Therapy focuses on improving communication skills that are affected by cognitive issues, often due to brain injury/Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Dementia or neurological conditions. Therapy targets improving memory, attention, problem-solving, and organizational skills that impact daily communication and independently completing everyday tasks.
Voice therapy is designed for individuals experiencing voice disorders (i.e. hoarseness, breathiness, pain, or fatigue while speaking). Therapy targets vocal exercises that strengthen the vocal cords, improve pitch, volume, and quality of the voice. Techniques also involve teaching proper vocal hygiene and using strategies to reduce strain.
Dysphagia or swallowing therapy, targets improving swallowing safely. Our therapy focuses on exercises to strengthen the muscles of the mouth and throat, strategies to make swallowing safer and easier, and dietary modifications.
Communication/Language therapy focuses on communication impairments, affecting the ability to speak, understand, or read. Therapy sessions focus on improving language skills like word finding skills.
Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult to articulate sounds, syllables, and words. This disorder is not due to muscle weakness but rather a difficulty in the brain's ability to plan the movement of lips, jaw, and tongue necessary for speech. Therapy targets the retraining of oral-motor movements through structured repetition and practice. Exercises focus on sequencing and coordination of muscle movements for speech, along with rhythm and rate techniques to improve speech production.
Therapy is for both non-native speakers and professionals seeking clearer speech, our program focuses on pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm to improve speech clarity.
Gender Affirming Voice Therapy is designed to support clients in the transgender and gender-diverse community. Our training approach helps our clients align their preferred vocal expression with their gender identity in a safe and supportive environment.
