Meet the owner of Pennsylvania Speech and Swallow Therapy:

Christine Delfino, M.S., CCC-SLP, MPH

Owner & Speech-Language Pathologist

Yep, that's me!

I’ll be your personal speech therapist/coach/mentor throughout your time with Pennsylvania Speech and Swallow Therapy.

I am a trained speech-language pathologist specializing in adult speech, swallowing, and voice therapy. I earned my master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Arizona State University in 2015 and have been working with adults in medical settings ever since.

My clinical experience includes acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient speech therapy, along with extensive experience providing care through telehealth. I have advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders (dysphagia), gender-affirming voice therapy, and neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders associated with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and ALS.

I also hold a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from Drexel University, which strengthens my commitment to evidence-based practice and thoughtful, individualized care. I believe speech and swallowing therapy should be both clinically effective and meaningful to the people receiving it.

Through in-home and telehealth services, I strive to make high-quality adult speech therapy, swallowing therapy, and voice therapy accessible, flexible, and personalized to each of my client’s needs and goals.
