A speech therapy practice made for adults who stutter. Say what you want, when you want. Ask about my free 30 minute consultation.

Personal brain surgery, TBI recovery insights. Based in Chicago, serving Illinois and Texas. Ana, a speech-language pathologist of 8 years, provides personalized support for adults who stutter. Ana grew passionate about this area after she recognized a gap in dignified care for adults who didn’t fit into the typical box of speech therapy target populations. This inspired her to establish Adult Stuttering, in 2021. In late 2022, Ana faced a life-altering challenge with the sudden diagnosis of a brain tumor, leading to a profound shift in her perspective. A survivor of brain surgery, her recovery journey is uniquely shaped by her expertise in cognitive functioning as a speech therapist. This personal “extended stay” in neurodiversity has significantly influenced her approach to treating clients, ranging from children with various communication needs to her specialized focus on adults who stutter. Ana studied communication sciences and disorders at the University of Texas where she believes her passion for stuttering support was first sparked. She assisted in research in the Developmental Stuttering Lab. She then received her master’s degree at UT Dallas. Beyond her professional endeavors, Ana finds joy in pilates, classic books and exploring Chicago’s various restaurants. She is often in Texas visiting her family and enjoying Texas queso. Ana is certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association, is a Spero Ally of Stuttering, is partnered with SPACE and is a native Spanish speaker. Ana is currently strengthening her knowledge in the areas of executive functioning and cognitive rehab. In the future, she is looking forward to using her combined professional and personal experience to provide support for traumatic brain injury survivors and guidance for their loved ones.

CHICAGO: March Green Social is ready! 🍀

Green Social (No. 23)♥️

(You may have noticed I pulled a fast one on you. There is a date change!)

Chicago adults who stutter, come join us in a space where stuttering isn’t a big deal.

This is an occasion where you get to show up and meet other people who stutter or clutter. THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT GROUP. You don’t have to talk about stuttering. (A lot like Fight Club)

Except, unlike fight club, you can talk about it if you want. Also, unlike Fight Club there is no fighting. Obviously.

This is fully informal, this doesn’t run like a meeting. This runs like a happy hour (purchase of drinks or coffee is available but fully optional). Come and hang out with other similarly aged adults who get it. Stuttering is a big part of your life but it’s not all of you. You’re multifaceted, you’re cool.

You can invite someone to accompany you or you can come by yourself!

Join the email list for details! Comment GREEN and I’ll send you the link!

You are wanted here and this event was truly created specifically for YOU.

A quick note, if stuttering is something that you’re having a hard time with, and seeing these emails/posts causes anxiety or stress, please know that it is okay if you’re not ready. Sometimes we have to let our brain’s and bodies get accustomed to the idea of an experience. Maybe next time, or maybe by April you’ll be ready!♥️

If stuttering therapy feels… off, you’re onto something!

Join me for my signature webinar.

WHY STUTTERING MATTERS

…and how it’s changed

Stuttering has entered a new era, and it’s here to stay. This isn’t about adding more strategies, and it’s not about “making stuttering easier”. (Spoiler alert that’s just a rebranding of fluency focused therapy)

This is about changing how you view, think, and talk about stuttering.

This is what’s needed to give HEALTHY stuttering therapy. Once we do that, it’s actually all much more simple than you’d think.

Comment WORKSHOP and I’ll send you the registration link. ♥️

I typically offer this workshop twice a year but in recent days I’ve come to the realization that it’s time to take a step back from this area. So for the final time, I invite you to my signature training.

I’ve notice that fluency strategies have gotten a makeover. They’ve been rebranded. Be selective in what you absorb.

Fellow SLPs, stuttering is much deeper than what most of us were taught. Healthy therapy requires that we completely shift how we think, feel, and talk about stuttering.

If the stuttering approaches you were taught feel… off, you’re onto something!

I only offer my signature course twice a year. Don’t miss it. Comment WORKSHOP and I’ll send you the link. ♥️

Designed for SLPs, but valuable for people who stutter, parents, educators, and community members who want to better understand the lived experience.
