Virginia is where Stoa Therapy runs its deepest bench of licensed speech-language pathologists. From Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads, families across the Commonwealth work with our SLPs entirely online — no waitlists at the regional clinic, no drives on I-64.

Most families pay $0–$30 per visit. We accept Anthem, Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care), and most major commercial plans, we handle insurance verification for you, and there’s no physician referral required to get started. Book a free consultation or call (517) 997-8198.

Speech therapy built around Virginia families

Virginia families often come to us after long waits for school-based services or hospital outpatient programs. Whether you’re in a Fairfax County suburb, a Richmond neighborhood, or a rural county in Southwest Virginia where the nearest pediatric SLP is an hour away, teletherapy puts a licensed Virginia clinician on your screen, usually within days.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can we start?

Most families complete a free consultation within a couple of days and schedule an evaluation shortly after. There’s no physician referral required to get started, though we’re glad to coordinate with your pediatrician.

How much will speech therapy cost?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance, including Medicaid. We verify your benefits before your first appointment and tell you your expected cost up front — no surprises.

Is Stoa Therapy in-network with Anthem in Virginia?

Yes. Stoa Therapy Group PLLC is an in-network provider with Anthem in Virginia for speech therapy services. We verify your specific plan benefits before your first session so you know your expected cost up front.

Does online speech therapy really work?

Yes. Peer-reviewed research consistently finds telehealth speech therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care across articulation, language, fluency, and voice. Sessions are live, interactive, and built around games and activities kids actually enjoy — and parents are coached as partners, which improves carryover at home.

What ages do you see?

All ages — from toddlers just starting to talk through school-age children, teens, and adults.
