Speech-Language Pathologist in Denver, CO

Embody Language Yoga Therapy

Holistic Aphasia Treatment for Improved Wellbeing

Katie Cassady, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS, C-IAYT is a Certified Yoga Therapist and Brain Injury Specialist with nearly 20 years of experience treating neurologic disorders as a speech pathologist. Having spent the last five years treating persons with aphasia in the context of an intensive aphasia therapy program, Katie found herself inspired to develop a unique offering that fills a gap often experienced by persons with aphasia and their loved ones. Mental health and coping support is limited for a population that struggles with verbal communication, and while speech pathologists are encouraged to provide counseling within their sessions, patients often feel the pressure to work solely on language during speech therapy. Additionally, SLPs may not feel equipped to address things like grief, anger, depression, and anxiety as they relate to their patients’ language disorders. Embody Language Yoga Therapy is a bridge that supports aphasia recovery through practices and interventions beyond language therapy with a focus on reconnecting to self and finding peace in the present, with the potential added side effect of improved access to language. Offering private yoga therapy sessions in addition to virtual yoga-infused aphasia support groups.
