When mental health meets communication

Did you know that psychotherapy and speech therapy often work best together?
 
As a mental health therapist in New Jersey, I often collaborate with speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This arises when clients have to navigate social communication challenges, selective mutism, anxiety that impacts verbal expression, and other speech or language challenges.
 
In this video, I discussed this need for collaboration with speech-language pathologist Laura Grube:

Where speech therapy supports language skills, processing, and articulation, psychotherapy addresses the emotional, behavioral, and psychological layers beneath communication patterns.
 
Together, we support the whole person: Mind, brain, and voice.
 
If you need to talk to me about how psychotherapy or speech therapy, get in contact.
