Meet Angie Wilcox, M.A., CCC-SLP

I go by many names: Speech-Language Pathologist, Language-Speech Specialist, Speech Therapist, Speechie, I often get called Speech teacher; and even got Talking Doctor once. But my clients usually call me Miss Angie, and that works for me. I have always loved children and spent most of my youth trying to figure out how I could work with kids as a grown up. While I was getting my undergraduate degree, a friend’s mom told me she was going back to school to major in Communicative Sciences and Disorders. She explained that she wanted to help kids learn how to communicate more effectively. I heard, “I’ll get to play with kids and talk all day.” I was sold. I changed my major that week and never looked back. I’m so glad I did!

I now live in Thornton, Colorado with my husband Rex, our three kids Bella, Geno and Rocco and our two dogs Rigatoni and Vito. As you probably guessed, I am Italian. So, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, which I love to do. My free time is also spent at church, cheering my kids on at their activities, hiking, paddleboarding, reading and hanging out with friends and family.

I believe:

All children are valuable gifts from God.
All children have the right to be able to communicate.
All children are capable of learning.
Early intervention is better than the “wait and see” approach.
Parents are the ultimate authority over their children.
It is a blessing and a privilege to come alongside each family to help them meet the goals they have for their children.

About Small Talk

I spent the beginning of my career working in the public school system with children during the school year and as a traveling SLP working with adults with special needs in the summer months. But, when it came time to return to work after getting my own three kids into school, I decided that I wanted to come alongside families in a different way than I had in the past. I didn’t want to be limited by insurance companies and educational codes telling me who I could and couldn’t help, how often or in what way. I just wanted to help kids who needed help. So, I started my own private practice and I call it Small Talk.

Now I get to partner with parents and give them the assistance and tools I appreciate as a parent. I get to put the power of decision making back where it belongs, in parents’ hands. I provide my professional opinion as we discuss each parent’s concerns and each child’s greatest needs. It’s a form of teamwork that empowers families, grows better communication skills in kids and gives me a joy for my job that excites me every day.
