Our Team

Heather Hamilton, M.S., CCC-SLP

Founder & Senior Speech-Language Pathologist

Heather founded TALK in 2011 to give Atlanta families the practice she wished existed: clinically rigorous, genuinely warm, and accountable for results. Fifteen years on, she still leads the team's clinical standards, performs most of the practice's preschool evaluations, and treats every week: the complex language profiles, the psychoeducational-referral kids, the children other practices found hard to reach. Georgia State University invites her back every year to lecture to its speech-language pathology students, and she is certified in the Compton PESL Accent Modification Method, leading TALK's adult accent and professional-communication work personally.

Clare Lashley, M.A., CCC-SLP, Orofacial Myologist

Senior Speech-Language Pathologist & Orofacial Myologist

Clare is the team's orofacial and feeding specialist, one of the few orofacial myologists practicing in Atlanta. Her caseload spans feeding and swallowing, tongue thrust and post-frenectomy myofunctional therapy (often in collaboration with families' orthodontists and dentists), where precision, frequency, and patience compound into breakthroughs. Like Heather, she holds ASHA's ACE Award for continuing education beyond what licensure requires.

Bethany Morgado, M.S., CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Bethany blends structured, data-driven therapy with the kind of playfulness that makes children ask when they get to come back. Her deep experience spans speech sound disorders and the language that runs underneath academics: reading, writing, and math alike. It's a distinctive pairing: many children who struggle with word problems and math reasoning are really wrestling with language, and Bethany's particular interest in the math–language connection means those kids finally get both sides addressed. Many of her clients arrive with a dyslexia or dyscalculia diagnosis or a psychoeducational evaluation in hand. Bethany is bilingual and provides therapy in French.

Yvonne Bolin, M.S., CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Yvonne specializes in preschool and bilingual speech-language development, bringing more than 20 years of clinical experience across the United States, Germany, and Hong Kong. Raised in Germany in a bilingual household, she combines clinical expertise with firsthand insight into multilingual language development, providing culturally responsive, family-centered care. Her experience spans the lifespan, from toddlers with speech sound disorders to adults with aphasia, giving her a broad clinical perspective while maintaining a strong focus on meaningful, functional communication.

Before joining our team, Yvonne worked at the Atlanta International School, where she supported young children in a full German immersion preschool program. There, she fostered speech-language development and social-emotional communication in the classroom setting, further strengthening her expertise in bilingual language acquisition and early childhood intervention.

Yvonne takes a neuroaffirming, child-centered approach to therapy, blending evidence-based practices with warmth, empathy, and play-based engagement. She strives to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel understood, confident, and motivated to communicate. Families appreciate her genuine, straightforward communication, her ability to build meaningful connections with children of all personalities, and the individualized care she brings to every session.

Yvonne earned her bachelor's degree from Marquette University and her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Arizona State University. She is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed by the Georgia State Board of Examiners in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.

Yvonne is able to support French-speaking families and incorporate French in limited ways when appropriate. She does not provide fully bilingual therapy in French.
