Katherine Chau

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.C.D., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 26 insurance plans

Hi! I’m Katherine. Whether supporting children’s education or coaching sports, I have always been passionate about helping young people reach their goals. Becoming a speech-language pathologist was a natural step in my journey, allowing me to empower children and individuals by helping them unlock clear, effective communication.

My clinical background spans individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings, supporting both children and adults with diverse speech, language, and communication needs. I utilize a client- and family-centered approach that is functional, routines-based, and grounded in strengths-based strategies. To create an engaging and supportive environment, I frequently integrate sensory processing techniques into sessions to build confidence, support self-regulation, and foster self-advocacy.

I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care and continuously advancing my specialized skill set for complex communication needs. I am PROMPT Level 1 trained and have completed advanced coursework in LAMP Words for Life. Additionally, I have led research and professional presentations on implementing episodic models of care and developing meaningful, effective goal structures within the LAMP Words for Life framework.

Other interests

I love playing soccer and kickball, listening to music and cooking good Cajun meals. I’ve played the drums since I was 10, but my music career has taken a back seat with a 4 month old in the house!
