Speech Therapy, Feeding therapy, & Lactation Counseling
Helping children learn, grow, and soar with personalized care at our Fort Myers office.
Welcome to Crescent Kids Therapy!
Crescent Kids Therapy provides personalized speech therapy, feeding therapy, and lactation counseling at our welcoming Fort Myers office. We support children from birth through elementary school and their families, creating a space where children can feel comfortable, build connections, and grow at their own pace.
We believe meaningful progress begins with connection. Through an individualized, play-based approach, we provide compassionate care that helps children feel supported, engaged, and confident as they grow. We value strong relationships and close collaboration with families, helping skills practiced in our office carry over into everyday moments at home and in the community. Our goal is to support your child’s communication while walking alongside your family every step of the way.
Visits at nearby daycares and preschools may also be available based on location and scheduling. Contact us to learn more.
Feeding Therapy
We meet your child where they are in their feeding journey. We support breast, bottle, spoon, and tube feeding while helping them grow from early explorers into confident eaters.
Speech therapy
We specialize in helping children communicate with confidence, whether they are late to talk, experiencing language delays, difficult to understand, or using alternative forms of communication.
Caregiver coaching
Building confidence in supporting your child’s communication in everyday moments like meals, play, and routines. You’ll walk away with simple, practical strategies you can actually use so progress doesn’t stop when therapy ends.
Meet Your Speech Therapist
Lauren Cobb, M.S., CCC-SLP, CLC
Owner, ASHA Certified Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Lactation Counselor
I founded Crescent Kids Therapy because I wanted a space where families feel truly heard, supported, and never rushed through their concerns. Helping children find their voice in those early years is something I’m deeply passionate about, and I believe every child deserves to feel understood in a way that honors who they are.
I’m a pediatric speech therapist and certified lactation counselor with experience across multiple settings, along with my own lived experience as a mom. These perspectives have shaped how I show up for families—with empathy, understanding, and a real appreciation for how overwhelming this journey can feel.
I take a family-first, child-centered approach, where I start by really listening so I can build a plan that reflects your child’s strengths and what your family needs most. I use connection, play, and evidence-based strategies to support communication and feeding development in a way that feels supportive and meaningful.
At the heart of everything I do is the belief that families deserve care that feels personal, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I’m here to walk alongside you, advocate for your child, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
