Tonia Srubar-Livingston, MS, CCC/SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Founder and Owner​

​

I was born and raised here in Schulenburg. After graduating high school in 1997, I moved to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech University.  I graduated from Texas Tech University Health Science Center in 2006 with a bachelor of science in speech-language and hearing sciences, and in 2008 with a master of science in speech-language pathology.  I was very fortunate to have so many wonderful professors, clinical instructors and mentors while at Texas Tech.  Starting my career in Lubbock afforded me the opportunities to gain valuable experience as a speech-language pathologist in a variety of clinical settings.  I began working for the Regional Day School Program for the Deaf where I provided speech and language therapy for children from ages three to eighteen years old.  I also gained experience in skilled nursing facilities, caring for adults with speech, language, cognitive, voice and swallowing/ feeding disorders.  I was very excited when I received an offer from Texas Tech University Health Science Center to be a clinical instructor in the speech-language pathology department.  It was very rewarding to mentor graduate students through their first experiences providing therapy.  I also worked at University Medical Center and the Lubbock Heart Hospital primarily providing acute care services to neonates, children and adults with feeding and swallowing disorders.  In May of 2011, my family and I moved to Schulenburg.  Happiness really was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror!  Upon my return to Schulenburg, I began providing speech therapy services in skilled nursing, outpatient and home health settings.  Also, because of a very special baby boy, I joined the Bluebonnet Trails early childhood intervention team.  I truly love what I do and the difference that I can help make in the lives of my patients and their families.  In order to truly reach out to those in the community that are in need, and go above and beyond to make a difference, I decided to start a private practice.  Beyond Therapy opened in 2012, and is still going strong.  We have a family of therapists who share a passion for helping others and supporting a healthy community.

I graduated from Schulenburg High School in 2014, attended Texas A&M University prior to being accepted into the South University Physical Therapist Assistant Program in Round Rock, Texas. During my internships, I provided physical therapy services to both children and adults in a variety of settings - skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics, and pediatric home health.  I graduated with an honor of summa cum laude from the PTA program in 2017.  I joined the team of therapists at Beyond Therapy in May of 2017, and have loved working here as the PTA ever since.  I aspire to always have a positive influence on my patients, and do my absolute best to meet all their needs and goals. I will always continue to further my education and skills alongside such a wonderful team of experts here at BT.

I take pride in providing occupational therapy skilled services for children and adults within the surrounding rural communities where I personally grew up.

Greta Henke, PT  

Physical Therapist

I was born and raised in Goliad, Texas, where I graduated high school. I continued my education at Texas Tech University, completing my Master’s Degree of Physical Therapy, Wreck ‘Em!  I currently reside in Hallettsville, TX with my husband, Leo, three children Arlen, Lane, and Landree, along with my many animals including Peppa, the famous Beyond Therapy mascot.  I have been a practicing Physical Therapist for 20 years, working within many settings including: Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) for 6 years, outpatient, school, and adult home health. I began working at Beyond Therapy in Schulenburg in October 2019.

​

In my spare time, I actively participate with local organizations, specifically Lavaca County 4H with my family raising show pigs. If you don’t find me in the pig barn, you’ll find me cheering on my kids at their various sporting events including football, baseball, and softball.   

​

The most recent addition to my family includes our dog, Peppermint “Peppa”. She was born October 13th, 2023 as a Christmas present for my daughter, Landree. Peppa “the BT therapy dog” will often make her appearance at the clinic, where she provides joy to the existing therapy patients and encourages perseverance for them to reach their goals! 

​

I enjoy collaborating with this great therapy team and providing insight with pediatric physical development following my many years of practice within this setting. I’m extremely grateful for where this journey has taken me, and will continue to provide superior therapeutic care for individuals and their families within this rural community.​​​

Meagan Jurica MS, CCC/SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist 

​

I was born and raised in Schulenburg, Texas. After graduating high school in 2014 from Sacred Heart Catholic School in Hallettsville, I attended Texas State University. It was during my undergraduate studies that I got my first taste of Beyond Therapy. During Summer 2016, I volunteered at their summer literacy camp. It was then that I truly fell in love with my career choice, and it led me back to Beyond Therapy summer after summer. 

 

After graduating from Texas State University in 2018, I attended Baylor University to pursue my master’s degree. At Baylor, I loved that my faith was integrated into my academics and clinicals. There, I was able to gain hands on experience with a range of populations and disorders. In Fall 2019, I completed my final full-time internship at DeTar Hospital in Victoria, Texas. In December 2019, I graduated from Baylor University and promptly started working at Beyond Therapy. In my spare time, I love to spend time in my community and also with my cows. I have greatly enjoyed my time working with this great team at Beyond Therapy and look forward to many more years of learning from each other and supporting our clients in the best way possible.

Landry Helmcamp,  OT

Occupational Therapist 

​

I was raised in Weimar. After graduating high school in 2013, I attended Texas A&M University where I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Community Health. Whoop! Following graduation in 2017, I attended The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences where I earned my Master's in Occupational Therapy.  During my masters program, I had the opportunity to gain clinical experience in an In-Patient Rehabilitation Hospital as well as an Acute Pediatric Hospital.

 

I began my OT career in League City, Texas working in a Skilled Nursing Facility before moving on to work with individuals who had suffered traumatic brain injuries at Moody Neuro Rehab in Galveston. Both were very rewarding settings where I was able to grow professionally and personally. 

 

My Husband and I moved back home to Weimar in September of 2021, and I began my pediatrics career at Beyond Therapy! Working with children and still having the opportunity to work with adult clients has truly been the best of both worlds. 

 

Being a team member at Beyond Therapy has been the biggest blessing. I look forward to many years helping the children and adults in our community. 

McKenna Jasek Brewer,CCC/SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist​

I was raised in Austin, but my parents grew up in Hallettsville. Growing up, I absolutely loved visiting my family in Hallettsville during the summers and holidays. I got married in May of 2022. Since I’ve always loved the small-town atmosphere and my husband was raised in Sweet Home, we decided this area was perfect to live in and raise a family. On August 7th, 2024, we welcomed identical twin boys into the world and we could not have been happier.   

 

I graduated from Texas State University in Communication Disorders in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders. I continued my graduate studies at Texas State and received a Master of Science in Communication Disorders in 2021.   

 

I’ve had wonderful opportunities to gain clinical experience in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, and private practices. During my last semester of graduate school, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to complete my final externship at Beyond Therapy. I’ve valued my experience at Beyond Therapy and learned so much from the therapy team. I grew so much personally and clinically during my experience that I completed my Clinical Fellowship at Beyond Therapy and then accepted a full-time position.   

 

I enjoy working with patients of all ages, as well as collaborating with the physical and occupational therapists to create a treatment plan that is tailored to each patient and their needs. There is nothing more heartwarming than seeing patients progress in their communication skills and flourish in their everyday life.​​​​
