    Libby Smith, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech Therapist, www.hollandhospital.org   "I have knowledge in voice therapy and have completed online coursework in the realm of gender-affirming voice therapy. At this time, I have no practical experience treating clients in male to female or female to male voice.  Please call before scheduling an appointment to briefly discuss the therapist's experience and your insurance coverage, as paying out of pocket can be quite expensive. It may make more sense to seek out other opportunities at university clinics or through private practice."
