.S. from Chapman University in 2016. I'm licensed to practice in California, Texas, and Idaho and hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
​
Outside of my work as an SLP, I’m a wife and a mom to two boys who keep life full and fun. Our family also includes a miniature dachshund named Harry who loves to participate in the annual dachshund race. He is my unofficial "assistant" while working. When I’m not in therapy sessions, you’ll usually find me with a hot cup of tea, a good book, listening to a podcast, or working on an oil painting.
I believe great therapy starts with genuine connection. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel understood, encouraged, and empowered as they work toward their communication goals.
What Makes My
Practice Different?
My private practice is built around one clear goal: delivering effective, engaging, evidence-based speech therapy, through teletherapy. Professionaly, I have specialized in Fluency Disorders and Speech Sound Disorders. In fact, I’m proud to have a 100% success rate in remediating R!
Every session is tailored to the individual, with a balance of fun and focus. I use interactive games to keep clients motivated, while maximizing speech productions and progress. Behind the scenes, my approach is grounded in proven methods like minimal pairs, multiple oppositions, and the cycles approach.
​
For adults, sessions are thoughtful, practical, and person-centered, blending cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), avoidance reduction therapy for stuttering (ARTS), and mindfulness. I want to know all about your dreams and goals! My holistic approach is largely focused on the cognitive-emotional aspect of stuttering.
I believe that you can still be an effective communicator and stutter.
Families are kept informed and involved every step of the way, because progress happens faster when we work as a team. Whether you're across town or across the state, I'm here to help your child speak more clearly and confidently, from the comfort of home.
Virtual Speech, Telespeech,Teletherapy…
Whatever you call it, many families are choosing speech therapy via telepractice and here’s why:
Convenience
As a parent, I know how busy life is with kids! Telepractice allows your child to receive speech services in the comfort of your home. It allows you to listen in on their sessions and be an active participant. There’s neither a long commute nor an uncomfortable waiting room. Quality speech services delivered to your child in the comfort of your home!
Limiting Barriers
Whether you live in a rural area, work full-time, have a packed schedule, or your local clinic has a six month waiting list, there are many barriers that prevent families from receiving speech therapy services. That’s why I started this practice, to serve families in need today!
Research Supports Effectiveness:
Research confirms that telepractice is as effective as in-person speech therapy. Just take a look at these studies!
