Affinity Therapy

Every person has more to communicate than words alone allow.

Affinity Therapy helps adults rebuild communication after a stroke, brain injury, or aphasia — for people who were told they'd plateaued but aren't done recovering. Specialist care, rooted in how the brain rebuilds, delivered virtually across Tennessee, Kentucky, California, and North Carolina.

Meet Marina

Hi, I'm Marina. I'm a speech-language pathologist, and I started Affinity Therapy because I believe people deserve more than a referral and a waitlist. Whether you're recovering from a stroke or brain injury yourself, or supporting a loved one who is, I'd love to talk through what's going on and how I can help.

Why a specialist

Adult neurologic communication recovery is my specialty

After a stroke or brain injury, the person is still fully there. Their thoughts, their humor, their personality are all intact. What's changed is the bridge between thought and word, and that bridge can be rebuilt. Helping adults do that, after aphasia, brain injury, and stroke, is the work I trained for in skilled-nursing and outpatient rehab, and the work I care most about.
