Connecting All Ages with Speech Language Pathologists

At Verse Therapy, we're dedicated to making quality speech therapy accessible for everyone by empowering speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to launch and grow their own independent practices. We help therapists focus on what they do best—providing compassionate, personalized care—by taking care of the administrative tasks that often lead to burnout. Through thoughtful marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their expertise. Our AI-enabled back office streamlines insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, reducing non-therapy overhead. We're now live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and are in-network with leading insurance providers, making it easier for clients to receive the support they need.

Danielle Yoesep, Founder

Grew up interested in science, always thinking I'd become a doctor (immigrant parents lol) but realized in university that practicing medicine actually wasn't the way I wanted to make my impact. Stayed in science, wanted to be on the cutting edge, did some research developing platform technologies that enable the synthesis of novel molecules. I helped spin a company out based on the work and built it up from (mostly) scratch. We ended up getting acquired, and now I'm doing it all over again :)

TL;DR

At Verse Therapy, we're committed to making quality speech therapy accessible to everyone by empowering speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to launch and grow their own independent practices. We help therapists focus on what they do best—providing compassionate, personalized care—by taking care of the administrative tasks that often lead to burnout. Through targeted marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their expertise. Our AI-enabled back-office streamlines insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, reducing non-therapy overhead. We're proud to be live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and are in-network with leading insurance providers, making it easier for clients to receive the support they need.

The Problem

Access to quality speech therapy is more challenging than ever. Many individuals, from children experiencing learning setbacks due to COVID-19 disruptions to seniors facing age-related speech issues, are struggling to get the support they need. Demand is soaring, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 21% growth in employment for SLPs from 2021 to 2031. However, the number of practicing therapists isn't growing quickly enough to meet this need, leading to long wait times and underserved communities.

At the same time, many dedicated SLPs are facing burnout from overwhelming administrative tasks like insurance paperwork, scheduling, and documentation, coupled with lower pay in traditional settings. This not only affects their well-being but also worsens the shortage, as some may reduce their workload or leave the profession entirely. According to a survey by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 28% of SLPs are interested in private practice to gain more control over their work and income. There is an urgent need for a compassionate solution that supports both those seeking therapy and the professionals providing it.

The Solution

Verse Therapy is bridging this gap by empowering speech-language pathologists to launch and grow their own independent practices with ease. We enable therapists to focus on delivering empathetic, high-quality care by handling the administrative burdens that often lead to burnout. Through our targeted marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, schools, and medical facilities, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their specialized support.

Our AI-enabled back office simplifies insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, allowing therapists to spend more time with their clients and less on paperwork. By alleviating these stresses, we enhance the well-being of our therapists and help retain more professionals in the field, ultimately expanding access to speech therapy services.

We're proud to be live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and to be in-network with leading insurance providers. Together, we're making quality speech therapy more accessible and transforming lives through improved communication.
