Hi! I’m Lindsay Abrams, M.S., CCC-SLP and I’m the owner of Sweet Friends Pediatric Therapy. I have passionately served children and families in east Tennessee for over five years. I have always refer to my clients as my “sweet friends”. I feel it represents my core belief as a speech therapist - positive relationships are required for communication to be fruitful, functional, and fun. My goal is to celebrate each child’s individuality, interests, and strengths while making therapy exciting and encouraging. I look forward to serving your family and building our own sweet friendship!

I graduated from Freed-Hardeman University and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a focus in child and family studies. I earned my master’s degree in speech-language pathology from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. I am licensed in the state of Tennessee and received my certificate of clinical competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, music, spending time with friends and family, and cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers. Go Vols!
