I had a stroke 8 months ago. I moved from Danbury Hospital to Meadow Ridge and worked with a home company, but none helped. Only after I started with Sarah Gromko did I experience a breakthrough. She taught me everything about my speech. I highly recommend her!
Sarah’s dedication to supporting your voice journey is unmatched. Her care and compassion makes working with her feel like a genuine partnership to find your authentic self. Her knowledge of the voice and speech is incredible and has been invaluable in overcoming each challenge I faced with achieving the voice that felt like me.
Vocal Training has given me so much more confidence and has made me feel more like myself.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and support I’ve received from Sarah. I’ve been seeing Sarah since the fall of 2023, a few months after having a stroke which impacted my speech. Her expertise, patience, and encouragement have played a huge role in the progress I’ve made and I continue to work with her to improve my reading and speech.

I suffered a serious TBI and had serious issues with memory, executive function, concentration, reasoning, headaches and dizziness. Sarah Gromko has provided Speech Therapy services which have enhanced my cognitive ability, reasoning, concentration and minimized my headaches and dizziness. Sarah has been responsible for helping me manage and understand the issues related to my TBI and help me lead a functional life.
