Go from isolated to resilient
Traditional speech therapy often leaves people with aphasia feeling stuck and unheard. At LIFE Speech Pathology®, we take a different path – focusing on life participation and real-world progress, not just impairment. We understand that recovery doesn’t stop after discharge. Our approach partners you and your clinician as equal team members, working toward personal goals that truly matter. Together, we help you and your loved one rediscover the joy of communication.
Here’s how one family rediscovered confidence and connection
Helping Him Be Heard
"My husband is an engineer—he’s brilliant, but after his stroke, he couldn’t get his thoughts out. He was so frustrated. Genevieve met him where he was to build back his confidence. She showed us how to use texting to get those thoughts out when talking was too much. Now, he can communicate more, and I can tell he feels seen again. It’s a huge shift for him."

What Clients Like You Are Saying
Bringing My Wife Back
"After my wife’s stroke, it was like I was losing her. She’d sit there, quiet, barely engaging with me or the kids. I was worried that this was it. But then we started working on communication—really working on it. Now she’s talking with us again, asking questions, even sharing jokes. It’s not perfect, but it’s real progress, and for the first time, I feel like I have my wife back."
I Felt Like a Failure
"I felt like every time I tried to talk, it came out wrong, or I’d lose my train of thought. It was exhausting, so I just stopped talking as much. I realized that I was making my words worse by reacting to the difficulty. But we worked on it, bit by bit. Now, I’m talking again. I can keep up with conversations, give my opinions even in groups and over the phone. I didn’t think that would ever happen."

Let’s take the first step together.
When communication is no longer automatic, expressing what you want becomes much harder.

With over 30 years of experience supporting people with aphasia and Parkinson’s, we’ve seen firsthand how the right guidance can lead to life-changing breakthroughs.
