Hi! I’m Chelsea Swopes, M.S. CCC-SLP

Hi! I'm so glad you're here! My name is Chelsea. I'm a licensed and certified Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) with more than 15 years of experience helping families just like yours! I have spent my career specializing in the development of early speech and language skills. I’m also a proud wife and mom to two young children. 

When my first baby arrived 10 weeks early, I was faced with a lot of unknowns, unexpected challenges and overwhelm. Despite my education and experience, I felt so much stress and anxiety navigating her early milestones. It became clear to me that I wasn’t alone in these feelings and it became my mission to provide parents and caregivers with a space that combined education, expertise and empathy during the most important years of their child’s life. 

I founded Play Talk Love because you deserve more than just guesswork and uncertainty as you guide your child’s development.

I’ve helped thousands of families successfully nurture and navigate their child’s speech and language development. Whether you’re facing unexpected challenges, are wondering what to expect when it comes to your child’s development or you’re looking for the best ways to support your child… you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help!

My ultimate goal is to help ease your anxiety, empower you with information and give you the tools to connect, support and enjoy your child as as they develop.
