That's the million dollar question. It is HARD to find the right speech therapist. I really lucked into find a qualified therapist. Someone at the top of their field. My best advice is to find a university that has a world class SLP program. Reach out to them. Use them as a starting point to find resources local to you. You want to make sure that your therapist has a focus on stuttering. *My experience is anecdotal.* But I read a lot in this sub about techniques. I have a problem with speech therapists that teach techniques as a solution. I recognize a lot of these techniques as portions of the program I followed. But I read accounts where therapists send stutterers into the world with only these techniques. My experience was that I used these techniques as steps through developing fluency. They were used in the office and in private as I progressed in my fluency. It wasn't until I was fluent and confident in my fluency that I was allowed to use my fluency outside of therapy. It's a lot of work and dedication. But if you work at it every day, it's not unreasonable to be fluent this time a year from now. Assuming you find a program that works for you.
