Communication services for adolescents and young adults.
Communication informs academic success, relationships, self esteem, and independence — especially during adolescence, when language and executive functioning demands become more complex.
I’m Joanna Butler, M.Ed., CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist specializing in vocabulary, executive functioning, and social communication. I use my uniquely crafted framework called the VANI Method to support meaningful communication across your everyday life.

My mission is to support individuals in developing the language, executive functioning, and interpersonal skills needed to intentionally communicate more fully in their lives.

Why Work With Me
I am a neuro-affirming, client centered therapist dedicated to helping you reach your goals using evidence based interventions and my proprietary framework that supports language and your neuroplasticity.
Welcome to Vidya Speech Solutions
At Vidya Speech Solutions, communication is not just a clinical skill, it’s the foundation for connection to ourselves and the world around us.
I provide individualized speech-language therapy and executive functioning support for adolescents and young adults navigating academic, social, and professional communication challenges. Services are grounded in evidence based practice and shaped by a holistic strengths focused approach I created called the VANI Method.
The VANI Method integrates speech-language therapy with executive functioning support, self-reflective practices, and counseling-informed strategies designed to help clients communicate with greater clarity.
Grounded in principles of compassion, intention, purposeful practice, and compassionate support, this approach focuses on building meaningful communication skills that extend beyond the therapy setting and into your everyday life.

Hi! I’m Joanna.
Vidya Speech Solutions, LLC Owner and Speech-Pathologist
I believe that we communicate most effectively when our nervous system, cognition, and intentions are working together.
My proprietary therapeutic approach blends evidence-informed speech-language therapy with empathy and mindfulness practices to target your each client’s unique strengths and needs. I’m especially passionate about helping adolescents and young adults develop the language skills needed for greater independence and meaningful participation in their everyday life. It’s extremely rewarding to watch my clients slowly blossom and grow both inside and outside the therapeutic setting.
I value close collaboration with families, educators, and interdisciplinary teams to support lasting progress across all settings.
At Vidya Speech Solutions, functional and person-centered communication support remains at the heart of my work.
I am excited to work with you!
