About
Have You Ever Wondered:
"Why does it hurt to talk, especially when I'm anxious or stressed?"
"Why do I always feel like I have a lump in my throat?"
"Why is my voice sounding raspy or hoarse?"
In much the same way that stress, anxiety, or trauma can create imbalances in our emotional and mental well-being, they can also affect how we use our voice. These emotional challenges may lead to vocal strain, tension, and discomfort, which can, over time, impact your voice quality. If left unaddressed, these issues may contribute to physical changes in the vocal cords, such as nodules or other irregularities, which can further affect the clarity and sound of your voice.
A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) is trained to assess how your voice is being used and can help you develop healthier, more sustainable vocal habits. Through personalized voice therapy, you can learn techniques to reduce strain, improve vocal quality, and support emotional and physical healing.
