Bloom Speech and Language Therapy, PLLC opened in 2023 and is owned by Sam Gawthrop — a pediatric speech language pathologist with years of experience working in private practice, public school, and private school settings. This speech therapy practice was started in order to serve the Gallatin and Hendersonville communities in Tennessee who suffer from a shortage of speech therapists and long waitlists.

At Bloom Speech and Language Therapy, your child’s comfortability and care are the top priority. Children who have good rapport and “buy in” with their therapist tend to progress more quickly. With speech therapy taking place in your home or in the community, the treatment is truly individualized and so functional for improving your child’s communication in the settings they frequent the most. Parents are encouraged to participate in sessions in order to promote carryover.

For those outside of the Gallatin/Hendersonville area, online therapy is also offered. This allows for flexibility of scheduling and your child remaining comfortable in their home environment. With teletherapy experience that dates back to pre-pandemic, Sam is confident in her ability to provide speech therapy services via teletherapy and build trusting relationships with her clients even from hundreds of miles away.
