Stuttering Therapy in New York That Addresses the Root Cause
Most stuttering therapy focuses on how you speak. Dr. Jeffrey Gurian's approach focuses on why you stutter — and that difference changes everything.
Why Most Stuttering Therapy in New York Doesn't Produce Lasting Results
The majority of stuttering therapy available in New York focuses on speech mechanics — breathing techniques, pacing, fluency exercises. These approaches can produce short-term improvements in a clinical setting. But for most adults, the results don't last outside the therapist's office.
The reason is simple: stuttering is not primarily a speech problem. It is a psychological one.
Dr. Jeffrey Gurian discovered this through his own experience. He stuttered severely for more than 20 years. He tried speech therapy. It didn't help. The breakthrough came when he noticed that he didn't stutter when he was alone — only when he tried to speak to another person.
That observation led him to develop an approach that addresses the root cause: the anxiety patterns, self-monitoring habits, and subconscious beliefs that trigger stuttering in social situations. He now appears on radio, television, and live on stage. No one can tell he ever stuttered.

"I was engaged to a speech therapist and she was not able to help me. Dr. Gurian's approach was completely different — and it worked."— Gabe G., client
Common Questions About Stuttering Therapy in New York
What kind of stuttering therapy is available in New York?
Dr. Jeffrey Gurian offers cognitive behavioral therapy for adult stuttering in Manhattan. Unlike traditional speech therapy, this approach addresses the psychological root cause — the anxiety and thought patterns that trigger blocks — rather than just the mechanics of speech.
How is this different from speech therapy?
Speech therapy focuses on how you speak — breathing, pacing, fluency techniques. These can produce short-term improvements but rarely produce lasting change because they do not address why you stutter. Cognitive behavioral therapy works on the underlying patterns that trigger stuttering.
Can adults really stop stuttering permanently?
Yes. Dr. Gurian himself stuttered severely for over 20 years before developing the approach he now teaches. He has helped hundreds of adults achieve lasting fluency. The key insight is that stuttering is not a physical defect — it is a learned pattern that can be unlearned.
Does Dr. Gurian work with clients outside New York?
Yes. While Dr. Gurian sees clients in person at his Manhattan office, he also works with clients worldwide via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Many of his clients are in other states or countries.
