About Us

At SpeakEZ, we empower children and adults to succeed in every area of life — school, work, community, relationships, and daily living. Our evidence-based, individualized therapy strengthens speech, voice, cognition, and swallowing skills, helping each person reach their fullest potential and enjoy a fulfilling life.

From helping children strengthen their speech to supporting adults on their journey after a stroke, each session is customized to celebrate individual strengths and work toward meaningful progress. Our philosophy is simple: we celebrate ability over limitation.

Therapy isn’t about restrictions—it’s about unlocking potential. Let’s take the first step toward confident communication together.

Created from Experience

SpeakEZ was founded by Ruthvi Patel, a licensed speech-language pathologist with experience in a variety of settings. A compassionate approach guides every session.

Designed for You

We offer individual, evidence-based virtual therapy sessions for children and adults, and specialize in helping strengthen speech, language, cognition, voice, and swallowing skills.

Always with Support

Family and loved ones are always invited and encouraged to participate in therapy sessions to help promote awareness and aid in carryover of learned skills outside of therapy sessions.

  • Before starting speech therapy, I was frustrated, exhausted, and had anxiety when I tried to talk. I stuttered in Arabic and English and Ruthvi showed me different strategies to manage my stuttering, especially at work. My stuttering is at a level where it is not significant anymore and I am more confident when my stutters happen. Ruthvi was very understanding and it was fun working with her.

    -D.Q.

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ruthvi and the incredible impact she has had on my recovery journey. After suffering a stroke, I was facing significant challenges with my communication and memory, which was both frustrating and discouraging. From our very first session, Ruthvi brought not only expertise and professionalism, but also genuine compassion and encouragement that immediately put me at ease. Her approach to therapy is thoughtful, personalized, and highly effective. She took time to understand my specific struggles and tailored each session to target my needs while still keeping me motivated and confident. Ruthvi has a remarkable ability to break down complex exercises into manageable steps, making progress feel achievable. What truly sets her apart is her patience and positivity. She celebrated every milestone with me, no matter how small, and consistently reminded me of how far I had come. Her encouragement gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward, even on the tough days. Thanks to Ruthvi's dedication and skill, I have made tremendous progress. I feel more like myself again, and that is something I will always be grateful for. If you are looking for an SLP who is not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply caring and committed to her patients' success, I wholeheartedly recommend Ruthvi. She has made a life-changing difference for me.

    —S.S.

  • Ruthvi worked with my 8 year old son as an articulation specialist, and she was terrific. Her feedback after each session included specific data she tracked. About a month in, she provided a comprehensive report with a clinical impressions, continued recommendations, and objectives. We met twice a week and corrected the speech issue. During a conversation about school, my son exclaimed, "Ruthvi is my favorite teacher!" High praise given his excellent teachers.
