Melissa Greene, M.A., CCC/SLP

Melissa Greene, M.A., CCC/SLP, owner and pediatric speech therapist at Magnolia Speech Therapy Associates in Newnan, GA

Welcome! I’m Melissa M. Greene, M.A., CCC-SLP, a pediatric speech therapist with nearly 3 decades of experience helping children grow and succeed. Over the years, I’ve supported children in a variety of settings— from private practice and homes to schools and early intervention programs.

I started Magnolia Speech Therapy Associates to build strong partnerships with families and provide personalized speech and feeding therapy that supports each child’s unique needs. After years of serving in leadership roles and working closely with families, I knew I wanted to create a practice rooted in relationships, flexibility, and individualized care.

My approach is play-based, child-centered, and focused on building upon your child’s strengths. I believe in creating fun sessions with the flexibility to follow your child’s lead so they feel confident learning and practicing new skills.

I work closely with families to provide education, coaching, and home strategies that support your child’s continued progress between sessions. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child make progress, and I’m honored to be part of that journey.

  • "We’re already seeing so much progress! "

    We have enjoyed working with Melissa so much. She has made this process so smooth, easy, and enjoyable. My son looks forward to his sessions as he is learning through “playing” games. We’re already seeing so much progress! I can’t wait to see and hear the changes over the next few months.
