Staff Directory
Susan Bahadori- Speech Language Pathologist
I am a speech-language pathologist who has provided speech-language therapy to Aucocisco’s students since 2017. I have been practicing since 2009 and came to Maine after 5 years in Washington, DC. I provide individual and group sessions to students in both my office and the classroom. I love to collaborate with the talented staff at Aucocisco and make speech-language therapy as relevant as possible to students’ real-time educational needs.
I am the owner of Portland Pediatric Speech Therapy
DJ Landry, LCPC - Social Worker
I have a self designed Bachelor’s degree from USM in Creative Arts Therapy, two Master’s Degree in Integrated Expressive Arts Therapy and Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass. I am licensed in Maine as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.
I began doing this work when I was 22 years old with my focus being the use of “non verbal approaches” integrated with verbal processing. Since then, I have been trained in TFCBT, the Spiral Method of Trauma Debriefing, etc., while expanding my work into more of an intermodal approach.
After working in private practice for many years, I accepted the position of a Sweetser School Based Clinician in 2013. I have worked within school and community settings since that time with individuals and families, teachers and systems.
I joined the staff of Aucocisco School in August 2023 as the full-time Social Worker.
My mission is to assist others while witnessing their processes and offering support. I am fortunate in that I love doing this work. I enter into each day with humility and utmost respect.
