Meet Sierra Jefferson, M.S., CCC-SLP

Hello! I’m Sierra Jefferson, M.S., CCC-SLP, licensed and certified speech-language pathologist and founder of Pathways to Speech.​ I am a proud graduate of the University of the District of Columbia, and for the past five years I’ve had the privilege of serving children and families throughout the Atlanta area. During this time, I’ve supported toddlers and school-age students in discovering their voices, improving clarity, and building confidence in their communication skills.

My Approach

I specialize in play-based, engaging, and family-centered therapy. My goal is to create safe, supportive environments where children feel encouraged to explore, grow, and express themselves. Sessions are designed to be fun, purposeful, and developmentally appropriate — helping children stay motivated and excited to learn. I partner closely with families and caregivers to ensure that what we practice in sessions easily carries over into daily routines. When families feel confident using communication strategies at home, children experience meaningful, lasting growth.

My Mission

At Pathways to Speech, our mission is simple:
To guide little voices along their pathway to clear, confident communication — one step at a time. Together, we’ll celebrate progress big and small as your child moves toward stronger, more independent communication skills.
