Woodrum Speech Therapy offers personalized speech-language therapy for all ages — with a special focus on helping adolescents and young adults thrive. I specialize in articulation, fluency, and social communication, using a relational approach that builds confidence for real-life conversations, not just progress reports.

My Approach

Welcome to Woodrum Speech Therapy — a Columbus-based private practice offering personalized, relational speech-language services for children, teens, and adults. While I serve clients across the lifespan, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults navigating real-life communication challenges. Whether it’s fluency, articulation, or social skills, I go beyond the traditional therapy room to build confidence and communication that lasts in everyday life — in friendships, academics, and future careers.

With flexible in-person and teletherapy options I’m here to meet you where you are — and help you grow from there.

While my specialty is in articulation, fluency, and social communication, I support a wide range of speech and language needs across all ages.

Services

  • Helping clients of all ages produce clear and confident speech. With strong clinical experience in articulation and speech sound disorders, I provide the tools to help clients make real progress, to be understood, and to have fun while learning.

  • Specializing in pragmatic (social) communication, I support clients in reading social cues, holding conversations, and building meaningful relationships. My work is real-world focused — helping teens and young adults feel more confident in classrooms, friendships, or on the job.

  • For clients who stutter or experience interruptions in their speech, I offer supportive, individualized therapy that builds both speech tools and self-advocacy. The goal isn’t just smoother speech — it’s feeling empowered to speak up in any setting.

  • Whether a client struggles to understand others, express thoughts clearly, or keep up with academic demands, I offer instruction and strategies that fit their real-world needs.

Flexible session formats

  • Therapy in real-life environments — whether it’s in the home, a library, or a coffee shop. These sessions are great for practicing skills where they matter most: in your daily life.

  • Convenient, flexible online sessions that meet you where you are. Ideal for busy schedules or clients who thrive in a familiar space — with the same quality, personal connection, and results.

  • ¿Prefiere comunicarse en español? Algunos de nuestros servicios están disponibles en español, adaptados a sus necesidades o a las de su hijo. Si se siente más cómodo expresándose en español, o si prefiere un enfoque bilingüe, con gusto podemos conversar sobre cómo personalizar la terapia para que sea más accesible y efectiva para usted.

Hi, I’m Fred Woodrum.

I started this practice with a clear vision: to empower people to communicate with confidence during their everyday lives. My approach is relational, real-world, and evidence-based — with a special focus on supporting adolescents and young adults at pivotal points in their social, academic, and professional lives.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Spanish with a focus on Hispanic Linguistics, along with a minor in Linguistics, from the Ohio State University. I continued my education at OSU, completing my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology and gaining additional training in Portuguese through the FLAS fellowship. This robust background in linguistics and multilingual communication provides me with a unique advantage in understanding and teaching the intricate mechanics of speech, language, and communication.

Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from elementary school to middle school in both English and Spanish. My experience also extends to years of volunteer mentoring with middle and high school students, which deeply informs the trust-centered and highly relational style I bring to every session.

While I specialize in areas like articulation, fluency, and social-pragmatic communication, my goal always extends beyond just clinical progress. I'm committed to equipping every client with practical tools they can use to build meaningful friendships, express themselves authentically, and achieve their real-life goals. Therapy with me is built on genuine connection, individualized support, and tangible outcomes—whether we're working together in your home, online, or within the community.

As a bilingual provider, I also offer services in Spanish depending on client needs. I’m committed to creating a welcoming, flexible, and empowering space where every client feels seen, heard, and supported.

I look forward to the opportunity to support your everyday communication needs!
