Our Services
we offer private-pay, teletherapy services in NJ, NY, CA, and TX, and parent coaching across the US.
parent coaching for preschool stuttering
Parents are one of the most important parts of successful preschool stuttering therapy. Our evidence-based approach helps reduce the intensity and struggle of stuttering while giving parents the knowledge and confidence to know what to say and do to support their child.
Don’t wait and see. Early support can make a meaningful difference— yes, even if your pediatrician told you to wait.
we also treat cluttering & atypical disfluencies for all ages
stuttering therapy for kids
Many children who stutter get stuck in speech therapy without seeing meaningful progress. Parents may panic when stuttering increases or changes, unsure of what to do. And kids can begin to feel like therapy “isn’t working.”
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Our stutter-affirming approach addresses not only the physical experience of stuttering, but also the ways stuttering can impact a child’s confidence, participation, emotions, and relationships.
stuttering therapy for adults
Stuttering can affect far more than the words that get stuck. It can impact confidence, relationships, work, social situations, your willingness to speak up, and ability to be yourself.
Our stutter-affirming approach helps adults better understand their stuttering, reduce the struggle and fear surrounding it, and build confidence communicating in the situations that matter most.
You don’t have to spend your life with stuttering at the forefront.
The First Step:
We complete a 1-hour, comprehensive assessment that is focused on:
the observable characteristics of the stutter
how a person copes with stuttering and if it is helping or hurting
the experience of stuttering: thoughts & feelings
the negative impact on the person’s life
avoidance of words or speaking situations
Therapy:
Evidence-based & holistic therapy, individualized to the person’s needs. Some common goal areas are:
decreasing physical tension and struggle with stuttering
avoidance of stuttering and of speaking situations
negative thoughts and feelings (i.e., frustration, anxiety, shame)
communicative effectiveness & confidence
learning to self-advocate & what to say when people ask
Family involvement:
If your child been in speech therapy for years, but you still don’t know what they’re working towards.. you might feel helpless.
There is so much you can do to support your child, you just need to know what it is.
Here’s how we do things differently:
parent orientation sessions: sessions just for YOU to get clarity without listening ears
involvement in therapy: your child’s therapist may ask you to participate in sessions or part of sessions
preschool parent training is widely considered the primary evidence-based approach for preschool-aged children who stutter for two main reasons:
preschoolers spend the vast majority of their time communicating with caregivers — not in the therapy room.
the strongest positive outcomes typically come from therapy that supports the child and equips parents with responsive, supportive communication strategies.
FAQs:
Why see a speech therapist that specializes in stuttering?
My child gets speech in school, why should we see you?
Many families come to us after seeing minimal progress with years and years of speech therapy or when they feel conflicted about the therapy approach their child’s SLP is using.
This is because children who stutter benefit most from therapy that is provided by an SLP who is trained in treating stuttering specifically — not just general speech therapy.
At our practice, stuttering and cluttering is all we do. Our approach is evidence-based and up to date with the most recent research and findings for what works and what feels good to people who stutter.
Why would I pay privately when I could use my insurance elsewhere?
Families choose to work with us through private-pay therapy because it allows for:
Highly individualized treatment rather than insurance-driven models
Direct access to specialized expertise in stuttering
Longer sessions & parent involvement
Flexible, relationship-based treatment plans
No long waitlists or insurance restrictions
Our goal is not to keep children in therapy forever — it’s to provide meaningful, effective support so people who stutter can see lasting changes & be discharged.
Will teletherapy work for me or my child?
Teletherapy is highly effective for stuttering therapy when delivered collaboratively and intentionally.
Preschoolers WILL NOT be expected to be sitting in front of a computer with a therapist. Preschool stuttering therapy is primarily for PARENTS.
Virtual therapy allows families to access specialized stuttering support from home with:
No commuting or waiting rooms
Easier consistency for busy families
Sessions integrated into your child’s natural environment
We are out-of-network with insurances. However, we provide superbills for reimbursement.
