Kara Chapman

M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist, Registered and Licensed, CA
ASHA certified

After working in the business world for many years I learned about the field of speech and language pathology! Once I realized I could incorporate my passion of helping others and working with children I returned to California State University to complete my master’s degree in the field.

During my time at CSUS I gained experience working with clients and families as well as assisting with the U.C. Davis Cleft and Craniofacial Reconstructive team, volunteering with the CSUS stroke support group, and working in the scheduling department. Interning at an elementary school in Roseville, CA followed by California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco allowed me to grow my skill set. After graduation I accepted a school position in Livermore, CA where I served preschool, elementary and middle school students.

Growing Healthy Seasons became my home in 2015. Since that time, I have been fortunate enough to serve school-based, medical and private clients and their families in our clinics as well as online. I truly enjoy my role as a clinician, as well as a supervisor for SLPA’s and mentor for our amazing speech team! I am passionate about helping families and children love life and live it fully!
