McKenna Feeding Therapy | Infant & Toddler Feeding Therapy in Austin

Home-based feeding therapy in Austin

Hi, I’m McKenna!

I’m a NICU-trained speech therapist and lactation counselor.

I help children from birth to age five grow and thrive through home-based and virtual feeding therapy.

My Approach

Parent/Caregiver Coaching:

You are your child's best teacher.
That’s why I use a parent-centered coaching model to equip you with the skills and confidence to support your child’s feeding journey. Rather than jumping in hands-on, I observe real mealtimes and guide you through practical strategies and personalized adjustments — so together, we can find what works best for your child and your family.

Home-Based Intervention:

I bring therapy to you — right in the comfort of your own home. Working in your child’s natural environment helps them feel safe and supported, and allows us to practice feeding strategies in the places and routines that matter most. This leads to greater progress and smoother carryover of skills into daily life.

FAQ

Unlike most SLPs, McKenna specializes specifically in infant feeding ages 0-5.

She works closely with your child's medical team to ensure your child receives wholistic, unified care.

What Are Your Prices?

Initial Evaluation ($150): 30-60 minute in-home or virtual evaluation to assess child's feeding, determine goals, and establish therapy frequency.
Therapy Session ($100): 30-60 minute; in home or virtual.
Consultation ($150/hr; charged in 15 minute increments): McKenna provides consultations via video chat over Zoom for parents who are looking to have an in-depth conversation with a feeding specialist about their child's needs.

Why Don't You Accept Insurance?

Dealing with insurance companies is a battle which involves extensive time I don't have as a single provider. Additionally, insurance often only reimburses a small percentage of what is billed, if at all. Instead, I have chosen to devote time and resources to providing services that will benefit clients more directly.
