Adult Stuttering
Evaluations & Therapy

My name is Alexa Young

Our adult stuttering evaluation begins with a thoughtful, in-depth conversation to understand your unique communication goals, challenges, and priorities. While we carefully assess your speech patterns and any related behaviors, our primary focus is on the broader picture—how stuttering impacts your confidence, daily interactions, and emotional well-being. We take a holistic approach, looking beyond the surface of speech to support meaningful, lasting growth. Using these insights, we collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan that helps you communicate with greater ease, authenticity, and confidence.

​

Our therapy sessions are designed to provide individualized support that empowers you to communicate with greater ease and confidence. We believe in a client-centered approach, allowing you to guide the focus of each session based on what matters most to you. Whether you're looking to strengthen your communication in social, professional, or personal settings, build confidence, or navigate moments of tension with more ease, we tailor every session to your unique goals.

​

Our approach is collaborative and supportive, ensuring you feel prepared to communicate authentically in all areas of life. We are committed to providing a safe, encouraging space where you can explore your strengths, develop new strategies, and achieve meaningful progress.
