Frieda Embry-Sackler

C-SLPA Speech-Language Pathology Assistant

My name is Frieda Embry-Seckler, and I am a Certified Speech Language Pathology Assistant(C-SLPA) at Aspen Speech Therapy. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in May of 2023 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Early on in Kindergarten I was diagnosed with a profound stutter, meaning that I will always have one. I did speech therapy from Kindergarten-7th grade, and today many people can’t believe I even have a stutter when I tell them because of how much speech therapy changed both my life and confidence in speaking. I decided to pursue being a speech therapist, because I am determined to help students who walk in the same or similar shoes I’ve walked in since Kindergarten.

I have been an SLPA for almost 3 years now, and I am skilled in providing therapy to children in various areas of speech and language, and I’m confident in identifying the needs of children. I have knowledge and experience treating children who have a variety of speech and language disorders including receptive and expressive language, stuttering, articulation, phonological processes, voice disorders, sound disorders, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder. I want to make sure that my patients and patient’s families always feel heard and understood, because everyone deserves a voice. I want to instill motivation, confidence, and effective communication habits in my speech patients that extend beyond the therapy room, because this is my purpose.

Back To Our Team

I just wanted to let you know about a special moment with my daughter last night. She was struggling with her “r’s” and he really helped her out. Last night she said “drip” very nicely in conversation and I complimented her. She said “I really miss Justin. He was so nice and really helped me.”

I have a caregiver who has been dealing with her husband's progressive aphasia and dementia for some time. They have been to several clinicians over the past couple of years that has resulted in very little help. This past week they saw Allie at your Greeley clinic and left feeling like someone understood the diagnosis and gave the caregiver and her husband helpful strategies and tips. This caregiver went from being emotionally distraught two weeks ago to now feeling encouraged and hopeful.

I can’t express enough how much Roxanne has helped me understand and teach my little one. Her speech has progressed so much from the beginning. Not only does Roxanne speak English but Spanish as well! In our household, Spanish is our main language. It’s amazing that she can help us in both languages! Every time we see Roxanne she always has the best attitude and a smile on her face.
