Carlie Lepore

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

Accepts 38 insurance plans

Hello! I’m Carlie. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I’ve always felt driven to help people of all ages, and becoming an SLP let me combine that passion with my love for both teaching and healthcare.

I have worked in clinical settings such as outpatient, clinics, rehab, and schools, with experience serving early intervention and medically complex populations. I specialize in alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), feeding, aural rehabilitation, cognitive-communication, and vocal cord dysfunction.

I’ve advanced my training through coursework in AAC, childhood apraxia of speech, and DIR/Floortime. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor students and trainees, and support the SLP community through educational content creation at @theslphq.

I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, strengths-based, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

Our family has always been amazed by the amazing therapists we met at Expressable in the past year or so. My daughter's main therapist, Carlie, has worked with us for a year. It has been such a blessing of us to meet her. We truly appreciate to have the company of and therapy from Carlie at Expressable at such a challenging time of our life. Carlie's kindness, patients, and professional skills helped my daughter so much and made such a remarkable progress of her speech skills and a huge difference in her life with all the encouragement and confidence from the therapies.

Carlie does an amazing job helping my husband overcome his reading and learning.  It is amazing how she tries new strategies to help him succeed.  Her positive approach is truly a blessing.

Carlie approaches the speech therapy sessions with (my spouse) based on her level and capabilities, by using different questions and methods to practice her speaking but also challenges (my spouse) at a level that improves her ability to speak.

I feel very lucky to have Carlie as my SLP. Her insight, advice and support are beyond my expectations. Because of her, my confidence in speech and cognition AND my quality of life have markedly improved since we began together 4 months ago.

In addition to providing helpful tools with both speech and cognitive issues, Carlie provided much needed support with both medical and personal issues.
