GENDER-AFFIRMING VOICE & COMMUNICATION
We are passionate about helping our clients find their voices, and are happy to offer gender-affirming voice and communication services. These are designed by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist for individuals who identify as transgender, gender non-binary, gender expansive and/or gender questioning.
The overall goal is to work with our clients so they may develop a voice and communication style that is consistent with their gender identity. Together we can work to modify any and all of the following aspects of communication:
Vocal health - Breath support - Pitch and intonation - Resonance - Articulation - Speaking rate - Language (word choice, sentence structure) - Nonverbal communication
Erica Norman, M.S. CCC-SLP/L, has specialized training and experience with safely changing voice and communication styles to be more masculine, feminine, or androgynous.
LANGUAGE BASED TUTORING
Our private, language based tutoring services are designed for those who may not qualify for services, but who still demonstrate a need for support in order to be successful and confident communicators and students across environments. These sessions are 45 - 60 minutes in length.
