Courtney Carlson, B.A., M.A.

My goal is to empower patients with skills that can be utilized in their daily life beyond our therapy session, whether it's improving speech, language comprehension or communication strategies.

What I enjoy most about my profession is the problem-solving aspect. I work on identifying the most effective strategy for each patient and optimizing their function through specific techniques.

After witnessing my father's struggle with head and neck cancer, I was inspired to pursue a career in speech language pathology. My specific area of focus and passion lies in working with patients affected by head and neck cancer, particularly those dealing with issues related to dysphagia.
