Katrina Balangue is a certified speech-language pathologist and pediatric communication expert passionate about helping families find their voice through the power of play. She founded Tryumph Speech Therapy to move away from the high-pressure, numbers-driven side of healthcare and create a space where children and their caregivers receive the slow, intentional, and personalized care they deserve.
Katrina’s journey into speech therapy began nearly two decades ago, driven by a fascination with the connection between the brain and human connection. In 2026, Katrina continues her 15th year of clinical practice and she has dedicated her career to understanding how we communicate from the very beginning and beyond. Her experience spans world-renowned centers like the University Center for Language and Literacy at Michigan and the Callier Center at UT Dallas, where she saw firsthand how early, compassionate intervention can transform a child’s world.
She holds a Master of Science in Communication Disorders from the University of Texas at Dallas and maintains her national certification (CCC-SLP) through ASHA. Katrina is also a University of Michigan alum, where she studied Linguistics and Brain, Behavior, & Cognitive Sciences.
Katrina teaches from a holistic, client-centered lens, with a focus on preverbal communication, sensory processing, and the joy of play-based learning. Whether in a living room or a community playgroup, she is deeply committed to empowering parents with the tools they need to feel confident and connected to their babies throughout their developmental journey.
