YouSpeak was founded and is directed by Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, who is herself a person who stutters. The practice's philosophy holds that stuttering's impact extends below the surface of what is visible to others, affecting not only communication but a person's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Therapy at YouSpeak is built around reducing that broader impact, addressing feared speaking situations, reduced self-esteem, and overall outlook on life alongside physical struggle. Sara describes her own experience of hiding her stuttering for years before finding a community of speech therapists and people who stutter, and she brings that perspective to a person-centered, individualized approach for clients of all ages.

The practice is located at 1518 Walnut St, Suite 401, on Walnut Street in Center City Philadelphia, a short walk from South 15th Street and South 16th Street. The 15th-16th & Locust train station is about a tenth of a mile away, and Pierce College is roughly the same distance from the office.

YouSpeak has built a solid reputation among the clients it has served, reflected in a perfect rating across its reviews. For people who stutter in Philadelphia and beyond, that combination of lived experience and specialized, person-centered care is what the practice is known for.
