“Of all the skills I’ve learned, the most valuable is considering clients as collaborators. We don’t just work for you; we work with you to achieve goals that truly matter in your daily life.”
— Stephanie Fay MS CCC-SLP | Managing Member and Owner of Vivera SLP LLC

Our Mission:

To Live Fully

The name Vivera comes from the Latin word “vive,” meaning “to live.” This practice was founded with the core mission of helping clients live- independently, authentically, and confidently- without the barriers of traditional healthcare.

The Vivera Difference:

I started Vivera SLP because I saw a critical need in the Wausau area for accessible, specialized adult SLP services. I know the frustration of long waitlists and limited in-home care options.

That's why our approach is built on two pillars: Accessibility and Collaboration.

My Collaborative, Flexible Approach

My clients find the most success when therapy is practical and personalized. What makes working with Vivera SLP unique:

  • Flexible Location & Schedule: We eliminate the stress of travel by bringing therapy to you- in your home, in the community, or virtually across Wisconsin.

  • Real-Life Practice: Our sessions are structured around your real-life environment. We might practice memory strategies with your personal calendar or social skills in a coffee shop setting.

  • Focus on Autonomy: I don't set goals for you, I set them with you. My greatest joy is seeing the confidence you discover within yourself, watching you reclaim a sense of independence and autonomy.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not helping clients rediscover their voice, you can find me enjoying my creative hobbies. I love gaming, creating art, singing, playing music, and traveling. These passions reinforce my belief that communication and expression are key to a full, rich life- and that’s what I want for you, too.
