About Patricia

Patricia Morales is a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Joy Therapy and Learning Center, fluent in both Spanish and English. Patricia has worked with children since 2021. She received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology. Born and raised in Cuba, she brings a strong foundation in cross-cultural communication to her work with children and families, and she has experience in both school settings and the private sector. Her area of expertise is fluency, with a focus on supporting children who stutter and helping them develop effective communication strategies. She enjoys creating a supportive and comfortable environment where children can build confidence in their communication while learning strategies that improve their overall fluency and ease of communication, and she is trained in the S.O.S. approach to feeding.

Patricia chose pediatrics because she genuinely loves children and finds it rewarding to be part of their growth and development, helping them build skills that make a meaningful difference in their everyday lives. She chose Joy for its positive work culture and the wonderful people she works alongside. Patricia is a licensed speech-language pathologist in the State of Georgia. Outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, whether they are exploring the outdoors on a hike or relaxing at home with their two cats. She also loves reading and making time for the things that bring balance, joy, and connection to her life.

About speech therapy at Joy Therapy

Speech and language therapy at our practice addresses how a child understands language and how they express it, which are two different skills that can be affected independently. Our speech-language pathologists work on speech clarity, vocabulary and grammar, social communication, fluency, and augmentative communication, and several also hold additional training in oral motor and feeding therapy.

Parents are partners in every service we provide. You are welcome in sessions, and you should expect to leave with something specific to continue at home rather than a general instruction to practice more.
