Client-centered, customized, and compassionate support along the journey to more confident communication

Help for speech, language, stuttering and literacy in Ottawa

I’m Theresa Patenaude and I’m a speech-language pathologist. I opened a private practice in September 2022 to offer children and adolescents help with speech, language, stuttering and literacy in both English and French. I am located centrally in Ottawa, Ontario and my clinic is in a dedicated space within my home.

Je m’appelle Theresa Patenaude et je suis une orthophoniste. J’ai commencé à travailler en pratique privé en septembre 2022 pour offrir des services aux enfants et aux adolescents en anglais et en français. Je travaille avec des clients qui ont besoin d’appui pour la prononciation des mots, le développement du langage, le bégaiement, et les habiletés en lecture et en écriture. Je demeure centralement à Ottawa, en Ontario. Mon bureau se trouve dans un espace dédié à domicile.

SERVICES

I offer in-person services at my home, centrally located near Billing’s Bridge. There is a separate, dedicated space for my practice within my home. I also offer virtual therapy sessions. I provide all of my services in English and in French.

I offer comprehensive assessments to guide treatments. These can be called diagnostic assessments where very specific aspects of speech, language, or literacy are identified for systematic and explicit intervention. In my practice, I collaborate with my clients to determine their goals for communication. I build a positive therapeutic relationship and use evidence based treatments that are tailored to each client and family. I work with individuals in the following areas:

  • Stuttering (children, adolescents)
  • Reading and writing (children or adolescents who may or may not be diagnosed with dyslexia)
  • Speech sound production (e.g., articulation of speech, children & adolescents)
  • Language growth and development (toddlers, preschoolers, school-age)
