Nicholle Sturm, SLP

Degree: BS - Psychology

BA - Communication Science and Disorders

MS - Speech-Language Pathology

Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist with Play Works Therapies from 2011-2018

Speech Language Pathologist with Play Works Therapies 2018-Current.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia PA. I moved to Saint Augustine, Florida with my husband in 2008.

We have 2 children ages 12 and 16. We live in Saint Johns and love spending time together camping, boating

and exploring new places.

I always knew I wanted to work with kids so my first stop on my career path was with 0-3 population in early intervention with in-home services to our local community. After many years of working alongside speech language pathologists I pursued my bachelors of science degree and then my masters degree to become an SLP. I love working with kids of all ages and currently service 4 different schools with Play Works Therapies ranging from 3 years old-18 years old between 2 catholic schools, a middle school and Jacksonville School for Autism.
