Hello, my name is Simone Douglas-Shepard and am a recent graduate from Old Dominion University. I am happy to work as a SLP-A at Mindful Communication Group to provide services for kids of any age. I love their unique personalities and watching them grow and progress in therapy.

Hello! My name is Ariel Morgan. I have been working in this field for about 5 years. I am a dedicated Speech-Language Pathology Assistant with a passion for helping others find their voice. Supporting speech-language pathologists and working with families to create positive change makes this career truly fulfilling. Seeing their progress and excitement as they achieve their goals reminds me why I am passionate about this field. Fun fact about me, Disney has always been a big part of my life—so much so that my name (and my daughter’s) are inspired by Disney princesses. 

I am a dedicated psychotherapist with a deep passion for mental health, the brain, and holistic healing. With expertise in anxiety, trauma, relationships, and crisis, I help individuals navigate life’s challenges by integrating evidence-based therapeutic approaches with holistic wellness strategies. My goal is to empower clients to achieve emotional resilience, mental clarity, and overall well-being. I am committed to transforming lives and promoting sustainable healing.
