Susan Doherty, MA, CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech Therapist

Hi, I’m Susan, speech-language pathologist and founder of Moxie Speech Therapy LLC. I’m also a mom to two school-aged daughters, and like many parents, I’ve navigated the process of seeking support for both of my children at different stages of their development. 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.

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 the school system. That passion led me back to graduate school and into a career that combines 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 those who use AAC.

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 in everyday life.

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.
