I’ve enjoyed attending therapy for a while. Any advice where I can go from here?

Members are welcome to utilize the CST groups however they see fit and remain attending as often as they wish. We recognize there is no “one size fits all” approach to speech therapy as each person has their own unique stuttering journey. We empower clients and graduate student clinicians to contribute to an environment that is inclusive of all people, all types of stuttering and where every voice matters. We always welcome past and present members to attend group meetings to keep learning more about stuttering, enjoy the CST’s resources, support graduate students’ training, and continue fostering relationships with other members.
