Janelle Mills, M.S., CCC-SLP
Licensed & Certified Speech-Language Pathologist
Hey there. I'm Janelle, the owner and director of Olive Speech & Language Therapy. I am a California licensed and clinically certified speech-language pathologist by the American Speech-Hearing-Hearing Association (ASHA). I'm a southern California native and earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Speech-Language Pathology from California State University San Marcos.
I have extensive experience in a variety of settings, including pediatric private practice, schools, hospitals, outpatient brain injury clinics, and in-home early intervention. I am a highly qualified clinician who is committed to providing exceptional services to address your child's communication needs. Additionally, I am passionate about providing inclusive, culturally sensitive, and neurodivergent affirming care with every child and family I have the pleasure working with.
In my free time, I enjoy spending my days outside at the beach, exploring new hiking trails, and catching a baseball game (Go Padres!) .
Our Approach
At Olive Speech & Language Therapy, we believe that child-led play and natural environment interaction are the keys to creating a conducive learning environment for children aged 0-3.
Our in-home services provide a comfortable and familiar setting for your child to develop essential communication skills, and allow them to develop functional expressive and receptive language around their daily routines and activities.
In choosing Olive Speech & Language Therapy, you will get an evidenced-based and individualized plan to help your child reach developmentally appropriate communication milestones. Your child's speech therapist will work closely with caregivers to provide collaboration and coaching in order to foster your child's communication skills throughout the week.

Choosing self-pay for speech therapy can offer several benefits:
-
It might actually be cheaper. Self-pay may cost less for high deductible plans or out-of-network. Insurance carriers set a negotiated rate for deductible payments. Providers may offer a lower self-pay rate, which is not applied to the deductible. It saves money for those who don't meet their deductible or have few medical expenses.
-
It allows for greater flexibility and personalized treatment plans, as providers are not limited by insurance company guidelines. This can include frequency, and duration of services. Some insurances companies max out at a certain number of sessions.
-
Self-pay may allow faster access to care than those relying on insurance. Self-pay clients do not need to wait for approval before starting services.
