Elizabeth Peavy, M.Ed. CCC-SLP
As a student, Elizabeth always knew she wanted to work with children, but did not realize what that looked like until college. Elizabeth received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the wonderful University of Georgia. Since graduation, she has worked in both the private practice and school setting with kids of all ages. In 2018 she found an opportunity to open a new clinic in Grovetown. Therapy Trails has grown from just her offering speech therapy to a multiple disciplinary clinic with two locations in the CSRA.
Elizabeth has experience helping young children who have a variety of disorders and disabilities. Not only does she specialize in speech and language therapy, but she also has training with young infants and children who have feeding and swallowing disorders. She is a certified member of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in the state of Georgia. Elizabeth is trained in PROMPT and Beckman Oral Motor. When she is not working, Elizabeth is traveling with her husband, Seth, or strolling her 1 yr old daughter, Mallory, around the neighborhood. She is involved at her church and attends most UGA football games in the fall.

Since then, Sara has worked with young children in the clinic setting. She has also provided speech therapy services in the homes of many children located in Columbia County.

Amanda Huntley, M.S. CCC-SLP
Amanda’s interest in Speech Therapy grew when she volunteered her summers in college with a speech therapist at her hometown elementary school. She found speech therapy is a great mix of education and the medical fields. Since college Amanda has practiced speech therapy in Tennessee, North Carolina, and now Georgia. She has experience in SOS feeding, Dynavox and PRC AAC systems, and is vital-stem certified.
If Amanda’s not at the clinic you might find her running for exercise or just chasing her kids around playing sports!

Laura Dresser, M.Ed. CCC-SLP
When deciding what major to select in college, Laura thought back to when her younger siblings went to Speech Therapy as kids. She was always interested in the education field and the medical field and found being an SLP was a perfect mix of the two! As a recent graduate of Valdosta State University she was exited to return back to the CSRA to finish up school with a rotation in the NICU and start at Therapy Trails. Laura has leveraged her experience in the NICU to continue to specialize in feeding therapy. In her free time you can find her hanging out with family and friends or possibly reading her next book. Laura has many interesting things about her, but you’ll have to ask her specifically to find out. We are so excited to have Laura as part of the Therapy Trails family!!

Hannah Waples, DPT
Hannah was first introduced to physical therapy when she was a youngster doing dance. She loved the fact that she could actively heal through specialized movement. After volunteering with special needs kiddos in high school, Hannah knew she wanted to work with the pediatric population. Hannah’s passion for kids overflows to those around her!
When she’s not at Therapy Trails, you’ll probably find Hannah with her husband, Devin, and two fur babies outside hiking and exploring. She’s a huge animal lover and hopes to even have a mini farm with all types of rescue animals in the future. We are so excited to have Hannah part of the Therapy Trails Team!
