About Us
We've rebranded from SYNC to Sound Space. We have the same values and mission; we've just expanded to create a space for patients of all ages and providers who serve clients across the lifespan.
At Sound Space, you'll find a group of neurodivergent providers and allies who believe in care that’s affirming, respectful, and built on real connection. We listen, we collaborate, and we center each person’s unique strengths and story. We’re deeply rooted in community, collaboration, social justice, and progress.
Meet the Founder of Sound Space
Welcome to Sound Space!
​
I'm Mary Coburn, M.A., CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist with over eleven years of experience in private practice. Through my work at Whole Child Therapy Services, I observed that many traditional private practice models limited professional collaboration, prioritized productivity over people, and left providers feeling isolated. And when providers aren't supported, that impact flows directly to the families and patients they serve.
​
That belief became the foundation for Sound Space, originally launched as the Sound Youth Neurodiversity Collective (SYNC). It was my vision to create a collaborative, family-centered model where professionals could work together to better support clients of all ages and their families and caregivers. As SYNC evolved, it became clear that the greatest need wasn't shared space, but meaningful connection, education, and professional support. Sound Space emerged as the next chapter of that vision, expanding beyond a physical collective into a professional community focused on learning, collaboration, and growth.
​
Today, Sound Space is designed for both the provider and the patient. Providers are invited to join a community where education, training, peer consultation, and multidisciplinary collaboration are at the center, so that families can benefit from thoughtful, coordinated, values-aligned care.​
