The words of our clients...
"I had the pleasure of working with Justine for three months. In that time, we worked to deepen, lower, and masculinize my voice as part of my transition. I have an incredibly hard time hearing different tones and pitches. I also have ADHD, which makes learning and practicing new skills difficult. Justine, being highly flexible and adaptable, was successful in finding a learning style that worked for me. Using her knowledge and skills, we were able to triumph in our endeavors to bring my voice down. As a transgender and neurodivergent person, I felt safe and welcomed when working with Justine. I highly recommend her for all your speech therapy needs."

"After being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in my early 40's, I underwent 45 radiation treatments, had two strokes, my carotid artery collapsed on one side, and I had two deep vein thrombosis blood clots that affected my cognitive function and speech. Justine has been an integral part of my recovery and helped me to find the hope I had lost along the way. She is educated, energetic, compassionate, funny, helpful, and an expert in her field with lots of thoughts on how to drive recovery and improvement. Her years of experience are evidenced by her ability to diagnose and treat people with voice and cognitive-communication deficits stemming from disorders like my brain tumor and other neurodegenerative diseases. Highly recommend her for her skills, relatable nature, and life-changing suggestions on how to simultaneously cope and improve post-brain trauma."
~ Lenore M.
"I have to admit I was really scared about being a professional singer and having throat surgery to remove a polyp on my vocal cord. I then was referred to Justine Dolan as my vocal coach... Justine gave me a new way to look at exercising my voice to warm up properly, and with the help of hearing aids, I was able to control the volume of my voice. Justine has an extensive background in music as well as wonderful techniques, exercises that even some of the biggest stars would use! Justine, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
~ James C.
"Justine Dolan is an excellent voice therapist! Through exercises and practice, she helped me find my voice. She provided clear instruction on resonance and intonation. I still use the techniques she taught me to relax my voice when I give a presentation or speak in public. I am grateful to Justine Dolan for everything she taught me."
