Hello

My Story

Hi there, I'm Matthew Innes (he/him), and I'm passionate about helping people communicate effectively and confidently. My journey in speech therapy began with a solid academic foundation, including a BA in modern languages and literatures from Kenyon College and an MS in communication sciences and disorders from Teachers College, Columbia University.

​

Over the past 12 years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages as an educator, tutor, and speech therapist. My experience spans children, adolescents, and adults, and I've tackled a wide range of challenges, from articulation to literacy to social communication.

​

What drives me in my work is the belief that every individual is unique, with their own strengths and needs. That's why I take a personalized approach to speech therapy, collaborating closely with my clients and their families to tailor my methods to their specific requirements. By harnessing their interests and passions, I make therapy sessions not only effective but also engaging and enjoyable.

One of the things I pride myself on is my ability to craft interventions and strategies that resonate with my clients' interests. Whether it's incorporating hobbies or exploring new avenues together, I'm dedicated to making the learning process meaningful and exciting.

​

Outside of my professional life, I'm always pursuing new interests and hobbies. From photography to languages to literature, I thrive on learning and creative endeavors. Recently, I've even ventured into building an electric bike and delving into the world of Python coding. My diverse interests not only enrich my own life but also inspire and energize my interactions with my speech therapy clients.

​

Ultimately, my goal is to help individuals unlock their full potential and embrace the power of communication. With my expertise, empathy, and innovative approach, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve. Let's embark on this journey together!
