Testimonials

  • "Carissa was extremely accommodating and was able to get my husband scheduled for speech therapy immediately, bypassing a long waitlist at another clinic. Carissa's compassion and meticulous treatment plan were integral in furthering my husband's progress after a stroke last year. He looks forward to his sessions with Carissa, as she creates a welcoming environment that fosters both growth and enjoyment. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine dedication have made a remarkable impact on his speech, cognition, and voice. We highly recommend Carissa's speech therapy services to anyone in need."

    Rochelle

  • "Excellent diagnosis of a root cause issue and broad expertise on various practices to address them. Caring and patient. We give the highest recommendation!"

    Kristin

  • "I knew I was having difficulty swallowing medically prescribed pills, but I had no idea how to prevent the problem from happening. I looked on the internet but found nothing that presented a protocol I could rely on to work before I got a pill stuck. Everything I found was how to unstick pills. Carissa was very understanding of my concern and worrying about my situation. She took great care in explaining the physical mechanisms in the throat that are involved in swallowing any food or drinks or pills. Carissa used a cross section diagram of the entire head and throat as she explained how things work. Since I am a visual person, this was key to me taking it all in and retaining the information. Most importantly, her very nurturing approach gave me great confidence that I would never have the problem again if I followed her guidelines. I'm getting ready for my 4th week of treatment, and so far I have not had a single pill get stuck!"

    Peter

    Maxine

  • "Carissa's knowledge in the field of speech pathology is unmatched. I saw many doctors before seeing her so I thought there was nothing else I could try. After my first visit I was walking away with numerous things to try. Not only is Carissa knowledgeable, but she is also very empathetic and caring. She'll help you feel at ease and understood when you're going through a difficult health problem. If you have any speech pathology concern I highly recommend seeing Carissa."
