Service Areas | Speech Therapy for Adults

Speech

Do you avoid pronouncing certain words? Maybe it's because there are sounds that you didn't master when you were younger or maybe there are a few sounds that are puzzling you because you learned English later in life. In both cases, you can change the way you speak as an adult. Let us show you how. Our experienced team of speech-language pathologists provide speech therapy for adults, including training and coaching for lisps, accent modification, articulation and general enunciation. We've been successfully helping Toronto residents perfect their speech and improve their confidence since 2012 - there's no concern too small or too complex. It's easy to get in touch with us to discuss your goals and we're happy to help. If you'd like to learn more about speech therapy or accent modification for adults, read more...

Stuttering

Are you struggling with getting the words out? Is stuttering impacting your personal and professional relationships? Perhaps you want to become more fluent, continue where you left off in another stuttering therapy program, or develop a deeper acceptance around your stuttering or stammering. If so, we can help you get there. Since 2012, we've been providing stuttering therapy to adults using (always) research-based methods and there are a few different approaches we can explore depending on what you hope to achieve with our work. Schedule a time to meet with us to find out about the different stuttering treatment options that are available to you and how we can help you to achieve your goals through stuttering therapy. If you'd like to learn more about stuttering therapy for adults, read more...

Voice

Are you putting your best voice forward? What is your voice telling the world about you? Are you concerned that your voice isn't matching you, or working the way you need it to? If so, voice therapy may be right for you. Many Torontonians are choosing voice therapy to improve the quality of their voice, their sound, and their confidence. Whether you are a professional who needs a commanding and confident voice, a singer, an actor, or a person in transition, our speech-language pathology team can help you to achieve your voice goals through voice therapy within our clinic or online. We've been practising since 2012 and will work with you, the latest research, and your personal goals to develop your ideal voice. If you'd like to learn more about voice therapy for adults, read more...

Cognitive

Do you have a condition that impacts your cognitive skills, like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)? Perhaps you are struggling with attention, memory, or problem-solving as a result of your condition and you're ready to take an active step toward improving. We've been working with adults with ADHD, Autism, concussions and brain injuries since 2012 and understand how frustrating it can be to live with the symptoms of an executive function difficulty or impairment. At Well Said: Toronto Speech Therapy, we provide coaching and therapy for adults with ADHD, Aspergers (now considered ASD), concussions, and TBI who require a personalized treatment program and an expert therapist.

Medical

Are you recovering from a stroke, or living with a medical condition that affects your speech?

Whatever the case, through our research-based medical speech therapy/treatment programs, we can help you improve your speech and get you back to enjoying conversations again. There's no concern too small or too complex to target. If you are a medical professional, looking for information on referrals, click here.

Perhaps you are preparing for a new position that you are qualified for, but you have a feeling that your communication is holding you back? We know that how you pitch your ideas at work really matters. Your voice, word choice, body language, and speech style truly affect how well you will be received and this is why we've been working, since 2012, with professionals and academics in Toronto: to perfect speech and communication skills.

Working with The Team

Established in 2012, we are an experienced team of Toronto-based speech-language pathologists (speech therapists) who can help you to improve your speech, social, and communication skills. We are focused and adult-centric (i.e., exclusively adults) meaning we especially understand the nuances of training teens and adults. By focusing on working with adults for the past eight years, we've become highly knowledgeable, effective, and successful at troubleshooting adult communication concerns. We understand the daily communication challenges faced by professionals and up-and-coming professionals and we offer a safe and confidential space to try out and practice new communication habits. We build on your existing communication skills and systematically troubleshoot speech, social, or communication skills in each one-to-one therapy session, ultimately helping you to feel entirely confident when you speak.
