Evidence-Based Support for Every Voice

Voice Therapy

Voice therapy is a specialized, evidence-based form of speech therapy that targets how the voice is produced and coordinated. It can help reduce vocal strain, improve efficiency, and restore vocal function for people experiencing injury, fatigue, or change in voice quality.

I work with people experiencing:

  • Vocal fold nodules, cysts, or polyps

  • Muscle tension dysphonia or chronic laryngeal tension

  • Vocal fold paralysis, paresis, or weakness

  • Gender-affirming voice goals

Most clients begin therapy following an evaluation by an otolaryngologist (ENT) and laryngoscopy or stroboscopy. Voice therapy is offered virtually to residents of Texas, New York, and California.

Voice therapy can help you: regain reliable vocal control, reduce effort and fatigue, and rebuild confidence in how your voice feels and performs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Voice therapy is a medical service that helps improve how your voice functions and feels. During therapy, we target your specific vocal goals using evidence-based exercises, techniques, and education designed to build balance, more efficient voice use.

    Voice therapy is often part of a collaborative care plan with your ENT or laryngologist and may be recommended after a laryngeal examination (laryngoscopy or stroboscopy).

  • If you haven’t had a recent voice evaluation, we’ll begin there. From the first session, you can expect a personalized and collaborative process: we’ll review how your voice feels, clarify your goals, and work through targeted vocal exercises.

    You’ll also learn practical tools to manage fatigue and voice effort, build endurance, and support a sustainable voice in your daily life.

  • Voice therapy is often covered by insurance, but coverage varies by plan and provider.

    Goodwin Voice & Speech is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

    For a detailed guide on submitting a superbill, click here.

  • A referral is not always required, but a laryngeal examination (an exam of the vocal folds) is necessary before beginning therapy. This exam provides essential diagnostic information, ensures treatment is appropriate, and supports collaboration among your care team.

    If you haven’t yet seen an ENT or laryngologist, I can help you connect with a professional who specialize in voice.

  • Voice therapy is a medical service provided by a licensed speech-language pathologist. It focuses on restoring or improving vocal function when there’s a disorder, injury, or concern.

    Singing voice lessons are educational and artistic. These sessions help you refine technique, build artistry, and achieve performance goals. While therapy restores function, lessons expand skill and expression.

  • Voice therapy duration depends on your goals, diagnosis, and response to treatment. Many clients notice improvement within a few sessions, though long-term changes often develop over several weeks of consistent practice.
