My name is Alexa, and I’m the owner of Brain Positive Therapy. I’ve made it my mission to provide inclusive communication-centered care to all brain types. As a speech-language pathologist, I have specialized training in neurodiversity-affirming practices and a holistic approach to care. My areas of expertise include the following: AAC, speech sound production, language, voice therapy, stuttering/cluttering therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation. Since I have both ADHD and Autism, I understand the struggles that come with a neurodivergent brain. My belief has always been that a person has to be in the right headspace to access communication in a functional way, so that your nervous system is regulated and you are performing at your best. My hope is that I can bring you a sense of peace and acceptance along with improved communication skills.
