SPEECH-Language Pathologist, owner
Erin L. Smith-Schultz, MS CCC-SLP
Hello. Whether I’m working with a child or an adult patient, I feel like I am doing what I was meant to do in life and I truly enjoy my profession. Its my personal goal to challenge my clients to reach their full potential and have some fun doing it.
I received a Bachelor of Science from Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD (Go Wolves!!!) and a Master of Science from the University of WI - Eau Claire. My post graduate certifications include LSVT LOUD, VitalStim, PROMPT Intro and PROMPT Bridging trained; SwallowSTRONG, Dementia Care Specialist Trained, Treatment in Tethered Oral Tissue, Sensory-Motor Feeding, and Oral Placement Therapy. I am always eager to continue learning!!
I was born and raised in Tulare, South Dakota, which boasts a population of 200 people. This is where I developed a great respect for simple hardworking people. I enjoy sports, a healthy competition, and often cheer for the underdog. Family is very important to me and I love my role as “Auntie.” In my free time I enjoy exploring the outdoors, gardening, refinishing furniture, a good run, cooking, and tackling new DIY projects.
I never desired to own a business, but Professional Speech Therapist, llc has been nothing short of a gift. A gift that is meant for the benefit of others.
How can we help you?

Hi, I’m Natalie! I was born and raised in Monroe, WI, very close to the Illinois border.

We love living in the forest and exploring the area with our son and 4 dogs. I received my undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders at UW-Eau Claire. That has allowed me to work at becoming an ASHA certified SLP Assistant. I am also continuing my education at UWEC as a student in their SLP graduate program.
