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, mama, and lover of all things play-based! I’ve worked with kids in schools and also have experience with adults, which really helped me appreciate the power of communication at every stage of life.
These days, my heart is really in working with little ones and their families. I want therapy to be fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting for both kids and their parents. My goal is always to create a space where kids feel safe to be themselves and excited to learn.
I live in Quincy with my husband, Ryan, our sweet daughter, Claire, and our dog Remi. Outside of work, you’ll find me enjoying time with family or going on walks with our pup.
We’re so excited to work with you and your child - thanks for letting us be part of your journey!

Meet Emily
Hi! I’m Emily - speech therapist, wife, foster mom, and big believer that every child’s ability to communicate in their own way. I have a background in Early Intervention, Autism, and school-based therapy, and I absolutely love helping kids find their voice - whether that’s through an AAC device, pictures, signs, or spoken words.
I’m especially passionate about working alongside parents and caregivers. I want you to feel confident and supported because when you’re equipped, your child thrives.
I live in Quincy with my husband, Elijah, and we’re currently fostering two busy little toddlers who keep life exciting!
I can’t wait to get to know your family and help your child bloom.
