Elena believes in working with the entire person, not with the speech issue alone.  We are entire beings and deserve the respect to be treated as a whole. 

Elena believes in entering into an agreement with each client, young and old, based on mutual trust and respect and her work is delivered without judgment.  She believes in creating an individualized plan for each client, rather than adhering to a specific “approach” or “program”, so that each client feels educated and comfortable about the rationale behind their plan. 

Elena’s work transcends the therapy room and involves taking her clients out into the “real world”, speaking with family members, teachers, employers and others involved in her client’s lives.  Her work cannot happen in isolation.  She is here to train parents of young children so they become equipped to carry over the therapy to the home environment. 

Adults are given emotional, attitudinal and physical strategies to manage all aspects of their speech.
