Susan Doherty, MA, CCC-SLP

Owner | Speech-Language Pathologist | Former School Counselor

Hi, I’m Susan, speech-language pathologist, founder of Moxie Speech Therapy, LLC, and mom to two school-aged daughters. Like many parents, I’ve navigated the process of seeking developmental and academic support for my own children. Those personal experiences have deepened my empathy, strengthened my commitment to family-centered care, and given me a meaningful understanding of what it feels like to advocate for your child within complex systems.

Before becoming an SLP, I spent five years as a school counselor, where I discovered my true passion: helping children with communication challenges thrive, both in their daily lives and within school environments. That passion led me back to graduate school and into a career that blends my love of language, neurodiversity, advocacy, and child development.

I hold master’s degrees in both speech-language pathology and school counseling, and earned my SLP degree from the University of Colorado Boulder. I’ve worked in a variety of educational and therapeutic settings, including early intervention, where I support infants and toddlers in building foundational communication skills. I work with children of all ages with a range of communication needs, including speech sound disorders, language delays, fluency challenges, autism, and AAC use.

My approach is holistic and family-centered. I love partnering with parents and caregivers, not only to support their child’s communication, but also to empower them with tools and strategies to advocate for their child’s needs across home, school, and community settings.

Outside of work, I’m happiest spending time with friends and family. I love listening to live music, snowboarding, hiking, and camping with my husband, our two daughters, and our dogs, Lucky and Gus.
