Speech Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
-
We accept Medicaid plans for speech therapy services. We are currently in-network with several Medicaid-managed care organizations. If you're unsure whether your specific plan is accepted, please contact our office — we’re happy to verify your coverage and help guide you through the next steps in getting started.
-
You can schedule an appointment by calling/texting us at (757) 260-5507 for Virginia clients or (678) 338-8012 for Georgia clients. You can also email us at mindfulcommunicationgroup@gmail.com or click here to schedule using the client portal.
-
Most clients are scheduled within one week of completing the required intake forms and insurance verification. Appointments are scheduled with the therapist who has open availability at the time, based on your location and preferred service format (in-person or virtual). Once your paperwork is received, our team will contact you promptly to offer the next available appointment.
-
Coverage for speech therapy services varies depending on your specific insurance plan. Some insurance plans may not cover specific disorders, but may cover therapy resulting from injuries or medical events such as strokes or traumatic brain injuries. If your insurance does not cover the necessary services, or we are out of network, we offer discounted self-pay rates.
-
We provide speech therapy services in person at our Hampton office and via teletherapy throughout the state of Virginia. In Douglasville, Georgia, we also offer in-person services as well as teletherapy across Georgia.

If your child has difficulty being understood, struggles with forming sentences, pronouncing sounds/words, or has delays in communication compared to peers, they may benefit from a speech therapy evaluation.
For more guidance, click here to review the Communication Milestones provided by the American Speech-Language-Hearing-Association and see if your child is meeting expected developmental milestones.
-
Adults may benefit from speech therapy if they experience difficulty with speaking, understanding, or reading, due to conditions such as stroke, brain injury, neurological disorders, or progressive illnesses. Therapy can also help with voice changes, swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), or challenges in social communication.
If you or your loved one is experiencing any of these issues, a speech therapy evaluation can identify specific needs and recommend effective strategies for improvement. Contact us for more information or to schedule an evaluation.
-
We understand that unexpected things come up. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows us to offer the time slot to another client.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed appointments without prior communication may be subject to a cancellation fee, as outlined in our practice policies. To cancel or reschedule, please contact our office directly or message us through the client portal.
If you still have questions, feel free to reach out or email us.
