Natalie Beck, M.A., CCC-SLP

Speech Language Pathologist

Natalie is inspired by the natural joy, wonder, and curiosity that children bring to each session. She loves helping families reach their goals through play-based therapy, and believes that every child deserves to feel supported in discovering their own path to communication. Parents often describe her as a thoughtful listener who provides the tools and encouragement needed for children to succeed.

During her clinical fellowship, Natalie gained experience in both public schools in Baltimore, MD, and a specialized preschool in Portland, ME. She went on to work at a pediatric clinic in Falmouth, ME, where she developed growing expertise in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and articulation/phonological support for young children. Prior to her career in speech-language pathology, Natalie performed professionally in musical theater and still enjoys weaving music and theater into her therapy sessions.

Outside of work, Natalie loves exploring neighborhoods with her husband, learning to play her ukulele, and supporting local businesses and farms. She is an avid gong fu tea drinker and is always on the lookout for her next favorite teahouse where she can gather with friends or cozy up with a good book.
