I will echo the other 5 stars. I met Abby along with my wife who had a stroke. The evaluation that she did was so extensive that it really isolated where the problems are. I did plenty of research prior to our appointment and everything that I read was on point. We will now see her 3x / week for the next few months. THANK YOU ABBY!! This is the review I left on Google after the first meeting. We've now been seeing her for a couple of months and the progress has really been incredible. She is way more than just a voice therapist. She understands what my wife is going through and counsels her. Once again abby, thank you

After throat surgery in June I lost the ability to sing certain notes and speak in a loud voice. I croaked like a frog or squeaked like a clarinet when calling my pets, shouting a hello when a neighbor walked by , or saying anything in a loud voice. I also developed a persistent dry cough which was triggered by drinking cold water, walking into an air conditioned space, catching a whiff of perfume, humming a tune, etc. I’ve just completed ten sessions of vocal therapy with Abby and regained much of my singing voice and the ability to call out in a loud voice. The sudden croaking / squeaking sounds are gone. My coughing has subsided significantly.

Abby guided me through this recovery process. She gave me very easy weekly homework in bite-sized pieces, and she explained the rationale for each homework step in the healing process. Knowing the “why” is a motivating factor for me. She is also upbeat, supportive and encouraging. She is a good problem solver and can switch to a new healing strategy if any of the steps we are taking aren’t working well.

The exercises she gave me paid off very quickly. My singing voice improved almost immediately. She taught me new ways to use my speaking voice with less strain. The coughing has been harder to tackle but is improving, and I have exercises to do and strategies to use to reduce the coughing even more over time. I highly recommend Abby.

I was having difficulty speaking without the muscles in my throat tensing up: this made it hard to speak clearly or for long periods, and resulted oftimes in gagging. I consulted with Abby Hollander Levitt and she helped me train to use my voice, lungs, and throat muscles correctly. She provided therapy weekly for three months and will continue helping me periodically in the future. She has been a supportive, professional, patient, and highly effective therapist and she has helped me enormously. I appreciate all the work she has done and her superb ability. I recommend her to anybody who needs vocal therapy. Abby Hollander Levitt is excellent.

Abby works with our daughter who has shown great improvement over a short amount of time – Abby is easy to work with and accommodating for our schedules, and has a great rapport with children.

My sessions with Abby have been so helpful to my vocal consistency! Working with her has given me a clear understanding of vocal anatomy and effective tools for speaking and singing… Thanks to Abby, I’m thrilled to have a new understanding of my voice, how it works and how to treat it well!

We are so grateful to Abby for her care and expertise with our toddler. We were concerned about his speech development, and Abby was amazingly responsive, empathetic, and brought her depth of experience to our rescue! She offered to do a home visit, which was ideal for us to keep him in a comfortable and familiar environment. It can be so tricky wrangling any under-two-year-old, but Abby was amazing at meeting him at his level and working with him in such a wonderful and empathetic way. She was very thorough in her assessment, but took the time to explain everything clearly to me as she went, and offered practical tips and exercises that have been so effective in a relatively short period of time. His language skills have been accelerating since, and it's given us such peace of mind!
