Our Mission to Help You and Your Loved Ones

Converse with Confidence Inc. is a private practice based in Southern California geared to help you and your loved one communicate actively and confidently in daily life.

Speech rehabilitation should be accessible, convenient, and highly effective. We assist with various conditions resulting in:

Are you having difficulty formulating sentences, finding the right words to say, or holding conversations?

Are others having a hard time hearing your voice, understanding your speech, or are you isolating from social interactions?

Are you having a hard time eating, drinking or taking pills?

You may need help with….

Speech, Language, Voice, and/or Swallowing

Communication problems may arise in cases of **aphasia, motor speech disorders (e.g. dysarthria, apraxia)**, or even in the presence of **vocal nodules**.

Many neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Acquired Apraxia of Speech can cause impairments in the ability to clearly articulate words or communicate successfully.

These same conditions may also lead to swallowing impairments (oropharyngeal dysphagia).

Some issues that we help with may include:

  • Z difficulty in speaking or understanding speech
  • Z weak, numb or unresponsive mouth muscles
  • Z changes in timbre, volume or tone of voice
  • Z eating and swallowing problems
Are you having difficulty with short-term memory or organizing your thoughts?

Are you having difficulty focusing during conversations, while reading, or when completing everyday tasks?

Are you having difficulty solving simple or complex problems and sequencing steps to complete tasks?

You may need help with:

COGNITIVE-COMMUNICATION AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING SKILLS

  • Z inattentiveness or lack of focus
