Carissa Gorman

Speech Pathologist

My sole goal is to improve the quality of life for my clients and their loved ones.

I offer client-centred speech pathology services for children and adults, though I mainly work with autistic children and their parents.

My core focuses are based on your real-life challenges — I care for your family and outcomes first and foremost.

About My Service

I’m a straightforward gal operating a single pathologist practice.

I start with where you’re at and work towards agreed common goals. Usually, this entails helping parents and children progress, so they can enjoy the best quality of life possible.

Of course, everything I do is backed by clinical expertise and I've pretty much seen it all over the years.

I’m also a parent of autistic children, and so I’m often able to draw on personal experience when considering outcomes for your family.

Keeping You In The Know

I strive to provide clear, concise and family-friendly information in all my communications with you.

I encourage questions, feedback and interaction during our sessions.

When providing written reports or clinical letters, I will take the time to explain results and assist you in understanding recommendations for your family.

Progress Happens Between Appointments

I encourage family members, support workers and carers to be present and involved in our sessionsI want you to be equipped to help your loved one at home and in the community.

I'll help you to incorporate the therapy activities throughout your existing routines. I want your loved one to be able to do the things they can do in our clinics, in their everyday life.

Collaboration and teamwork are standard practice at Promise Speech Pathology. I strive to stay in touch with other providers assisting you or your loved one in achieving your goals.
