Meet Brandi
Brandi Simmons, MS CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist, Owner
Believe it or not, I knew I wanted to be an SLP since third grade after watching the movie “The Miracle Worker.” Since then I have dedicated myself to becoming the best SLP I can be. My extensive experience includes 8 years working with adults at a hospital in the Shenandoah Valley Area and almost 14 years working with students ages 2-22 in local schools.
I wanted to continue serving my community by opening my own private practice to increase access to services for families. While schools provide excellent academic support, sometimes children need a little extra help beyond the school setting. I have repeatedly heard the struggles of parents to find outside speech therapy their child can receive without long waiting lists, and I feel called to bridge that gap. Simmons Speech Therapy exists to help children in early intervention, Pre-K and elementary school achieve their communication goals in a functional, engaging way.

I believe that communication is a basic human right. I love the saying, “I have ways of making you talk” because it is my passion to meet each client where they are and support their communication with evidence-based strategies that meet their unique needs. I am constantly striving to learn and grow as a neurodiversity affirming therapist and love to target therapy goals by utilizing play-based and literacy-based approaches. Building relationships with clients and their families is a key to client progress, and it brings me great joy to form strong connections through the power of communication.
I graduated from James Madison University with my B.S. and went on to receive my M.S. from Longwood University in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I grew up in Virginia and have seized opportunities to live in Utah, California, Florida, Connecticut, Arizona, Texas, and now Waldorf, Maryland. When I’m not being an SLP, you can find me with my husband, Thomas, and our spoiled mini poodle named Dunkin Donuts (Can you tell I really love sweets?). I enjoy taking long walks with Dunkin, exercising, and visiting different beaches. I look forward to getting to know each other more as we embark on this journey together!
