Speech Therapy
Speech Articulation
We help with childhood articulation and phonological disorders as well as adult speech articulation and clarity. What you say matters and we want to help you speak as clearly and smoothly as possible.

Stuttering can impact communication confidence and success. Speech fluency is related to smoothness, rhythm, and rate of speech. We use a whole approach to stuttering that includes changing speech patterns, managing emotions related to stuttering, and carrying over speech fluency techniques into your everyday speech.

It can be difficult to change your accent on your own. We can help you reduce or modify your accent for clearer personal and professional communication.

Receptive language includes understanding what you hear, read, and observe. Main areas of receptive language are understanding questions, understanding vocabulary, following directions, understanding non-verbal language, and understanding all types of communication around you.
Expressive Language
Expressive language therapy focuses on improving your ability to express your thoughts, needs, and ideas effectively. Main areas of expressing language are answering questions, making comments, sharing experiences, and using appropriate grammar and vocabulary
Social Skills
Social skills are essential for positive and effective communication. Whether you are a teenager trying to fit in at school or an adult struggling in the workplace, we have solutions for you. We help with reading situations, understanding non-verbal language (gestures, body language, facial expressions, etc), non-literal language (sarcasm, jokes, idioms, inferences, “reading between the lines”, etc.), and making and keeping friendships.
Problem Solving
Communication is complicated. Most social misunderstandings stem from struggling to understand the problem, or another person’s perspective and motivations. Many people with language difficulties have struggles understanding expectations, causes of problems, and finding plausible solutions. We offer help with solving real-life language based problems for people of all ages.
