Meet Our Founder and Lead Speech Therapist

Allison Otting, M.A., CCC-SLP

Allison Otting, M.A., CCC-SLP, owner and speech therapist at Thrive Therapy Works

Hi, I’m Allison, a board-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 24 years of experience working in private practice, pediatric hospitals, early intervention programs, and public, private, and virtual schools.

In 2019, I founded Thrive Therapy Works with a mission to provide high-quality, virtual speech therapy services to students, families, and schools. My goal has always been to help students develop a love for learning and thrive in all aspects of their lives— at home, school, and in the community.

I believe that every child is a unique individual with strengths that deserve to be recognized and nurtured. My approach is relationship-centered, ensuring that each child feels seen, heard, and supported. As a parent myself, I also understand the importance of teamwork between therapists and families. Parents are the true experts on their children, and by working together, we can create a path for growth, confidence, and success!

I am passionate about lifelong learning and am always seeking new ways to grow and support the children that I work with. Whether collaborating with school teams, providing in-depth training for educators, partnering with parents, or working one-on-one with students, I am committed to delivering speech therapy services that are engaging, effective, and empowering.
