Speech Therapy Consulting
"CF mentorship, manageable caseloads, and a team that remembers what it's like to be new"
You're probably worried about being thrown into the deep end with no support. About looking incompetent when you don't know something. About whether you made the right career choice. Join other new SLPs who felt the same way—and found their confidence here.
Full CF supervision included. Direct hire with benefits from day one. Not a staffing agency.
Every new SLP has questions. Get our CF Program Guide with everything you need to know about starting your career here.
No pressure. Just information when you're ready for it.
You're terrified of that moment when a parent asks something and you freeze. When you should know but you don't. When everyone sees you're not ready.
You've heard the horror stories. CFs abandoned at sites with no supervision. Signing off on your own hours. Figuring it out alone.
You can see yourself drowning in paperwork. 60, 70, 80 students. No time to actually provide good therapy. Burning out before you even start.
Dr. Lisa Martinez, CCC-SLP, personally supervises all Clinical Fellows. That's not a title—it's a relationship.
Your first year isn't about surviving—it's about building genuine confidence through consistent support.
Graduate school teaches theory. We help you translate that into confident clinical practice.
Because questions don't wait until your scheduled meeting.

"I was terrified my first month. Every time I didn't know something, I thought they'd realize they made a mistake hiring me. But Dr. Martinez made it so clear—not knowing is how you learn. Now I'm training the new CF and telling her the same thing."
"My classmates took CF positions at districts with 'better salaries' but zero support. Three of them quit within a year. I'm still here, I love my job, and I just got promoted to Senior SLP. The CF cohort community changed everything for me."
"I'm 6 months into my CF year right now. Yes, I still get nervous before IEPs. But I walk into those meetings knowing exactly who to call if something goes sideways. That safety net makes all the difference. I actually look forward to coming to work."
Here's the truth: no one feels ready. That's exactly why CF supervision exists. You're not supposed to know everything. You're supposed to be learning.
The CFs who struggle aren't the ones who don't know things—they're the ones who don't have support when they need it. Our program is built around the assumption that you'll have questions, uncertainties, and moments of doubt. We've structured your entire first year around that reality.
If you're asking this question, you're already more prepared than you think. The SLPs who burn out are the ones who thought they knew everything.
You will make mistakes. Every clinician does. The question isn't whether you'll make mistakes—it's whether you'll have support when they happen.
Here's how we handle it:
Our culture is built on the idea that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. We'd rather you call us 10 times a day than struggle alone.
Here's what we do differently:
The result? Our CF completion rate is 100%. Our retention after CF year is 100%. Other positions might pay slightly more starting out, but how much does it cost to burn out after one year?
A typical week in your CF year:
What's different: You'll have planning time built into your schedule. You won't be racing between students with no break. You'll have time to actually think.
No. We understand the confusion—our name includes "Consulting."
The difference: Staffing agencies place you somewhere and disappear. You're a contractor with no benefits, no support, no investment in your success.
With us: You're a W-2 employee from day one. Full benefits, full supervision, full support. We place you at partner sites, but your employment relationship is with us. Your mentor works for us. Your career path is with us.
The "consulting" in our name describes the services we provide to schools and families—not your employment status. You're not a temp. You're a team member.
We encourage it. Part of your CF year is figuring out what you love. We have positions in both schools and clinics, and many SLPs transition between them.
During your quarterly career planning sessions, we'll talk about your interests and what settings might be a good fit. If you want to explore clinic work after your CF year, we can make that happen—you don't have to leave to try something new.
When you submit your application, our CF Program Director will reach out within 48 hours.
