Meet Our Founder
Jessica Sekhon, M.S., CCC-SLP, CAS
Jessica Sekhon is the founder and CEO of Thrive Speech Therapy. She’s been practicing as a pediatric speech therapist since 2017 and began her journey in the field as an SLPA while still in grad school. Jessica is also a certified autism specialist and is currently pursuing her second master's degree in ABA therapy to prepare for the BCBA exam.
Jessica’s passion for communication started early, inspired by her younger brother’s experience in speech therapy. Her career began in the school setting, but a desire for deeper, more personalized care led her to start Thrive Speech Therapy. What began with in-home and daycare visits has grown into a thriving network of clinic-based care across Greater Houston.
Today, Jessica leads a team of dedicated therapists while staying actively involved in creating therapy plans that truly support children and families.
The Thrive Speech Therapy Core Values
Heart. Courage. Humility. Unity.
Delivering Therapy That’s Personal, Purposeful, and Play-Based
At Thrive Speech Therapy, we believe every child deserves to be heard, understood, and supported. What started as a one-woman practice has grown into a trusted name across Houston, with 9 clinic locations and a team of passionate pediatric speech therapists.
We specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, play-based therapy that’s rooted in research and led with heart. Our sessions are personalized, strengths-based, and focused on real-life progress, not quick fixes.
We know communication challenges can feel isolating. That’s why we meet families where they are and build lasting partnerships based on compassion, collaboration, and expertise.
Our goal is always to support (not fix) your child and to provide your family with tools that make everyday life better.
