Hi! I think it's great that you are looking to start therapy! It actually helped me significantly with my stutter. When I went speech therapy a few years ago, I described my sessions as 50% speech the...

Therapists are pretty understanding, although they won't know anything about stuttering. I wouldn't worry about. I also think disclosing is a good idea. The only thing I would be a little wary about i...

Has anyone taken speech therapy in college?

Has anyone taken speech therapy in college? I'm a college freshman and my stutter has been the worst for a few months now. My mom really wants me to look into speech therapy again, but I'm really nerv...

It was great for me but I also found a really good therapist who knew what she was doing. It was hard at first and it didn’t really “work” or feel right but eventually I found what worked for me and i...

Aw thank you so much. I will have to try this next session, I'm so happy I got some really good responses! You must be a great therapist too...

Sorry, I haven't been on reddit in a few days so I just saw this now. Really want to validate what you're saying about HCRI - although I've heard some people describe that program as being beneficia...

Looking for advice

Looking for advice My fiancé stutters and he’s been worried that it’s getting worse. He’s stuttered since he was little after an emotionally traumatic event and we are looking for therapy options tha...

I would also ask her how long she has been an SLP? Is stuttering what she solely does in her practice. Keep in mind that stuttering is only one avenue on being an SLP. If it were me OP, I would seek ...

First let me say I’m sorry you are hurting so much. Please have hope because stuttering, while not necessarily “curable,” can subside an amazing amount and be much less disruptive. I’m a ...

It appears to be a fair price. Assuming that the doctor has the skills she claims. You should ask her what she feels she can do for you. If there are any clients that have presented similar to you tha...

Hard disagree with this one buddy. The best speech therapist I ever had stuttered, but the techniques she taught me helped her to speak fluently when needed. Knowing that she could empathise with my e...

Everybody has an option, whether they choose to listen to me or not is nothing to do with u, they can decide with their own sense. I am saying therapist who hadn’t been stuttered shouldn’t cure people...

I've seen people say this on this sub before and it blows my mind how incredibly dumb it is. Licensed speech therapists go through university to receive degrees in speech pathology. The also have year...

I am not saying all speech therapists are scam, some are. If ur therapist used to stutter and he overcome it then of course he knows what he about to do. If ur therapist didn’t experience stuttering t...

There are speech therapists that stutter. Stephan SLP is a good example. Most SLP’s don’t do much fluency work and stuttering isn’t an easy area to address. Therapy isn’t linear— Stephan SLP is exce...

Well i had been in speech therapy for a while. But last year i worked with someone new and we got along perfectly. She felt like a friend, so all the techniques and assignments i had to do felt easier...

Hi Steelspy. Agree with everything here. I'm not a student, but I supervise students in externships focused on stuttering, and have seen the changes in the past 20+ years. Unfortunately there's sti...

I'm concerned that you're coming here with this question. Stutterers get a bad taste in their mouth from inadequate speech therapy. Many of us see public school speech therapists, then other speech t...

I agree and that's why I said finding a good therapist may be the hardest part. But there are absolutely SLPs out there who get it, they're just unfortunately few and far between. ...

Hi ! Thank you for your response. It means a lot to me. I have heard similar situation from other who have talked to me about their stuttering. If you consider speech therapy in the future, I hope tha...
