Who We Are

Megan is a Speech-Language Pathologist who received both her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from The University of Virginia. She is a member of the American Speech- Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) and holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). Megan, a third generation educator, served as a Project Coordinator at the UVA Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences before returning to graduate school to pursue a degree in Communication Disorders.  She has experience working with children and adults with varying diagnoses and neurotypes,  specializing in Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity, Expressive/Receptive Language, Social Communication, in private clinics, public and private schools, and acute care/rehabilitation hospitals.  

While at the University of Virginia, she had the pleasure of working under Dr. Amori Mikami in the Peer Relationships and ADHD Lab, which sparked her passion for working with this population.  In her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist, Megan was fortunate to spend eight years at the Keswick School, a special education therapeutic boarding school for boys ages 9-18 with a variety of complex social-emotional and learning needs.  Her time serving as the Director of Related Services in this intensive interdisciplinary environment solidified her career path in serving those with ADHD, Autism, and mental health disorders, along with their families.  She learned that supporting the client in a wrap around, collaborative model is crucial to lasting impact and change for the family unit as a whole.  

She is endorsed in Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (Vital Stim) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES), and has engaged in extensive post-graduate training in Social Communication and Executive Functioning, meeting the criteria for ADHD-Certified Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS).   She developed and directs the Blue Ridge Social Club, and provides services to clients for social communication and executive skill development at Crozet Speech and Learning Center.  

Her client and family centered practice focuses on strengthening executive functions and social cognitive communication skills to enhance independence, promote better relationships, and improve quality of life across contexts.  In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors on her farm with her twin sons, husband, and animals.

Megan founded The SEED Collective to share her passion for development of social communication and executive skills,  provide a place for play and community, and to help implement functional strategies for clients with unique learning styles in direct collaboration with other professionals, creating true wrap around services.  

Ione (She/Her) recently completed her degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Vanderbilt University, and will be pursuing licensure in the state of Virginia as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She interned at Mindful Nashville, serving clients 10 - 55 years of age.  

She received her undergraduate degree at Washington College and spent the following years working as the Support Counselor at The Keswick School, a therapeutic boarding school for boys facing a range of challenges and diagnoses. She has spent her summers working for Wediko Children’s Services, a therapeutic summer camp, in various leadership roles. Most recently she worked as a Clinical Supervisor creating a safe, fun environment for a group of 13-year-old boys. She continues to support Camp Wediko in a consultant role helping with staff admissions, training, and more. She is grateful to have learned from so many exceptional mentors and clinicians who have helped carve a path for her in the mental health field.

Ione specializes in serving youth, adolescents, young adults, and parents who are facing a range of challenges. She has specific expertise in working with adolescents and their families experiencing externalizing behaviors, aggression, school disruptions, ADHD symptoms, verbal aggression, anxiety, Situational Mutism, and emotional dysregulation. Her most recent internship site provided her extensive experience with young adult clients who have experienced significant life events, traumatic experiences, or are feeling lost and confused trying to navigate the transition to adulthood. 

Ione utilizes a person-centered approach, incorporating techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and humanistic beliefs to inspire growth and acceptance in those she works with. She has completed Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Experiences (SPACE) training, and has experience with Parent-Child Interaction Training.  She approaches her clients with grace, patience, a healthy dose of humor, and an unwavering understanding that every person deserves to be heard.   She is excited and honored to be back in central VA, a very special place to her, and to have the opportunity to serve these populations and the Charlottesville community.

Tracy is trained in the Early Childhood Coaching Model, which allows her to educate caregivers and other significant adults in a child’s life, ensuring that progress extends beyond the therapy room. She also has specialized training in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) and the PROMPT technique (Levels 1 & 2), which addresses motor speech difficulties and helps children improve overall intelligibility.  Tracy is also trained in the Social Thinking Curriculum, and she is currently completing her training to be an ADHD Certified Provider.

Tracy’s approach to speech-language therapy is holistic, incorporating elements of mental health, executive functioning, and language development. Her extensive training and years of experience allow her to create tailored, individualized plans that meet the unique needs of each child she works with.

When she’s not working, Tracy enjoys DIY projects around her home and spending quality time with her husband, three children, and their dog, Monticello, while exploring all that Charlottesville has to offer.
