• About My Practice

    Hi! I'm Jeff Stepen, and I’m a speech pathlogist from the Chicago area with 25 years of experience. Welcome to my site!

    My goal is to provide exceptional, individualized speech therapy to a range of clients wishing to improve their communication skills. I specialize in working on later developing speech sound disorders (think "L" and "R") and working with minimally and nonspeaking individuals on the autism spectrum.

    I work with clients in both the Chicago suburbs and throughout the state of California, where I am also licenced. I obtained California licensure during the COVID lockdown in order to fill a need in the teletherapy space. I am happy to say that I am still offering teletherapy in 2025!
