Stuttering Therapy Redefined
Welcome to West Coast Stuttering Center
"I am forever grateful to Bailey for our work together and for the perspective that he helped me develop."

At West Coast Stuttering Center, I help people who stutter build the confidence to speak up, lead conversations, and take on new opportunities in high stakes social and professional environments. I take a whole-person, nervous-system-informed approach to stuttering therapy — supporting your speech, your mindset, your stress response, and your ability to show up fully when it matters most.
​
I integrate evidence-based stuttering therapy with nervous-system regulation tools, including trauma-informed approaches and EFT tapping, to help you reduce speaking anxiety and communicate with greater ease. I specialize in supporting early-career professionals in tech, engineering, and other high-performance roles who want to contribute more boldly in meetings, interviews, presentations, and social situations.
​
I work with clients across the West Coast and beyond through online stuttering therapy sessions, making it easy to access support no matter where you live. My clients have delivered successful presentations, aced interviews, received VC backing for successful startups, earned promotions, and reconnected with others more confidently and authentically.
​
Helping people reclaim their voice and build a life with greater freedom and self-expression is the most meaningful part of what I do.
Experience the freedom and joy of embracing your true potential.

Therapeutic Approaches...
Combining evidence-based approaches and envelope pushing methods with decades of combined experience researching and treating stuttering, as well as being a person who also stutters, I guide clients toward achieving their goals through highly personalized therapy.
​
For teens and adults, my therapeutic approach is guided by methods that increase confidence as a communicator while learning to stutter more easily. You are not broken. You don’t need to be fixed.​
Meet Bailey V. Levis, M.S., CCC-SLP
Years ago, the struggle of being a covert stutterer consumed my life. I know what it’s like to wake up with immense fear and worry about all of the unknown interactions that might happen that day. I worried about who I would stutter with and what they would think of me. I was afraid they would think I was stupid. I felt weak.
​​
I also know what it’s like to be on the other side of this pain. I wake up every morning knowing that I have the strength and confidence to say what I want when I want, regardless of my stutter, and I go to bed at night thinking about the people who stutter / stutterers that I helped. It brings me great joy.
