Heather Broom

SLP - Speech Language Pathologist

Specializing in our 3 and older population - East Valley Phoenix, Arizona

Hello, my name is Heather and I am a Speech Language Pathologist, specializing in pediatrics. I am originally from Minnesota, however I moved to Arizona to escape the cold. I attended the University of Northern Iowa where I received both my bachelor's and master's degrees. In my free time I love to get outside, read, and spend time with my fur babies, Tilly and Desi. My favorite part of my job is seeing my clients reach their goals and milestones, and having the honor to be a part of that process.

Madison Griffith

M.S. CCC-SLP
Speech Language Pathologist

Specializing in our 3 and older population - West Valley Phoenix, Arizona

Hi, I'm Madi, a Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in the K-12 population. I am originally from Colorado and have called Arizona home for the past 5 years. I earned my Masters of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Emerson College in August 2021.

I am passionate about helping children develop communication and feeding skills through child-led, play-based activities. I value collaboration with families, educators, and other professionals to support the whole child through an individualized, meaningful approach.

Outside of work, you can usually find me spending time with my husband and snuggling my kitties. I enjoy photography, staying active, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen

Janessa Gojkovich

SLPA - Speech Language Pathologist Assistant

Specializing in our 3 and older population - East Valley Phoenix, Arizona

My name is Janessa Gojkovich. I have 6 years of experience as an SLPA, both in high school and elementary school settings. I LOVE working with tiny humans. They keep you on your toes and make life a lot of fun. It may not be a certified specialty, but I do feel like one of my strengths is being able to be present with kids on their level. When I’m not at work, I am spending time with my husband. We both were athletes growing up, so we enjoy watching sports. My husband also enjoys fishing, and I’m happy to be on the water, in a boat. I am also a photographer and love getting to know new people through my own art. I’m excited to be joining Tiny Tots this year and getting to meet so many wonderful families. My last name is a tough one, so I’ve shortened it to “Mrs. G,” or even Miss Janessa. Whatever is easiest for the kiddos.‍

Claudia Plascencia

SLPA - Speech Language Pathologist Assistant

Specializing in our 3 and older population - East Valley Phoenix, Arizona

Hi there! I’m Claudia- My passion for working in the therapy field began from the personal experience of having a sibling with profound special needs who is non speaking. In addition to my personal experience, my professional experience includes years of working special education, behavior therapy and as an SLPA. I truly strive to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. My personal experience allows me the unique opportunity to be able to understand the family dynamic first hand and allows me to serve and advocate for those I work with. My goal walking into a family’s home is to bring a warm and friendly presence, ready to make the therapy experience a positive and effective one. I look forward to working alongside all the families and kiddos that cross my path!
