My husband was referred to Altruistic Therapy Services by his primary care physician shortly after suffering from a stroke. His occipital lob was damaged, which affected his vision along with his inability to read and decipher words. His comprehension of language was compromised as well. We were set up with appointments with Vanessa quickly and his sessions began. He went from the inability to form words from letters to reading within a few months. My husband may be a rare case but I believe Vanessa gave him the confidence to work hard and keep trying. She is a good listener and encourager. The advice she gave Ken proved effective. This clinic truly reflects its name, Altruistic.
I have been using Altruistic Therapy Company for over 2 years! Heather is very Professional and helpful in answering all my questions and needs for my daughter. My daughter see’s Jenn for a massage 1-2 times a week and she looks forward to seeing her! Jenn ask her what has been bothering her or hurting her since her last visit and takes care of it. I highly recommend this Company they are the greatest!
When someone changes your life & leads you out of the situation you suddenly find yourself in – it can be hard to put your gratitude into words. Heather was without a doubt the most pivotal and important teammate in my Ma’s post stroke recovery. We went from being told my Ma’s trach would never come out to Heather having it out within a year. When Heather took our case on she was the ONLY one that would help us. No one wanted to touch the trach or deal with us whatsoever.
I knew from the moment Heather said “Hello” she was special – and I was right! Heather is beyond special! She is one of one. She is truly of service to her patients in a very rare and special way.
Dedication, professionalism, passion, know how, intuition, compassion, perserverance, care, determination, leadership only begin to describe Heather as a person, professional, heart and soul. I could not recommend her more highly!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH HEATHER! For being who you are and doing what you do – you are really changing lives and putting people back together. You changed the trajectory of my entire family’s lives. I will carry gratitude, love and admiration for you my entire life.
Ma is shining & doing better than ever – trach free! Her attitude about exercise and movement is even improving – if you can believe that! LOL.
Thank you so much Heather! I will always be in awe of you!
Forever with love, gratitude & admiration,
I first met Heather Brown when she became the Speech Therapist for the patient that I currently care for. As a home health aide it is sometimes frustrating when dealing with a patient and knowing they need assistance in certain areas but they just aren’t getting the support they need and you don’t know how to help them. I had never worked with a speech therapist before so I was both excited and curious as to the types of things she would work on with him. I was able to sit in with my patient and heather during their therapy sessions and I can honestly say that after the first session, both my patient and I could tell that working with Heather was going to be a great thing. I have worked with many different types of therapists doing what I do. In my experience, many of them have a sort of “cookie cutter” way of doing things. This was not at all the case with Heather. She asked us if there were certain things we felt needed to be worked on. This may seem like no big deal to most people but to me it meant a lot. See, she wasn’t just asking him, she was asking me as well. She valued my opinion just as much as his and that meant a lot. One of his major concerns was that he was having trouble swallowing his food and daily medication. It was both uncomfortable and dangerous for him. It was then that she introduced a form of therapy called Vital Stim. She used small electrodes to stimulate the muscles in his throat and within just a few sessions it was getting easier for him to swallow. With every session, his therapy continued to progress more and more. He started communicating better, his breath support was improving and he was using the methods Heather showed him in his daily life. She truly goes above and beyond in every session. She would not only work on his cognitive communication therapy, but use it to help him build his business as well. He is very passionate about it, but needed some guidance on how to move forward. She gave him the tools he needed and together we all made a plan. She truly cares about her patients and wants the best for them. She is a great person to work with and I look forward to working with Heather again in the future.
I cannot say enough good things about Altruistic Therapy Services! After a corrective surgery, our daughter required speech therapy services. From day one, Heather made us feel welcome, answered our questions thoroughly , and most importantly, loved on our daughter and made her feel comfortable in her therapy sessions. Heather has the perfect combination of caring for her clients on a personal level while also maintaining “tough love” and high expectations for their therapeutic outcomes. She gave our daughter great strategies for overcoming her speech deficit, and within 6 months, she was able to graduate from the program. Heather is the best there is-she’s been a blessing to our family.
In the short time I have been one of Heather’s clients, she has earned my utmost respect! While I have a way to go, I look forward to continuing to work with Heather to attain my maximum cognitive function.
I am delighted I found Heather and Altruistic Therapy Services!

We ended up having my daughter evaluated and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made!!!!!!
We ended up seeing Mrs. Vanessa for our 2.5 year-old’s speech therapy and My daughter went from saying mama and dada, to at least 10 words or more. Mrs. Vanessa is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, she is EXCELLENT WITH KIDS. My daughter warmed up to her quickly and that’s all we could have hoped for. Vanessa is the perfect fit for our family and I can’t thank her and Heather enough for everything they have done to help my family on our journey.
I would recommend this place to everyone!!!
I promise you will not be disappointed!
I want to thank Heather for all she has done for my husband to get him to where he is today. We had been through 5 speech therapists who only wanted to show him pictures of different actions and pretty much refused to help us work toward the goal of him swallowing and eating again. Then we found Heather, who is very special to us, she has not given up on us, we may have some days that are slower than others but she just finds another way to work with him and still get some exercise in. She is the only speech therapist that I found that did the VitalStim treatment to work on his dysphagia, that did not work for a facility. She has gotten him so far, and has gone way beyond her speech therapy role to help us find many other resources to help us work towards his recovery. We can’t thank her enough, she cares so much about her patients success that I know with her help we will reach our goals.
