Melissa Calkins, SLP Speech Therapist

Meet Melissa — a speech-language pathologist, wife, mom, and outdoor enthusiast. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Idaho State University and has been working with children in both school and clinical settings ever since.

Helping kids find their voice is more than just her job — it’s her passion. Whether she’s supporting a child’s first words, helping them grow their confidence, or tackling tricky sounds together, Melissa strives to make therapy a positive, playful, and empowering experience.

When she’s not in the clinic or the classroom, you’ll usually find her outside — hiking, camping, or simply soaking in the peace and joy that comes with being in nature. Melissa is grateful to do this work and honored to walk alongside families as they celebrate each milestone.
