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.
