Courtney Crooks, M.S. CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Owner of Thriveable Therapies

Courtney is a skilled therapist specializing in children's communication and feeding development, with extensive experience in working with children ages birth to 21 in clinic, school, and teletherapy settings. She has advanced training in pediatric feeding and swallowing, including certification in the Beckman Oral Motor Protocol, the SOS Approach to Feeding, various other pediatric and infant feeding coursework, and orofacial myofunctional therapy. She also has specialized knowledge and experience in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and she knows that with AAC every child can find their voice.

Passionate about helping children reach their full potential, Courtney works closely with families and designs customized therapy sessions to maximize progress.

Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, reading, running, painting, and spending time with her family.

Testimonials

"We love Thriveable Therapies! Our son has progressed significantly since he started working with Courtney. We work on speech, myofunctional exercises & feeding. My son loves going to see her. She’s always extremely patient, kind & innovative in her approach. We tried AAC before but never had a good experience or made progress until we started working with her. Now my son loves his AAC & finally has another way of communicating his wants/needs other than the few signs he knows. We’re so grateful that we found Courtney & have recommended her to many friends & other parents. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!"
