Justin Yehle

Hi! I’m Justin. I pursued speech-language pathology because of a deep belief in the transformative power of human connection. I am driven by the opportunity to build genuine rapport with individuals of all backgrounds and unlock the unique potential within every person I serve.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, supporting clients across the lifespan with diverse communication needs. My therapy approach is functional, strengths-based, routines-based, and client- and family-centered. Whether working with adults or children, I prioritize client empowerment and self-advocacy, tailoring every session to help individuals achieve meaningful independence in their daily lives.

I am particularly passionate about gender-affirming voice care, an area where I hold specialized research and clinical expertise. My Master’s thesis examined the acoustic and perceptual outcomes of vocal training for transgender women, research I put into practice while leading individual and group therapy at the University of Rhode Island’s Transgender Voice Clinic. Additionally, I have completed interdisciplinary training in specialized protocols, including the LOUD Crowd program for Parkinson’s disease and the Gateway Café for traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
