Welcome!

I’m Melyssa Giangarlo, a certified Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP) and board certified music therapist (MT-BC). I hold a bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy from Duquesne University and a master’s degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from New York University. I have experience working with both adult and pediatric populations with formal training at New York University and Weill Cornell Medicine for craniofacial speech disorders. Most recently, I have been working with children and families in early intervention programs (birth to 3 years) as well as children Pre-K to 5th grade both privately and in schools. I am incredibly dedicated to serving members of my community and enjoy providing individualized services to children and their families. My background in music therapy allows me to offer a creative and multi-disciplinary approach during sessions.
