History
Established in 2016.
Vocalize LLC was created to fill an unmet need in the local Parkinson's community by leading voice practice and social support groups via video-teleconference to connect people living with degenerative neurological conditions who were unable to drive to in-person resources. I've been specializing in the treatment and management of voice, speech, and swallowing disorders since 2009 and take great joy in connecting and leading these individuals to learn to accept themselves through the inclusion within social groups, better understand their condition, and be proactive in managing their speech therapy related symptoms.
Meet the Business Owner: Matt M.
My professional purpose in life is understanding and meeting the needs of people living with complex and commonly misunderstood medical conditions that affect their voice, speech, swallowing, and/or breathing ability(ILS/VCD). I enjoy hearing my clients stories, validating their feelings/concerns, and providing effective treatment and resources as they work through their challenges. Speech Therapy is about treating a person with a condition NOT treating a condition.
