Katie Justus
M.A. CCC-SLP
Hi! I’m Katie, an ASHA certified pediatric speech-language pathologist with four years of experience across outpatient clinics, private practice, and school settings. I provide speech and language services in Maple Valley, WA.
I take a play-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to therapy that is child-centered and individualized. Each session is thoughtfully designed around a child’s strengths, interests, and areas of growth to support meaningful, functional communication.
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that supports not only speech and language development, but also a child’s emotional and social well-being. My goal is to create sessions that foster both progress and joy, helping children build confidence while developing strong, meaningful connections.
