Speech Language Pathologist SLP

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSpeech-Language Pathologist BreatheWorksOverviewBreatheWorks is a growing speech-language pathology practice treating patients across the lifespan—from infancy through adulthood. Our clinical model is built on one principle: when patients breathe, sleep, eat, talk, and feel better, their communication and cognitive abilities expand. We reduce barriers to care through multiple locations, telehealth access, and a treatment approach that addresses foundational physiologic factors influencing communication and learning.Breathing, sleep quality, and functional eating patterns directly shape the central nervous system as well as craniofacial development and strain patterns. When these systems are inefficient, patients often present with symptoms SLPs regularly treat—articulation challenges, receptive/expressive language delays, social communication differences, fluency issues, attention and executive function difficulties, memory concerns, behavioral challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties. Our model integrates traditional SLP intervention with targeted strategies that support these underlying drivers.We also incorporate manual therapy and myofascial release, performed in person, and teach patients self-treatment techniques to support long-term change. We offer FEES, stroboscopy, and structured mentorship to build competency in these instrumental assessments.Role SummaryAs a Speech-Language Pathologist at BreatheWorks, you will evaluate, diagnose, and treat communication (speech, language, fluency etc.), voice, swallowing, and myofunctional breathing/eating-related contributors to communication across the entire lifespan.
