Stacey Bryden, MS, CCC-SLP/L
Founder of Chatter House Therapies
Stacey Bryden (formerly Landberg) is a nationally certified and California-licensed speech-language pathologist who has dedicated her career to helping children communicate. With over 20 years of experience, Stacey is best known for her work with significant speech sound disorders and her ability to guide families through some of the most challenging and misunderstood communication journeys.
At Chatter House Therapies, Stacey’s work is grounded in the belief that every child’s voice matters—and that communication is deeply tied to self-esteem, connection, and confidence. Her approach is holistic, evidence-based, and relationship-driven, blending the science of speech-language pathology with a profound respect for the individuality of each child and family she serves.
Stacey specializes in:
- Severe speech sound disorders, including apraxia, phonological disorders, articulation, dysarthria, cleft palate, and more
- Early intervention and Earlier Intervention (ask her about Babble Bootcamp for Infants)
- Social-emotional development and supporting children’s sense of agency and joy in communication
- Differential diagnostic evaluations, including Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for children with complex speech profiles
Many families find their way to Stacey after years of trying to find the right fit—when other therapies have felt close, but not quite right. She’s known for her clinical precision, warmth, and ability to connect quickly with both children and caregivers. Other speech-language pathologists (SLPs) often consult with Stacey on their most challenging cases, and many of her clients are the children of SLPs themselves—a reflection of the trust she’s earned within the field.
Beyond her clinical work, Stacey has worked as a university lecturer who has taught and mentored graduate students in speech-language pathology, helping the next generation of clinicians build strong foundations in evidence-based practice and compassionate care. She has also trained thousands of SLPs through her online learning communities, professional development programs, and national speaking engagements. Her professional training series, Coach2Coach, has become a leading resource for early intervention providers seeking to bridge the gap between clinical skill and family coaching excellence.
As a lifelong learner and collaborator, Stacey remains deeply connected to current research and best practices in motor speech disorders, early communication development, and parent coaching. She believes that parents are the most powerful partners in a child’s progress and actively encourages parent participation during sessions—helping families feel confident, supported, and equipped to carry over strategies at home.
When her schedule is full, Stacey partners with other hand-selected clinicians who share her philosophy and commitment to excellence, ensuring that every child receives the highest level of individualized support.
At the heart of Chatter House Therapies is Stacey’s belief that communication is not just about producing sounds—it’s about being heard, understood, and connected.
