Frankly Communicating was established in January of 2006 by Heather Ashley Franks, whose mission is to provide competent, efficient, and effective services with a personalized touch designed to meet the needs of each child or adult and their families. The practice began as a small private office where families could receive quality services, with the goal of accepting insurance so that families without funding for private therapy could still receive help. As demand grew, additional speech therapists and occupational therapy were added. In 2025, the team includes eight speech therapists and three occupational therapists. Speech-language therapy includes play-based sessions for young clients, table activities as clients approach school age, and services for pediatric speech and language delays, developmental and congenital disorders, and feeding issues, as well as adult aphasia, swallowing, and cognitive linguistic deficits from stroke, TBI, and neurological disorders. Occupational therapy features vestibular activities on swings, sensory exploration, and fine motor work. Individual and group therapy sessions are available in-person and virtually, including three social skills groups: a young adult group and teen group that meet virtually on Wednesdays, and an in-person group for 5-7 year olds. The office can be reached at 410-871-2990.

The Westminster office is located on F Washington Rd, about 0.1 miles from Washington Road, half a mile from Crest Lane Seventh-day Adventist School, Winchester Park, and Westminster High School, and 0.6 miles from County Home Farm Pond and Landon C. Burns Park.
