Southards, M.S., CCC-SLP
Elizabeth Southards, M.S., CCC-SLP, began her career as a speech-language pathologist in 2016, working in public school, private school, and clinical settings. Although she has had the privilege of working with clients across the lifespan, Elizabeth has worked extensively with adolescent and young adult populations. As communication demands evolve from childhood into adulthood, Elizabeth values helping clients navigate this transition with greater confidence and independence.
Elizabeth’s experience encompasses a wide variety of developmental and acquired speech, language, and voice disorders, and her clinicalinterests include social communication challenges and fluency disorders.
Elizabeth takes a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to assessment and treatment; her experience collaborating with families and professionals in medical, educational, and therapeutic settings helps support comprehensive, whole-person care. Elizabeth’s mission as an SLP is to improve people’s quality of life through better communication. She values the uniqueness of each client and is committed to providing thoughtful, individualized evaluation and treatment.
Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and church community. She also enjoys arts and crafts, teaching and playing the violin, walking through parks and neighborhoods, and attending animal-related events and exhibitions.
