Hola, I'm Vanessa, an ASHA-certified, bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist, first generation college graduate and the founder of TheraVolve Wellness Co. I earned my Master's in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of South Florida, studied abroad at the University of São Paulo in dysphagia and aural rehabilitation, and researched bilingual memory aids for individuals with dementia. For years, I provided skilled evaluation and care to children, adults, and seniors, with a heart for bilingualism, dementia, voice, and recovery after stroke and brain injury.

​

This work has always been personal for me. I was my abuela's caregiver as she lived with dementia, and I'm a bilingual, allergy mama raising my own children in two languages; so I know what it means to advocate fiercely for the people you love and to long for care that truly sees your whole family. Along the way, I saw how often the system left little room for the unhurried, deeply personal care I believed in. So I built something different; a calm, culturally responsive practice where every client and family feels genuinely seen and supported.

​

Today, I lead as Founder & CEO, setting our standard of care, mentoring our clinicians, and championing communication through community outreach and education across Tampa Bay. The personalized, day-to-day therapy your family receives is delivered by a dedicated, hand-picked team who share the very same heart that started it all.
