Patricia Gauthier, CCC-SLP

I am a licensed and nationally certified speech pathologist currently located in the Atlanta area. I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at The Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. I have years experience working with adults in a variety of settings including hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, home health and tele-health. I understand where you have been and am excited to guide you on your journey to recovery.

I have completed advanced training in voice (LSVT LOUD and eLOUD certified, SPEAKOUT!) and swallowing (MBSIMP certified).

I am dedicated to a team approach to your recovery and am happy to coordinate your treatment with other clinicians/physicians at your request. Because I am a small private practice, I am able to offer flexible scheduling, direct access to your therapist throughout treatment as needed, and quick turn around of paperwork.
