There is no better speech therapist than Miss Amanda! Period. Her thoughtful, high energy, and relatable personality truly has helped our son with his speech, as well as his confidence to have conversations. As a parent, it can be a bit overwhelming as far as where to start when you have a child with needs you can’t “fix” yourself. From the first appointment, our son instantly connected, listened, and trusted Miss Amanda. She makes each session fun and our son looks forward to seeing her for his appointments. Her work has helped him as an individual, as well as us as a family by providing at home tools to use on a daily basis. I highly recommend Miss Amanda to any and all who have speech needs!

We had such a wonderful experience at Thrive Pediatric Therapy and cannot recommend them enough. Miss Jess was my daughter’s speech therapist, and she went above and beyond…From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Miss Amanda, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and approachable, and you can truly feel how much she cares about every child and family. I also loved watching how all of the therapists interacted with each child as they came in—it was so genuine, patient, and joyful. The overall feeling every time we visited was simply, we’re being taken care of here, and everyone is welcome. We are beyond happy that we chose Thrive Pediatric Therapy and are so grateful for the care our daughter received. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been working with this speech therapy office, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about both her speech therapist and the entire team. From day one, they have been incredibly neuroaffirming—meeting her exactly where she is, celebrating her strengths, and creating a space where she feels safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Her therapist is remarkably compassionate, patient, and caring. She takes the time to connect with my daughter in a way that honors her individuality and makes therapy something she looks forward to, which is no small feat. The progress we’ve seen is amazing, but what has meant even more is how respected and empowered my daughter feels during every session.The whole office staff is warm, welcoming, and truly invested in the well-being of the families they serve. They go above and beyond to make the process smooth and to ensure kids are treated with kindness and dignity.

Both of our children’s speech therapists at Thrive have been exceptional. We had tried other services before, but none met our expectations—until we found Thrive. When our son and daughter began therapy, they each had limited vocabularies and struggled to pronounce many of the words they did know. In just a few months, their vocabularies have expanded dramatically, and their speech has become clear and easy to understand. Our daughter, who has always been quite shy, has shown especially remarkable progress—she’s now more confident, expressive, and eager to talk with others. The therapists have been incredible not only with our children, but also in helping us navigate insurance. We give Thrive a full 5 out of 5 stars. If we could give more, we absolutely would—consider this a 6 out of 5. These “doctors of the thesaurus” are worth every star.

Our daughter has had Miss Amanda as her SLP since she was three years old. She went from being non-verbal and frustrated with an inability to communicate to a completely flourishing, verbal five-year-old. It has been a beautiful experience to witness our daughter shed limitations with the kind, enthusiastic, and extremely talented Miss Amanda to guide her.
Amy S., Marlton NJ
Ms. Amanda is a phenomenal speech therapist. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient. She has always made me feel like a collaborative partner in my son’s therapy, teaching us things that we can work on at home and explaining the “why’s” of therapy. She has created a bond with him and one of his favorite weekly activities is going to “play” with Ms. Amanda. It’s been an amazing experience working with someone who cheers on your kid just as much as you!
Katie T., Mt. Laurel NJ
My daughter started here at just shy of 2 years old. The progress I’ve seen in her in less than a year is nothing short of amazing! She loves her Miss Jess! I cannot put into words how much we love this practice! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Karlee W., National Park NJ
If I could give 100 stars, I would. I feel so fortunate to have discovered Ms. Amanda and Thrive Pediatric Therapy. We had two children go to Thrive for speech services. It is the best decision I have ever made for my children, so far. At Thrive, everyone is extremely knowledgable, and I appreciated always learning new skills or activities to do at home to help our kids along with their speech development. It is because of these services that my kids literally found their voice, and I am forever grateful.

My son only had about 25 words after coming out of the NJ early intervention program at age 3 and communicated primarily in grunts and pointing. Soon after he started seeing Miss Amanda, his vocabulary absolutely blossomed — including finally saying his name for the first time! The progress he made in his biweekly visits with her was truly amazing. We moved out of the area, but we still miss her so much!

Amanda helped my son feel more confident when speaking. His pronunciation and speech clarity has improved so much since having her as his SLP. She has always made him feel comfortable and was able to see a change in his speech in just a few short sessions. I can’t say enough good things about Miss Amanda!
Kory W., Vincenza Italy
My son has been seeing Miss Amanda for about 2 months and the progress that he has made has been amazing. When he started with Miss Amanda my son knew a handful of words at the most. After only 2 weeks of speech therapy my son was able to answer yes and no questions, which was a huge step for us. Now, after only 2 short months, my son is able to say 2-3 word sentences. Miss Amanda makes speech therapy a fun and comfortable experience for everyone involved.

I reached out to Amanda because of my concern with the rotation of speech teachers in [my son’s] school. Let me tell you, my experience working with her has been nothing but positive and a dream come true for us…My 4 year old stays engaged for the entire session and making leaps and bounds with each visit…If you are looking for private speech, Amanda is definitely the perfect fit.
Colleen W., Marlton NJ
Amanda is wonderful! She is very proactive in supporting my son’s speech needs. He is nonverbal and she was quick and extremely helpful in getting him an AAC device and in navigating the transition for home and school. Highly recommend!!
Christina M.
Miss Amanda is everything we could of hoped for!…We were looking for an SLP that embraced neurodiversity and had a passion for helping families. Miss Amanda exceeded our expectations. She did not start by trying to identify problems, but by listening to our concerns. She took the time to develop a connection with our son and has created a fun, warm, and enjoyable language experience for him where he can truly be himself.

Amanda is an amazing speech therapist! She worked with my son for years and we love the relationship they built. She’s wonderful at getting to know her clients and tailoring her lessons to their unique interests. She is so patient and kind. In fact, after we were relocated (military family), we continued virtual therapy with her. Amanda is so special, knowledgable, and kind, we just could not say goodbye!
