Founder & Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi! I'm Mariliam Menéndez
M.S., CCC-SLP
founder of Way to Grow Therapy LLC — a bilingual speech-language pathologist with over 13 years of experience helping children in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida build communication skills and confidence.
With a background in both Psychology and Speech-Language Pathology, I take a whole-child approach to therapy. I believe communication is closely connected to a child's development, learning, behavior, and relationships, and that understanding allows me to create personalized therapy experiences that are engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each child's unique needs.
I specialize in early intervention, language delays, articulation, social skills, and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). My sessions are play-based, family-centered, and designed to help children use their communication skills in everyday life - at home, school, daycare, and in the community.
At Way to Grow Therapy, I partner closely with families to support meaningful progress and help little voices bloom. It is a privilege to be part of each child's journey as they learn, grow, and connect with the world around them.
Ready to take the first step? I'd love to connect with your family.
