Brigitte Marenin
MS, CCC-SLP
I moved to Oregon from Southern California with my family (husband, daughter, and mini schnauzer) in 2017, and have fallen in love with the PNW! All the hiking trails, lakes, farms, and unique experiences we’ve explored continue to amaze us.
As an adult neurorehabilitation specialist, my journey began in the adult aphasia clinic during graduate school and extended through my clinical fellowship in an adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF), followed by clinical roles in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. These foundational experiences built a strong bedrock for my specialized practice. Extensive continuing education—focused on supporting adults across complex medical diagnoses while delivering compassionate therapeutic interventions, in a non-hospital setting, driven by sound clinical reasoning—is what motivated me to open my own practice.
My mission is to provide personalized care that empowers adults with neurological conditions to regain independence, strengthen communication, and reconnect with the activities and relationships that matter most.
Through a collaborative and outcome-driven approach, I strive to meet each person where they are, honoring their goals, values, and lived experiences. I also partner with families and caregivers, equipping them with practical tools to support meaningful progress beyond the therapy setting.
At the core of my practice is a belief that improvement is always possible, and that with the right strategies, support, and guidance, individuals can build skills that enhance quality of life and foster lasting independence.
When I’m not partnering with people to support their challenges, you can find me exploring Oregon and the many hiking trails it offers. Also, anyone who knows me understands my motto, “life is enjoyed with a delicious cup (or two) of coffee and great company”.

After more than 25 years working for both large corporations and agile start ups in an enterprise sales capacity, I decided to focus on our family business, and help my wife start and grow her own private practice. It was an easy decision.
For years, I have seen how people react to Brigitte. Instead of treating individuals like patients with deficits, she speaks to them as equals. She has a rare ability to translate complex diagnoses and treatments into clear, understandable language. Beyond her clinical expertise, people love working with her because she is genuinely kind, compassionate, and relentlessly focused on tangible, positive outcomes.
Today, I manage the day to day operations and strategic growth of the practice. But I don’t do it just because she’s my wife - I do it because the world needs more practitioners like Brigitte. I see the impact of her work. And if I do my job right, we can bring exceptional care to many more people.
