Liz Berman has impacted the quality of life for countless patients and their families. At the foundation of her work is a true compassion for people and a desire to find solutions. Today, she serves clients across the life span—from infants, children, and young adults to adults and seniors—always with a focus on intently listening and observing to evaluate and treat speech disorders.

 

Throughout a career spanning more than 20 years, Liz had gained valuable experience in private practice, clinical, academic, and research settings. As a naturally curious professional and lifelong learner, she has embraced each role as an opportunity to expand her knowledge and treatment options for the clients and patients she has served.

Previously, she gained valuable experience as a speech therapist at Devereaux Advanced Behavioral Health, Massachusetts General Hospital (part of Harvard Medical School), USC’s Sensory Integration Therapy Workshops, and UCLA’s Neuro-Psychiatric Institute. She was invited by the California chapter head of the Cerebral Palsy Foundation to be the speech-language liaison between parents, children, and professionals in partnership with the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon, Florida. She has also taught graduate-level workshops in oral-motor therapy at the University of Haifa in Israel.
