Our story
Personal, bilingual care for South Florida families
Thrive Speech and Language Therapy was created to give South Florida families something that can be hard to find: personal, bilingual speech and language care that treats each child as an individual — never a number on a caseload.
Care here is evidence-based, family-centered, and individualized, delivered in English, Spanish, or both — whatever language your family is most comfortable in — with a focus on building real communication skills that help children connect and succeed in everyday life.
Our mission is to provide warm, individualized, bilingual speech and language therapy that helps children grow and gives families confidence. Our vision is a South Florida where every child — in any language — has the support they need to communicate, connect, and thrive.

Hi, I'm Danna
Danna Mejia, M.S., CCC-SLP — Owner & Speech-Language Pathologist
I’m a Florida-licensed, bilingual (English/Spanish) speech-language pathologist and the owner of Thrive. I earned both my Bachelor’s in Health Sciences (minor in Psychology) and my Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Florida Atlantic University, with clinical training at FAU and Baptist Health Outpatient Clinic.
Across school and clinic settings, I’ve worked with children and teens with a range of communication needs — speech sound disorders (articulation, phonological disorders, and childhood apraxia of speech), expressive and receptive language delays and disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and social and pragmatic language challenges — all in English, Spanish, or both.
I chose speech-language pathology because I love working with children and helping them build the communication skills they need to connect with others and express themselves — and because I value partnering with families and celebrating the progress and confidence that come along the way.
Credentials: M.S., Communication Sciences & Disorders (FAU) · Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) · Licensed in Florida.
