Meet Our Team
Our compassionate therapists have experience with all ages, from birth through geriatrics for a wide range of diagnoses.
Our team of skilled speech and occupational therapists are knowledgeable, compassionate, and eager to help you reach your therapy goals. Therapists with the area of expertise that you or your family member require will be paired with you from the very first visit, if possible, and keep you with that therapist for the duration of your treatment. If the fit doesn’t seem to be quite right after that first session, we can make a change.
Our speech-language pathologists have a master’s degree, are licensed through the State of Oregon Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, and have a Certificate for Clinical Competency (CCCs) through the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). Additionally, some of our therapists speak Spanish.
