Stuttering (also called "stammering") is a speech difference that affects speech-motor coordination and results in a disruption of forward flowing speech. Each person who stutters is likely to experience the characteristics if stuttering differently. In our work with adults, we address three major stuttering areas: core behaviours, secondary behaviours, and unhelpful feelings, attitudes and beliefs about stuttering; and we do this in a creative, flexible, and individualized way. 

We'll begin by examining your current speech patterns and postures and assessing for optimization. If you're open to it, we will spend some time reflecting on and challenging potentially unhelpful thoughts, patterns and beliefs that have built up over time. We'll learn and apply a wide variety of techniques, borrowing from fluency shaping strategies, stuttering modification techniques, respiratory-phonatory coordination, and relaxation.
 
​Once we achieve easy-feeling, free-flowing speech together in our sessions, we'll set a plan to begin extending our "flow" to more challenging situations in a controlled way. We'll gradually extend time between sessions as you begin feeling more independent and confident in navigating stuttering moments in day-to-day life.
