Amber Cordry-Martinez, School Psychologist
The opportunity to be allowed into the process of helping a child, a parent trusting you to be in community with them in benefit of their student, is something I hold sacred. I am a school psychologist because increasing a student’s access to their educational, social, and behavioral acquisition is the greatest opportunity I have ever had.

Ashley Northam, Speech-Language Pathologist
CCC-SLP
I am very much a whole person-centered therapist. I believe in looking at all areas and factors that may contribute, or affect a client’s growth and development. I thrive on solving problems and seeing clients make progress. I love helping someone else achieve what they did not think was possible. It is so rewarding to look back with a client and see how far they’ve come in time. I love this profession in that there is never a dull day, a monotonous routine, or mindless work. There are definitely challenges that push me but I also love the search to “figure it out.” I get the privilege to work with a wide variety of people and teams with many skills and abilities and walk with them on a path to make a difference in their lives, whatever that may be. I absolutely love my job.

I truly believe that it takes a village. Having the opportunity to make a positive difference in one’s own community is where true change is sparked, and for me, that opportunity is helping children improve their communication and expression through speech therapy. I hope to make a lasting impact on each child I work with so that they feel confident in knowing that they have the knowledge, ability, and support to successfully engage and grow within their environment.

I believe that communication is the pathway to connection. When I am working with a child to better communicate with their classmate at school, a family member at home, or with the remarkable world around them; there is truly nothing more valuable. Everyone deserves to have access to meaningful connections through any mode of communication and it’s a privilege to be a part of each child’s extraordinary journey.

Communication is required if you want to live independently in this world. As I reflect on the things I value most in my life, and on the experiences my friends and family have had, I observe the unfortunate opportunity for people’s choices to be overlooked, and sometimes consciously ignored. It gives me great satisfaction to see my clients grow in their ability to effect change in their own lives as a result of their communication skills.

As the daughter of an adult immigrant to the United States, I was able to directly experience the importance of education as a way of building a life that includes meaningful work, equity, and growth. My own educational experiences have taught me the importance of learning about your unique learning profile and how to learn about learning. Although dyslexia runs in my family we are all avid readers. I love being in schools and collaborating with students, teachers, and families to support success and lifelong learning.

There is nothing more motivating to me than directly helping people. Kids are unique in that they are so shapeable and have such potential. This makes working with them particularly rewarding. In elementary school, I saw a wonderful SLP that helped me master the “s” sound. Having this first-hand experience at such a formative age left a lasting impression. As early as Kindergarten, I can recall being naturally drawn to engaging with kids who were outside the norm and seemed isolated. I enjoyed bringing a little joy and connection to them. I’m still that same person, and getting to work with kids that don’t fit into the box continues to motivate and inspire me.

School is the second most important part of a child’s life, after family. Growing up volunteering as a camp counselor, I knew I wanted to work with kids but never thought I could be a teacher, with all respect to teachers because that is a hard job! When I learned about school psychology it sounded like the perfect combination of working with individual students while supporting staff to improve outcomes for all kids. My approach to school psychology is evidence-based, systems-level, and oriented to social justice. School psychologists can do that!

I believe that every day should be about being a better version of our previous self. As we become better versions of ourselves it enables us to empower others toward personal growth and success. By becoming a better me, I can support others in becoming a better them. This, in turn, may lead to them empowering their own families and communities. It is a growth mindset that encourages others to live with intent, purpose, and personal meaning, and to spread the flame of hope and potential. The simplest way to say this is: “Kids (all people) do well if they can,” so let’s give them the tools so they can.

One of the core reasons I love being a school psychologist is that I have the opportunity to help students, families, and school teams to recognize and celebrate all growth and progress.

When I first learned about school psychology, what drew me to it was the process of uncovering hidden barriers for children that were causing struggles (academically, behaviorally, or socially), and then developing interventions to help them succeed. As a research assistant in the University of Oregon Brain Development Lab, I was able to see firsthand the benefits of early intervention on children at the brainwave level, and this inspired me. Several years later, as a parent of a child with a disability, I experience job satisfaction when I help parents feel heard, supported, or help them get access to services that they may not have otherwise for their child. I also find tremendous value in being a trusted adult for students who need someone to turn to.

Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear, so says George Addair. And it’s true. I have built my company to build bridges for thousands of children. And at moments it was terrifying. But despite any moment of trepidation, I could always close my eyes and imagine the small hand of my five year old daughter clasping mine on the walk to school. I started this company to have the freedom to walk her to school. But I built this company recognizing children needed an advocate. And parents working for me needed to have their own children valued, too. Building bridges is about moving someone from here to further down the road. And that’s what we do at Hello. We each take someone’s to take the hand to walk them to where they need to go.

Communication is the root of everything: how we relate to each other, build community, state our needs, talk about our feelings, tell jokes, interview for jobs, and share memories. Sometimes we communicate using our words. Other times we may communicate using a device such as our iPad or phone, sharing pictures, sharing music, playing a game, laughter, or simply a hug. My role as an SLP is to cultivate the best multi-modal communication approach for you and your family. I will listen attentively to help you say what you want to say when you want to say it. Your thoughts and feelings matter. I want to hear your wonderful ideas and so does the world!
