Our Team

Lacey Carter, MS, CCC-SLP (she/her)

I’m a mountain-loving mama rooted back in my home state of Tennessee. After several years of adventuring out West, my husband and I returned home to raise our wild little ones closer to family. Some of my greatest joys are watching our kids explore the world, enjoying fresh food from the garden, curling up with a good Harry Potter movie, and getting lost in nature whenever I can.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from The University of Tennessee in 2009, followed by my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 2011.

Speech therapy is a field I truly love, and I’m so grateful for the many individuals and families I’ve had the honor of walking alongside throughout the years.

As of July 14, 2025, am the Clinic Director of our clinic in Dyersburg, TN! It is located at 1999 St. John Ave. within the RapidCare building.

Laurel Mendoza, MA, CCC-SLP (she/her)

Hello! I live in the beautiful state of Colorado. I love traveling, being in the mountains, the occasional skydive, reading, and spending time with my favorite people.

I received my Bachelor’s in Communicative Disorders from the University of Redlands in 2011, and my Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Northern Colorado in 2013.

I am always looking to expand my perspective and knowledge, within the field as well as in life. I am passionate about neurodiversity affirming and trauma-informed approaches.
