Who we are
Gabrielle Johnson
Gabrielle Johnson is a pediatric speech-language pathologist and founder of Talk4Me Speech Therapy. She first received her B.S. in Communication Disorders from Western Carolina University, then decided to further her studies at North Carolina Central University for her M.Ed. in Communication Disorders, completed in 2009. She is licensed by the state of California services and holds a Certification of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
Gabrielle has had 14 years of experience working with clients of all ages from infants to young adults. Her primary passion is providing speech & language therapy for ages 18 and under population, using Auditory Verbal Therapy strategies learned from AG Bell. She is finishing up her Listening Spoken Language Certification in Auditory Verbal Therapy (LSLS Cert AVT).
As an SLP, she is passionate about working with all ages of individuals with the following diagnosis: Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Down Syndrome, Blind or Visually Impaired. She believes that every client can become independent communicators in the real world by empowering families. She strives to create a safe and welcoming environment where her clients feel comfortable exploring their communication differences/challenges.
Gabrielle takes on a client-centered, evidence-based developmental approach to therapy. She believes in collaborating with my clients to develop individualized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. She is dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in the field of speech therapy and auditory verbal therapy. Gabrielle regularly attend workshops and conferences to expand my knowledge and skills.
What I do Outside of Speech Therapy…
In addition to my work as a speech therapist, Gabrielle enjoys watching football (Roll Tide!), spending time with family and watching college basketball (Duke Blue Devils). She believes that it’s important for my clients to get to know me as a person, not just as a clinician, and she strives to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in my practice.
