  • Hi, I'm Mahfuza Anika — a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder and owner of Sprouting Minds Pediatric Speech Therapy.

    I am proud of my Bangladeshi heritage and grew up in Houston. Growing up in a close, family-oriented household shaped who I am today. From a young age, I've been drawn to caring for others, and that passion has carried through my personal and professional life ever since.

    I founded Sprouting Minds Pediatric Speech Therapy to serve my community with specialized clinical support, grounded in therapy that is individualized, functional, and family-centered.

    Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, reading, cooking, browsing antique stores, and cuddling up with my cat, Louise.
