Real-Life Communication Practice in the Heart of NYC

At Dr. Fluency USA, our treatment model integrates fluency skills into everyday communication environments. We don’t just focus on clinical exercises—we prepare our clients to thrive in the dynamic, fast-paced communication scenarios that define New York City. Our clinicians simulate conversations such as ordering coffee at a busy café, navigating small talk in elevators, or handling high-pressure presentations in corporate offices.

Role-play, structured exposure, and public speaking simulations are all part of our functional fluency training. This city-based approach ensures that each client builds confidence to communicate in their real environment, not just inside the therapy room. For teens and adults, we also offer in-community speaking assignments, such as fluency fieldwork in subways, retail stores, or networking events.

Addressing the Emotional Impact of Stuttering

Many individuals who stutter also deal with emotional and psychological challenges such as anxiety, shame, or fear of judgment. We understand that stuttering is not just a physical speech disruption—it impacts identity, self-expression, and emotional well-being.

That’s why our therapy includes counseling-informed methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-acceptance techniques. These methods help clients:

• Reframe negative thoughts about stuttering

• Reduce performance-related anxiety

• Build healthy self-talk habits

• Set realistic fluency goals

We believe that successful stuttering therapy requires emotional growth alongside physical speech control. By developing resilience, our clients learn to speak with less fear—even when stuttering occurs.

Speech Therapy That Adapts to Your Life

We understand that life in New York is busy, competitive, and ever-changing. That’s why our therapy is built around flexibility. Whether you’re a professional with a packed calendar, a student balancing classes, or a parent juggling your child’s schedule, we provide tailored options that fit your life.

Flexible options include:

• Evening and weekend appointments

• 100% virtual therapy for remote access

• On-demand intensives during school breaks or PTO windows

• As-needed booster sessions to maintain fluency

We also offer hybrid models—clients may begin with in-person evaluations and continue with remote therapy, or attend group sessions on-site while receiving individual coaching virtually.

Progress Tracking and Measurable Results

Each client’s progress is measured using both clinical tools and self-reported communication outcomes. We track:

• Frequency and type of stuttering events

• Speaking confidence ratings

• Rate of speech (words per minute)

• Real-world speaking benchmarks (e.g., giving a presentation)

We use video recordings, speech journals, and software feedback to ensure consistent progress. Clients also receive a customized Fluency Tracker Dashboard, which provides an overview of milestones, goals achieved, and areas to focus on.

Our clients regularly report:

• Increased verbal participation at work and school

• Improved confidence in phone and in-person conversations

• Greater willingness to speak spontaneously

• Decreased avoidance of challenging speaking situations

Supporting Parents and Families

For children and teens, therapy is most effective when families are engaged. We offer:

• Parent coaching to reinforce fluency skills at home

• Sibling and peer support sessions

• Collaboration with teachers, SLPs, and counselors

• Home assignments that are fun and age-appropriate

We empower families to become allies in their child’s communication journey. From setting realistic expectations to building a positive speech environment, we equip caregivers with tools that make a real difference.

Corporate and Professional Communication Coaching

In a competitive city like New York, your ability to speak clearly, confidently, and persuasively can impact your career growth. Our corporate speech coaching helps professionals who stutter:

• Prepare for job interviews

• Practice pitch delivery and sales calls

• Navigate team meetings and networking events

• Strengthen leadership presence

We also support HR departments and DEI teams in accommodating employees who stutter, offering corporate workshops and executive speech coaching tailored to stuttering-friendly communication.

Stuttering and Bilingual or Multilingual Speakers

New York City is one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world. We frequently work with clients who stutter in more than one language, and we understand the unique challenges that bilingual speakers face.

Our therapists are trained in multilingual fluency treatment and conduct evaluations that distinguish between normal second-language disfluency and clinical stuttering. We design therapy that supports fluency across languages, ensuring that clients can speak confidently whether in English, Spanish, Mandarin, or beyond.

Common Myths About Stuttering—Debunked

Many clients come to us with misconceptions that hold them back. Here are a few we address regularly:

• Myth: People stutter because they’re nervous.
  Fact: Anxiety may increase stuttering, but it is not the cause.

• Myth: Stuttering goes away with age.
  Fact: While some children outgrow it, persistent stuttering into adulthood requires structured therapy.

• Myth: There’s no cure, so therapy doesn’t help.
  Fact: While stuttering may not disappear completely, therapy can dramatically reduce its impact and empower fluent, confident communication.

Educating our clients—and the public—is part of our mission to remove the stigma surrounding stuttering.
