About Me

Marissa Braden, M.A. CCC-SLP
Owner, Budding Communication, LLC

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Florida-licensed speech language pathologist, certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). I received my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2020. Prior to becoming a speech-language pathologist, I provided Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Since then, I have gained experience in outpatient pediatric clinic and school settings. I am passionate about building relationships, encouraging curiosity, and facilitating communication in a meaningful way. I believe children are budding communicators and learn best through play.

I currently live in Milton, FL with my partner, Jeremy, and our pup, Luna. I enjoy spending time in nature on our local creeks, gardening, and baking.
