Katerina Pesigna

Katerina is a Speech-Language Pathologist, who is a member of the Ordre des orthophonistes et audiologistes du Québec (OOAQ). She completed her Masters Degree at McGill University where she developed a particular interest in neurologically-based speech and language disorders. As a
graduate student, she gained clinical experience with diverse populations, ranging from children in private clinics and the school setting to working with adults in the hospital setting.

In addition to working in private practice, she also worked at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Her experience in this setting has allowed her to increase her knowledge of working with stroke and brain tumour patients, as well those with neurological conditions which can impact speech, language and communication abilities (i.e. Myasthenia Gravis, ALS, Parkinson’s Disease, Guillain-Barré Syndrome). Her passion lies in working with Functional Speech and Language Disorders, which often require a unique therapeutic approach given their etiology.

She believes that the ability to communicate with one another, in a variety of modalities, is at the core of human connection. Her hope is that she can work with you to not only achieve your goals, but also to foster that connection to the best of our abilities. She works with both adults and children and whether difficulties lie in speech disorders, fluency/stuttering, swallowing, language, cognitive-communication or voice disorders, she hopes to give individuals and families the support that they need to thrive.

She looks forward to meeting and working with you!
