Welcome to Sweet Pea Therapy Group
Late Talkers • Speech Disorders • Stuttering • Autism
Welcome to Sweet Pea Therapy Group, where our mission is to build connections for children through play-based and compassionate speech and language therapy. We provide speech therapy services throughout Hendersonville and Asheville, NC and surrounding areas for children ages 2-10 in the comfort of your home or daycare/preschool setting.
We believe in having fun while learning, which means we use toys, games, and other activities that spark your child's interests to inspire them to build new skills. We are here to guide families through their child’s journey of communication development and help every "Sweet Pea" blossom into their full potential.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy will help your child learn how to say sounds and words with more accuracy so they can share their ideas, wants, and needs with confidence.
To help your child develop age-appropriate speech skills, we often incorporate books, games, and toys into our sessions.
Following each session, we will share feedback about your child’s progress and guidance on what strategies to work on at home.
autism & social skills
Social skills therapy helps your child learn how to interact and communicate with others in a way that honors who they are.
In our sessions, we work on skills such as asking and answering questions, back-and-forth conversation, and taking turns using stories, games, and interactive play.
At Sweet Pea Therapy Group, our goal is for your child to build the social skills needed to connect with others and participate in daily activities with confidence and ease.
Language Therapy
Language therapy helps your child understand and use words to communicate and connect with others.
In our sessions, we often use stories and activities like crafts, coloring, or playing with toys to build in natural ways to model and practice new language skills.
Our goal at Sweet Pea Therapy Group is for your child to develop the language skills needed to participate in everyday activities with confidence and joy.
Speech Therapy for stuttering
Speech therapy for stuttering helps your child communicate with ease, focusing on healthy communication rather than achieving perfect fluency.
In our sessions, we create a relaxed environment. We will help your child learn speech strategies while also encouraging positive attitudes toward stuttering.
Our goal is for your child to feel confident communicating, knowing that what they have to say is important, not how they say it.
Meet Your Speech Therapist
Emily McCallister, MA, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Welcome! I am Emily McCallister, a speech therapist with over two decades of experience working with children in public schools and private therapy. I specialize in early intervention and speech therapy for children with communication disorders or delays.
I founded Sweet Pea Therapy Group in Henderson County to make a difference in your child's life. My approach is to help your child develop important communication skills through play and stories.
As a mother of three, I understand that life is busy! That is why I offer mobile speech therapy services at your home or at your child’s school or daycare throughout Henderson County, NC.
Outside of work, I enjoy family time with my husband, three children, and dogs. I love exploring North Carolina, cooking, gardening, and learning to play golf.
