I’m Mackenzie Freeland, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2024 as a speech-language pathologist. I earned my undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State University and my master’s degree from The University of Texas at Dallas. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in private practice and school.

 

I am passionate about helping children express themselves and feel confident in their communication skills. In therapy, I create an encouraging, fun, and safe environment while working towards goals to increase motivation and facilitate progress. I value close partnership and communication with families to provide support in all environments.

 

In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, art classes, and spending time with friends and family.
