How Dr. Gurian Can Help You
Every session is personalized — because your stutter, your triggers, and your goals are unique to you.
A Unique Approach to Fluency
Dr. Gurian is not a speech therapist. He's someone who stuttered severely himself and found a way out — through cognitive behavioral therapy and a deep understanding of the psychology behind stuttering. His approach is based on the premise that your thoughts always precede your actions, and that by changing how you think about speaking, you can change how you speak.
The Concept
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are just some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that often accompany a problem with stuttering. This is a body-mind-spirit approach to stopping stuttering, with the understanding that stuttering is often self-created as a child in response to something going on in your life at the time it started.
The key to stopping stuttering is the interesting process of changing your thoughts and eliminating the ones that brought on the stuttering in the first place, once we determine what they are. Thought is just a form of energy and any thought you create you can also uncreate.
It's not easy and it takes real dedication, but if you truly want to stop stuttering, and want stuttering help, you have to be willing to work very hard. The Spiritual concept is that if one person can do it, others can do it as well because we're all made the same with the same parts, and if there's nothing physically wrong with any of them, there's no reason why you can't get better. In life we seek perfection knowing we often have to settle for less!
The Tools
There is a workbook and a set of powerful positive affirmations that are used to help change our thoughts, almost like a form of self-hypnosis, the same way without even realizing it, you learn the words to a song by hearing it over and over again.
Stutterers are not being told they can get better. Stuttering help is available for those willing to dedicate themselves to the process. The approach is a cognitive one, meaning it's all about thought, and that's what makes it so interesting.
Online Services
For people living in the NYC area, Dr. Gurian can see you in person. He is located in Manhattan. For people out of town as far away as London or Israel, he usually works on Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Most sessions are weekly for maximum effectiveness, but can be scheduled according to a person's preference.
The first step is sending Dr. Gurian a detailed e-mail to [email protected] with information about yourself, how long you've been stuttering, where you live, what kind of work you do, and what type of treatment if any you have tried and how it worked out for you.
Remember — only another stutterer knows what it's like to stutter. Only another stutterer knows the pain and the humiliation many stutterers face on a daily basis.

Inquire About Session PackagesFrequently Asked Questions About Stuttering Therapy
Q: How long does it take to get better with this form of private speech therapy?
A: If anyone were to tell you that, they would be taking advantage of you. It depends on how quickly it takes you to convince your sub-conscious mind that you no longer have any need to stutter.
Q: Do I have to do some work every day?
A: The more work you're willing to do, the faster you will see a change, and relieve yourself of stuttering stress. You can never do too much work.
Q: What do the affirmations do?
A: Affirmations are positive statements that when repeated over and over again imprint themselves into your consciousness and help you to reprogram the way you think. Very important for stuttering help!
Q: How long is each session?
A: Each session is an hour except for the first one in which you go over a detailed questionnaire, besides learning techniques, so the first session is anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours.
Q: Are weekly sessions necessary?
A: Weekly sessions seem to be the most effective. Occasionally people will request more than one session a week.
Q: If you attain fluency, how long does it last?
A: The treatment is not a trick. We are looking for a permanent change, which is why it takes time. You can't "trick" your subconscious mind with weird breathing techniques or strange patterns of speaking, or else the stuttering will come back. The goal is for you to speak like everyone else who does not stutter.
