Lisa has worked with kids since her days in college coaching gymnastics for children. Lisa is stimulated by watching children learn and succeed. “Their inner light shines so bright,” she says, and it's this passion that serves as the foundation of SCT's mission to support and enrich the lives of children.

For Amanda, the greatest joy as a speech pathologist comes from knowing she is making a positive difference in the lives of the children she works with. Every day she has the opportunity to change how children experience and interact with the world around them and she is passionate about helping them blossom to their highest potential – especially if it means making a big mess with food.

Although Tran was always interested in language and how it’s acquired, it was her experience working at an autism center that showed her, firsthand, the amazing impact she could have on a child’s language development. Since deciding to become an SLP, she’s never looked back and continues to be motivated by helping children understand the power of communication.

Anna's interest in pediatric speech language pathology was inspired in part by the realization that early intervention can enable unparalleled long term benefits. From her first clinical experiences in university on to her most recent clients, Anna loves working with families to help children reach their communication potential.

Camille’s favorite part of therapy is seeing a child happy and proud of their success. Coming from a background in psychology and behavior, Camille chose to pursue a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist after watching a non-verbal four year old she was nannying transition into a talkative seven year old with the help of speech therapy. Armed with endless patience and an inquisitive nature, Camille works hard to sort out what is challenging for a child and arrive at meaningful goals. With clear goals in mind, Camille loves to bring her creativity to each therapy session while keeping her kids engaged and motivated.

Anthony strives to help his community and positively change the lives of those who live in it. This passion is reflected not only in the education he has pursued, degrees in both Special Education and Speech-Language Pathology, but the way he spends his time. Anthony has experience as a Respite Care Provider caring for in-need children. He has found that as children strengthen their communication abilities, their confidence and social interactions with others improve as well. Currently, Anthony gives back through his work at Sammamish Children’s Therapy as well as his position as a Captain in the Army National Guard.

“I am always ready to pretend to be a magical creature!” Carrie wants to be constantly learning, challenging herself to try new ideas and to find new ways to motivate her clients. Her interest in the field was sparked by time spent volunteering with children in a hospital setting, and later by shadowing a speech-language pathologist. Carrie is the only SCT therapist who is a certified “Baby Cuddler.” In that undergraduate experience, Carrie provided human contact and interactions to sick and premature infants.

The love and care that Barrett puts into her therapy is apparent to everyone at the clinic, as well as her families. Barrett describes her sessions as child-driven and collaborative. Her objective is to ensure meaningful progress, mapping therapy goals into the activities that engage each client. Barrett discovered Speech-Language Pathology while studying human development, and found it blended her passions for education and nursing. She has years of experience working with clients possessing diverse diagnoses, spanning ages from birth to adolescence. Barrett is a native Washingtonian and Seahawks fan. We have come to accept that she roots for the Cougars before the Huskies.

Raylyn’s interest in child development began while in university. A child’s ability to communicate is, in her words, “foundational to successful navigation through life.” Raylyn is passionate about enabling others to communicate – by device, pictures, signing, or speaking – and achieve more effective daily interactions.
