I believe that how we feel inside is a direct correlation with what we project outside for the world to see. 
So before I dive into any clinical analysis, I try and discover who someone really is:

Where are they from?

Where do they live?

Who do they live with?

What are the things that make them happy?

What are the things that make them sad?


Questions like these go a long way in helping me build trust and establish a relationship built on personal insights. This approach has done wonders in helping me get the best results possible with many clients over the years.

CommuniKATE, PLLC has provided our district with the solution of providing  speech language pathology services to our alternative education programs, our High school and our charter schools. I want to note that CommuniKATE's teletherapy techniques resolved our service needs for three years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their evaluation skills though teletherapy has withstood the challenges of due process procedures. Our District Services more than 2000 students identified as requiring IDEA services. We have appreciated the professional support we have received over the years and highly recommend that you consider their service.

Katie Lamin worked with both my sons for several years and they both truly blossomed with her support. Mrs. Lamin helped my children become more social as well as verbal allowing them to develop friendships with great play skills.  It never felt like therapy.  She helped our kids find their voice. Katie Lamin has an incredible balance of professionalism and compassion.

Katie is wonderful! She has helped my 16 year old son not only with his speech, but with his overall self confidence as well. His stuttering has improved tremendously through the various techniques they practice every week. He looks forward to their sessions and is always in a better mood afterwards.

Katie is the best speech teacher. She helped me with my speech, pronouncing words and talking slowly. I will miss her.

As a parent I have not come across many speech therapists that take an interest that a child has and use that in their sessions. My son has many interests and over the summer they discussed golf and sailing terms which my son raved about. This keeps him interested. Not just working on his speech but also learning something new.

Katie is great to work with. At first I was unsure how receiving speech services virtually would have a positive outcome but my daughter enjoyed every session and gained confidence in her speech and language skills! I was grateful to have Katie be a part of her speech journey!
