Hallie is joined by Ashley Cubberly and Eddie Brown from Brown Cub Speech to discuss how to navigate conversations in stuttering therapy.
On this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie interviews Ashley and Eddie from Brown Cub Speech, a dynamic speech-language pathology team focused on stuttering therapy. Ashley, a pediatric SLP based in Kentucky, discusses her journey in working with children who stutter and her efforts in leading support groups and providing professional education. Eddie, a PhD candidate in speech pathology at the University of Tennessee, shares his unique perspective as both a clinician and a person who stutters. Together, they emphasize the importance of building trust, community engagement and the need for a bottom-up therapeutic approach, which prioritizes clients’ emotional experiences. They also discuss their upcoming professional development retreat, where they’ll share practical tools for SLPs to support clients more effectively.
Introduction to Brown Cub Speech Ashley's Pediatric Practice Eddie’s Dual Perspective Bottom-Up Approach Community and Connection Therapeutic Tools and Trust-BuildingUpcoming Retreat
Bullet Points to Discuss:Here’s what we learned:
Eddie’s life as a person who stutters gives him insight into clients’ needs beyond typical fluency goals. Engaging with stuttering communities enriches therapy by exposing clients to real-world challenges and shared experiences. Therapy benefits from addressing emotions and self-perception, not just fluency skills. Balancing goals between clients, families, and educators is key to creating meaningful progress. Integrating counseling into therapy helps clients open up, address deep-seated fears, and build resilience.

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, we chat with Elise Mitchell, the founder of the Therapy Support Network, who shares her journey from burnout to thriving as an independent contractor. Elise, who graduated from Missouri State University in 2013 with an M.S. CCC-SLP, initially spent six years working for virtual staffing companies. She took on various roles, including an SLP, school salesperson, and manager.
However, after years of managing virtual services and dealing with provider management, Elise experienced burnout and low job satisfaction, prompting her to stay away from the school staffing industry. It was then that an unexpected opportunity to directly contract with a school presented itself. Elise found a renewed passion for working with schools, but this time as an independent contractor rather than an employee, allowing her to fully enjoy her work and maximize her career potential.
In 2019, Elise established The Therapist Support Network with the mission of equipping school-based SLP, OT, and PT contractors with essential resources, a supportive community, and ongoing assistance. She developed key tools such as “The School Contractor Packet,” “School Contractor Training,” and "The School Staffing Packet and Training."
