Strengthening the cognitive foundations of communication: attention, memory, reasoning, and executive function.
Cognitive-communication therapy addresses the thinking skills which underlie effective communication. When cognitive abilities like attention, memory, organization, and problem-solving are affected, communication suffers—even when the language itself is intact.
Focusing, sustaining attention, and filtering distractions
Short-term, working memory, and recall strategies
Planning, organizing, initiating, and self-monitoring
Reasoning, judgment, and decision-making
Concussions and more severe brain injuries often affect cognitive-communication skills. Therapy helps rebuild these connections.
Right hemisphere strokes in particular can affect attention, reasoning, and social communication even when language seems preserved.
Therapy focuses on compensatory strategies to maintain communication and independence as long as possible.
Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions can affect cognitive-communication abilities.

A cognitive-communication disorder occurs when brain injury, stroke, or neurological disease disrupts the thinking skills that support communication — such as attention, memory, reasoning, and organization. A person may speak fluently but struggle to follow conversations, stay on topic, or recall words when needed.
Traditional speech therapy focuses on articulation, language, and voice. Cognitive-communication therapy targets the underlying mental processes — memory, attention, executive function, and problem-solving — that allow communication to happen effectively in daily life.

Every case is different. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions; others benefit from longer-term support. We conduct an initial evaluation and provide a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and expected timelines before we begin.
We are a private pay practice. We provide detailed superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients find that private pay allows faster access to care, more flexible scheduling, and sessions tailored entirely to their goals — without insurance limitations on frequency or duration.
