About SpeakEZ Speech Therapy
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.
Ruthvi Patel, M.S., CCC-SLP
Hi! I’m Ruthvi, a licensed speech-language pathologist and the founder of SpeakEZ Speech Services. Whether you’re here seeking support for yourself or someone you love, taking this step is an important part of the journey — and I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a bilingual SLP and provide treatment in English, Gujarati, and Hindi. As part of my graduate degree, I completed a thesis titled Situational Fears in Adults Who Stutter and the research shaped my treatment approach for stuttering, and allowed me to learn about the effects stuttering can have on someone’s life. Throughout my career, I have worked with patients of all ages and provided bilingual therapy in homes, schools, private clinics, and via telehealth. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of dysphagia/swallowing disorders, fluency/stuttering disorders, articulation and speech sound disorders, cognitive-communication disorders, and brain injury rehabilitation.
Outside of SpeakEZ, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, and dog, and we are always on the hunt for new restaurants. I also enjoy baking, painting, and reading (Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter are my favorites!).
