Katherine Joiner
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)
About me
Hi! I'm Katherine. Growing up I had always wanted to be in a profession that allowed me to interact highly with others. Upon going to school I realized that speech pathology was a great option. After shadowing over Christmas break my freshman year of college, I realized it was the profession for me! I have taken a great interest in the correlation between mental health and aphasia in adults. After working in a nursing home, I realized just how crucial it is to ensure communication with others and how that directly impacts mental health. I have been taking continuing education courses to gain a better grasp on my role in this issue. I also have been interested in learning more about how to treat children with trauma who have communication disorders--specifically, how I can become a better advocate for them. I have taken courses pertaining to this subject as well. In college I taught an American sign language course at the University of Mississippi and absolutely loved it. I have worked with a variety of populations including pediatrics, swing bed hospital, long-term care and rehabilitation, and outpatient clinic. I would describe my clinical style as rooted in client empowerment by creating self-advocates.

Katie is a great therapist! She is genuinely enthusiastic about every success (my child) has in school and life. I know she is 100% for us and is always willing to talk about anything I need help with as parental support for a child with language struggles.
