AIS provides you with the tools to feel comfortable and confident in dealing with your stutter. Such an amazing group of clinicians who really understand the mental and physical components of stuttering. Through AIS, I made leaps and bounds in my speaking ability and could not recommend this place more to others who stutter.

Finding AIS and working with Heather has given me a community and supportive environment that understands the complexity of both stuttering and the stuttering journey. Their philosophy and holistic approach to stuttering therapy exemplifies the importance of addressing the mental health challenges associated with stuttering, showing that sometimes speech therapy is less about speech and more about therapy. There aren’t enough words to fully express how thankful I am, I can’t thank everyone at AIS enough for supporting me and helping me learn to embrace my stuttering and be more comfortable taking up space and time.

I've had many types of therapy for stuttering. The AIS approach has been the most helpful, by far. Highly, highly recommended.
