Meet the SLPs
Teresa L. Ahrens, M.A., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist/Owner
I received an Associate of Arts degree from Bethany Lutheran College in 1988. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1990 and went on to obtain a Master of Arts degree in Speech Pathology in 1994, both, from the University of Iowa. I worked as a Speech Therapist in South Carolina until moving to Wisconsin in 1998. Since 2000, I have provided private therapy to children in private schools, in their homes and in our Cedarburg clinic. I often have graduate clinicians working with me to complete their training to become SLPs. I take the role of mentor very seriously and enjoy sharing my experience with the next generation of therapists.
Shannon Greenlee, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
I am beginning my 11th school year as a speech language pathologist. I received my bachelors degree from Augustana College and Masters degree in Speech and Hearing Science from the University of IL. I have worked primarily in the school setting, serving early childhood - elementary grades; however I have served children as young as 2 through the middle school grades. I enjoy collaborating with teachers, families, and students to help them be as successful as possible with communicating their wants, needs, and ideas in their everyday settings. When I'm not working, I'm playing with monster trucks and pushing my two boys on the swings, drinking coffee with my husband, or walking our cockapoo, Paisley.
Jessica Schumacher, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Science in 2004 and then graduated from Marquette University in 2006 with a Masters in Speech-Language Pathology. I have about 3 years of experience working at Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee and over 16 years of experience working in various school settings. My areas of interest include early language development and language disorders, significant speech sound disorders (I have completed the PROMPT training courses) and use of AAC/speech generating devices to help expand expressive communication. I greatly enjoy working with children and share in their joy as they meet their goals.
Katie Bina, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
I received my Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Science degree in Communicative Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011 and 2013, respectively. I have spent all nine years of my career in the school setting working with children as young as three and as old as eigth grade with identified needs in speech (articulation and phonology), language (receptive, expressive, and social), voice, and fluency. I enjoy collaborating with teachers and families, incorporating aspects of the curriculum into intervention, and observing student growth through intervention.
