Helping little voices grow with child-led, evidence-based speech therapy — where your child's communication goals come first!

Colleen Smith, Founder of Coll the SLP

Hi, I’m Colleen!

…or as many know me, 'Coll.' I'm an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with a passion for working with kids. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Science and my Master of Science in Speech and Language Pathology from Misericordia University in 2017.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working in outpatient pediatric rehab clinics, where I gained valuable experience treating children with a variety of communication challenges. While I loved those opportunities, I've always dreamed of starting my own practice — a place where I could create a warm, child-centered space for families.

With the support of my husband, family, and friends, that dream became a reality — and that's how Coll the SLP was born!

At Coll the SLP, we believe learning happens best when it’s fun! With personalized care and a small caseload, we take time each week to plan sessions tailored to your child’s goals and interests.

Every session is one-on-one, giving your child our full attention. We also offer flexible scheduling to fit your busy life and focus on parent coaching so you can feel confident supporting your child's progress at home.
