Please help us welcome Cyndi to the Speech Lab team this summer!✨

Originally from St. Louis, Cyndi has called mid-Missouri home for the past 12 years. She holds both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Central Missouri (UCM). 🎓

Cyndi brings a wide range of experience across the age span, but she especially shines when working with the littles! She has worked in schools, outpatient settings, and even dabbled in First Steps. Her specialties include speech sound disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, phonological disorders, and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). She’s passionate about helping all children find their voice—because everyone deserves one.

Outside the clinic, Cyndi enjoys life with her husband and two kids—whether it’s pool days, backyard fishing, baking, or getting lost in a good book. 📚

We’re so excited to have Cyndi with us for the summer before she returns to her role with Columbia Public Schools in the fall!💚

We are beyond excited to welcome Ceres to The Speech Lab family! 🙌

Originally from Palmyra, MO, Ceres has called Columbia home for the past 7 years. She holds both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Western Illinois University (Go Leathernecks! 🐴) and brings a wealth of experience and passion to our team.

Ceres began her SLP journey in skilled nursing, where she developed a deep appreciation for supporting elderly clients with cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders. She then transitioned to Boone Hospital’s outpatient setting—where she first connected with our very own Loren!—gaining valuable experience across all ages and building special interests in speech sound disorders, early language delays, and Parkinson’s-related therapies.

Most recently, she’s worked in private practice, splitting her time between schools and the clinic, expanding her training in Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders and Gestalt Language Processing.

When she’s not making a difference in the lives of her clients, you’ll find Ceres soaking up time with her husband and adorable one-year-old son, cooking up something tasty, cheering on the STL Blues, or diving into her next home organization project.

Help us give Ceres a big warm welcome — we’re so lucky to have her on board! 💚

From all of us at The Speech Lab, we would like to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter!

When I first opened The Speech Lab after the hospital closed in 2022, it was initially intended to be a short-term fix for my own loss of employment and to continue serving the families I was treating at that time. Since then, it has grown to become more than I ever imagined.

I now employ four wonderful local therapists and business owners, with the potential to expand to six in the coming months. We are continuously growing our reach to meet the increasing need for speech therapy in our community. Owning a building in the heart of Mexico and cementing our place in the community was never something I had even dreamed of for The Speech Lab.

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful friends, family members, colleagues, and clients who have believed in us and supported us in reaching this milestone. We are thrilled to have a dedicated space to serve our community and support our clients and families, now and in the future.

Here’s to many years ahead—stay tuned for lots of exciting changes coming!
