To grow a community where every child’s voice is nurtured, every caregiver feels empowered, and every family thrives. Rooted in connection, communication, & care.
Our Vision:
Hi there! We’re Emily and Jenna - two speech therapists, moms, and friends who are passionate about helping little voices grow. We started Sprout Therapy Co. because we believe in creating a fun, supportive space where kids can thrive and families feel empowered every step of the way.
Our approach is playful, child-led, and rooted in connection. We love working with families right here in Quincy, IL to help kids grow strong roots through meaningful communication. Whether you child is just starting to talk or needs extra support, we’re here to cheer you on, celebrate the small wins, and make therapy something your child looks forward to.
About Sprout Therapy Co.
Meet Jenna
Hey there! I’m Jenna, speech therapist, wife, mom to two little girls, and co-owner of Sprout Therapy Co.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Missouri State University and my graduate degree from Truman State University. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children in school settings and also have experience working with adults, which has given me an appreciation for communication across every stage of life.
My passion is working with children and their families through play-based, engaging therapy that helps kids build confidence and develop meaningful communication skills.
I live in Quincy with my husband, Ryan, our two daughters, and our dog, Remi. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and going on walks with our pup.
I’m so thankful to be part of your child’s communication journey!

Meet Gracie
Gracie Jones, M.S., CF-SLP
Hi! I’m Gracie, speech therapist clinical fellow and part of the Sprout Therapy Co. team!
I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Western Illinois University. I’m so excited to work with children and families at Sprout and help support kids as they grow their communication skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Outside of work, you can find me baking, reading, and planning my upcoming wedding!
Jenna & Emily met at Truman State University in graduate school and dreamed of building something that would make a difference in our community. Sprout Therapy Co. is the fruit of that dream, and we’re so glad you’re here.
