Atousa Nagas

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

Accepts 54 insurance plans

Hello! I'm Atousa. I became a speech-language pathologist because I believe everyone deserves the ability to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs. Since 2004, I have been dedicated to helping individuals find their voice, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

My clinical background spans a variety of settings, including private clinics, schools, preschools, and rehabilitation hospitals, supporting clients with diverse communication needs. My therapy approach is holistic, functional, strengths-based, and routines-based. I prioritize individualized, client- and family-centered care, working closely with families to foster meaningful communication, self-advocacy, and long-term empowerment in daily life.

I am deeply committed to clinical excellence and continuous learning, having earned the ASHA Award for Continuing Education (ACE). I hold specialized training in PROMPT technique for motor speech disorders, extensive coursework in comprehensive speech and language evaluations, and advanced professional development in the LAMP (Language Acquisition through Motor Planning) AAC framework to support complex communication needs.
