Speech-Language Pathologist
Ashley Zieglar M.A., CCC-SLP
Founder and SLP
After years of working in the schools, I realized I wanted more time to truly partner with families. I wanted the opportunity to answer every question, celebrate every milestone, and create therapy plans based on each family's needs. I created Root & Rise to provide a more personal, connected therapy experience where families feel supported every step of the way. One of my favorite parts of being a speech therapist is seeing a child's face light up when they are able to express their wants and needs, and connect with others.
