“Built a practice focused on providing individualized speech and language services.”

Dialogue Speech Therapy Services (DSTS) recently marked its anniversary at 418 E. Broad Street in Cookeville. The Cookeville City Council Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) was on hand for the event.

More than just an anniversary – the company has also expanded with the addition of a new speech-language pathologist, Katheen Ferreli.

Owned by Sarah Johnson, DSTS has built a positive reputation.

“(She) has built a practice focused on providing individualized speech and language services in articulation, receptive and expressive language, social communication, AAC communication, and stuttering,” according to the Chamber.

According to the Chamber, Johnson has developed a practice centered on collaboration with families to support communication development and long-term success.

The company primarily serves children, with services available for adults as needed.

“… The team emphasizes collaboration with families to support communication development and long-term success,” according to the release. “Congratulations to Sarah, Kathleen, and the entire team on a wonderful first year and continued growth!”
