Welcome to The Essential Teletherapist
Hi, I’m Ellie Richter, a certified and licensed bilingual speech-language pathologist based in St. Charles, Missouri, with nearly 15 years of experience. Since 2010, I’ve supported children’s communication development in both English and Spanish across a variety of settings, including schools, early childhood centers, home health, private clinics, and nonprofit organizations.
In 2020, I transitioned fully into teletherapy and have since partnered with districts in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri to provide high-quality virtual speech therapy services. From evaluation overflow to direct therapy sessions and caseload management, I specialize in helping schools meet compliance requirements while ensuring students continue to progress toward their goals.
My approach is collaborative and student-centered. I work closely with administrators, staff, and families to provide services that are consistent, engaging, and tailored to each child’s needs. Schools that partner with me gain not just coverage, but a reliable, experienced professional dedicated to delivering results.
