Expressable will match you with a licensed speech therapist who's experienced in your area of need and available when you are.
Get startedHi! I'm Michelle. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in 2022. I became an SLP because I've always loved both science and teaching, and this field brings them together in a really meaningful way. I'm passionate about helping people communicate in the way that works best for them because communication builds confidence and connection. I want to help each person reach their full potential with support that's tailored just for them. I worked in settings such as: Clinic, School, Hospital, and ECI. I have attended the Play Project with Gestalt Language training. I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, routines-based, sensory integrated, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

Get started
Private payHSA/FSA Major insurance plansIt’s never too late to start speech therapy. Adults commonly receive speech therapy to overcome problems from childhood that weren’t properly treated (such as a stutter or articulation issue), treat speech and language issues due to illness or injury, such as a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or ALS, improve communication skills due to a clinical diagnosis, such as aphasia, acquired apraxia of speech, or dysarthria, improve confidence and communication skills in the workplace, such as public speaking and interviewing, reduce accents that are regional or based on your country of origin, modify the pitch, intonation, and quality of your voice, and more!
The duration of speech therapy is different for everyone, and it depends on several factors. This includes the type of speech disorder or communication challenge, the frequency of speech therapy sessions, how often you practice the skills taught in speech therapy at home, your personal or professional goals, any underlying medical conditions, and more.
Expressable online speech therapy offers flexible hours, including mornings, nights, and weekends, so you can schedule speech therapy around your life–not the other way around. And because it’s online, there’s no commute time involved.
Speech therapy sessions are focused on each client’s care plan, and the activities done during sessions always relate to those goals. So, if a person is in speech therapy to better pronounce the /s/ sound, they’ll begin by learning how to make the sound by itself and work up to practicing it in conversation. Or if someone wants to improve the quality of their voice, their speech therapist will teach them appropriate breathing and vocal exercises. The therapist will aim to do as many trials of each exercise as possible, in order to make the most of each session.
Your speech therapist will constantly be measuring and assessing your response to these exercises. When needed, they’ll make changes to your treatment plan to help you make progress as quickly as possible. Regardless of your goals, your speech therapist will always provide practice activities to complete at home between sessions.
Expressable currently accepts many of the largest insurance companies, and we’re actively working on contracting with new plans across the country. We also offer affordable private pay options and accept HSAs/FSAs for those who do not have insurance coverage or prefer to pay out-of-pocket.
