What has been so fantastic about joining TALK after retirement is picking the time and environment I want to work in. It keeps my fingers in the profession but at my timeline. The administration has been great at reaching out for multiple opportunities.

I have loved how dynamic the opportunities are in working with TALK. I am able to determine my own schedule year to year as well as choose which settings I would like to work in. Through TALK, I've enjoyed exploring the wide range of placement opportunities including private schools, preschools, rural and suburban public schools, specialized schools, individual clinic sessions, and now virtual learning of all types. TALK has given me the opportunity to not only hone my skills as a speech language pathologist, but also find the settings where I enjoy working the most. There always seem to be positions and hours available should I need them, and I've really appreciated having TALK's support behind me whenever I enter a new position. I'm glad that TALK is where I have chosen to work for these past 9 years!

Working for TALK has been an awesome experience since day one! I love the supportive atmosphere at TALK - from both the leadership and other therapists. They offer flexibility in placements and work hard to find the perfect fit for each therapist. The consistency this position has provided over the years has been invaluable.

I made the move to Talk after moving to Virginia and initially not finding the right fit for me in a local school district. I have been so much happier since day one with Talk and immediately knew it was the best position for me. From the flexibility to the support, I have truly enjoyed my time with Talk. Caroline, Virginia and Charlotte listened to my needs and worked with me to find the right fit. It is so refreshing to have a say in your placement and hours!

Working for TALK has been such a fantastic experience. Owners and clinical coordinators are unbelievably responsive and invested in therapists' professional and personal experiences with the company. I feel cared for and supported at all times. I could not speak more highly of this company.

Working with TALK was my first job after graduate school and I have stayed because they have supported me through different placements and seasons as I have grown as a therapist. I appreciate the timely responsiveness and open communications throughout the company. I have been able to do a job I am passionate about while enjoying raising my family alongside colleagues I respect and who encourage me to be a better therapist.

What I have enjoyed about working with TALK thus far is that the company allows for great flexibility and independence, but is still very responsive and supportive when needed. I love that there are many options as far as types of settings and populations to work with. I also really enjoy that I feel I have a lot of freedom to focus on honing my skills as a therapist, but I also feel very supported in knowing my co-workers and supervisors are always available to help.

I decided to work for TALK because I wanted a company that would value my work and see me as more than merely a cog in the machine for providing services to children. From the beginning, Virginia, Charlotte, Caroline, and Mike have all been patient, exceedingly kind, understanding, and empathetic which are all aspects I value in myself and was looking for in a company. Being a brand new SLP during a global pandemic, I wanted a company who I could turn to for help sans judgment and a solid support system as we navigate these ever-changing conditions. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for them and hope to continue to grow and learn as I progress further with them in my career.

TALK has been such a welcoming family business since I first moved to Richmond as a newer SLP! We always have open communication between the owners and all the employees; even during COVID we became closer and came together as one team! The support is constant!

TALK’s leadership exemplifies the highest level of commitment to the team and quality of services to those they serve. They exhibit open and honest communication and allow a flexible work schedule with full and part time opportunities.

Virginia Kaufmann, M.Ed, CCC-SLP

I love working for TALK. I feel like a part of a big family & I always have support from my colleagues. As a team, we help each other out in many ways. If you’re sick, go on vacation, get married, etc., TALK helps to cover your time/clients if you wish so you’re not playing catch up when you return. They’ve pushed me out of my comfort zone during my first year & found me my dream job placement within my second year. This allowed me to get experience in other areas & gave me an opportunity to determine what age group I liked best.

Sarah Van Nest M.S., CCC-SLP

At TALK you have independence and flexibility in making your own schedule and seeing your clients/students, but help is easily accessible. They are very responsive via phone and email. They are always willing to help and they truly look out for their therapists!
