Overview
Imagine starting each morning knowing that the work ahead of you will quite literally change someone's life. As a Speech Language Pathologist in Frisco, Texas, you'll step into a role that goes far beyond clinical practice. You'll become a bridge between silence and expression, between frustration and confidence, between isolation and genuine human connection. From helping a young child speak their first sentence to guiding a stroke survivor back to meaningful conversation, every day here carries weight, warmth, and purpose.
This position offers a rich and varied caseload spanning pediatric through geriatric populations in a primarily outpatient environment with occasional inpatient support. Whether your clinical heart beats for early language development, adult neurogenic disorders, swallowing rehabilitation, or cognitive-linguistic therapy, you'll find a professional home where your skills are celebrated and your growth is actively supported.
What You'll Be Doing
- Conduct thorough evaluations across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations using both standardized tools and nuanced clinical observation.
- Design individualized, goal-directed treatment plans that address each patient's unique short- and long-term needs across communication, cognition, voice, fluency, and swallowing.
- Deliver focused, one-on-one speech therapy sessions rooted in evidence-based practice and patient-centered care.
- Partner with a multidisciplinary team including occupational therapists, physical therapists, physicians, nursing staff, and family caregivers to ensure seamless, coordinated care.
- Educate patients and their families with practical strategies to extend therapeutic progress beyond clinic walls.
- Support inpatient evaluations and interventions as needed, ensuring no gap in continuity along the care continuum.
- Complete thorough, timely clinical documentation in alignment with state, federal, and organizational compliance requirements.
- Pursue ongoing professional development through continuing education, peer mentorship, and engagement with emerging research in the field.

- Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY) completion or active enrollment for those not yet holding ASHA certification.
Licensure and Certifications
- Active Texas state licensure as a Speech Language Pathologist.
- ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) strongly preferred.
- Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required within 30 days of hire.
Skills and Strengths
- Solid command of evidence-based intervention strategies for acquired and developmental speech, language, and swallowing disorders across the lifespan.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to connect meaningfully with patients, families, and fellow clinicians alike.
- Cultural and linguistic sensitivity, with the ability to tailor therapy approaches to diverse backgrounds and communication needs.
- Sharp clinical reasoning and adaptive problem-solving under real-world conditions.
- Comfort and efficiency with electronic medical records platforms and clinical documentation standards.
Benefits That Support You Beyond the Clinic
- Highly competitive compensation package reflective of your experience and expertise.
- Flexible scheduling designed to encourage work-life balance without sacrificing caseload depth.

- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage.
- Continuing education reimbursement and dedicated professional development pathways.
- A genuinely collaborative workplace culture that values every voice on the team.
A Role That Resonates on Every Level
This isn't a job where you clock in, work through a list, and clock out. This is the kind of role where you'll replay moments from your day on the drive home, not because they stressed you, but because they moved you. A child finally saying "mama." A retired teacher reading aloud for the first time since her stroke. A teenager who laughs again during a session instead of shutting down. These are the moments that define a career in speech pathology, and here, you'll collect them often.
You'll be surrounded by clinicians who genuinely care, a leadership team that listens, and an organizational culture that believes the quality of a patient's care is directly tied to the wellbeing of the people providing it. Here, collaboration isn't a buzzword; it's baked into how every day runs.
