Alethea Karras
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)
About me
Hello, I'm Alethea! I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I wanted a career that would allow me to empower and connect people in a significant way. I believe that communication is one of the most important tools humans have, and it is hugely important from early development, all the way to end of life. I wanted to choose a profession that would allow me to facilitate everyday functioning and connection between people, and improve others’ quality of living. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including schools (grades K-12), early intervention (birth-3), independent and assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). My special trainings include selective mutism and pediatric/adolescent stuttering. I attended a week-long CommuniCamp workshop with Dr. Elisa Shippon-Blum for Selective Mutism as well as the FRIENDS conference for stuttering in children and teens. I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, and individualized/personalized.

Alethea Karras makes my child feel significant throughout the entire scope of their speech sessions. This evaluation was no different. After the first half of evaluation, he was actually looking forward to signing on for the second half.
