How Speech Therapy and Counseling Work Together to Support Families
At Well Mind Body, we believe healing and growth don’t happen in isolation. Sometimes supporting a healthy mind and body also means supporting the ways we communicate. That’s why we’re so grateful for community partners like Space City Speech, led by Courtney Scaggs, CCC-SLP, COM®.
Courtney has spent years honing her expertise across hospitals, schools, and private practices before founding Space City Speech with a clear mission: to help children become confident communicators. She built her practice with intention—grounded in kindness, grace, encouragement, and growth—and today leads a team that provides speech, language, and myofunctional therapy across Texas and New York.
What makes Space City Speech unique is its community-based model. Whether it’s at a daycare, private school, home, their office, or even virtually, Courtney and her team meet families right where they are. This flexibility helps remove barriers and ensures children and families can access the support they need in ways that fit their lives.
How Speech Therapy Complements Counseling
Not everyone who comes to therapy will also need speech therapy — but for those who do, the overlap can be powerful.
For kids, strengthening speech and language skills can boost classroom confidence, reduce frustration, and open up new ways to connect with peers.
For teens, clear communication supports healthy friendships, self-advocacy, and resilience during a time when identity and voice matter most.
For adults, improving communication can enhance relationships, reduce stress, and increase confidence at work and at home.
As therapists, we know that how we communicate shapes how we feel — about ourselves and about others. When counseling and speech therapy work hand in hand, families can feel more supported both emotionally and practically.
Why Community Partnerships Matter
At Well Mind Body, we take a whole-person approach to mental health and wellness. Having trusted partners like Space City Speech means we can connect our clients to resources that expand the circle of support.
Collaboration helps ensure families don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can help kids, teens, and adults not only build coping skills but also strengthen their ability to express themselves clearly and confidently.
