Specialized Services:

YOUR VOICE...

…is deeply personal. It can motivate a crowd, comfort a loved one, carry a song, or express your emotions. For many, it’s also their livelihood. Your voice is unique, intertwined with your identity, and vital to how you connect with the world. For something so essential, doesn’t it deserve care?

The answer is a resounding YES. At Resonate, we provide specialized care for the voice—whether that means preventive training for professionals with high vocal demands or rehabilitative therapy to restore healthy voice function. Our services support those experiencing vocal fatigue, hoarseness, chronic cough or throat clearing, swallowing difficulties, or breathing symptoms related to voice or VCD/ILO.

The voice is dynamic and never works alone. Just like a finely tuned machine, it depends on the coordinated function of all its parts working together--your breath, muscles, vocal anatomy, and resonance. When even one part is out of balance, the voice can suffer—impacting not only how you sound, but how you feel and how you show up in the world.

That’s why we take a whole-person, individualized approach. Our online model is designed to meet your needs and help you reach your personal and professional goals—all without the stress of commuting or rearranging your life.

Let Resonate help you strengthen, restore, and celebrate your voice so you can sound your best, inside and out!

I wonder how many patients might feel as I did? With just a few sessions under my belt I can tell you that this has been one of the most beneficial experiences in managing my voice health. Already I find that I am more confident in using my voice, and I am working to develop effective skills for speaking on the job ...

THE CLINICIAN

Jessica Schwartz Smith, MS, CCC-SLP

With compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of the intricate connections between body, mind, and voice, Jessica brings both personal experience and professional expertise to her work. She is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their voice and speech goals through specialized, evidence-based care, always striving to create a safe and comfortable environment where clients can feel supported in their journey.

Jessica is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) with a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) and is licensed in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. She specializes in the evaluation and treatment of voice and upper airway disorders, gender-affirming voice therapy, adult dysphagia, and support for patients with head and neck cancer.

As a voice specialist, Jessica blends rehabilitation with a wellness-based model that emphasizes prevention as much as recovery. She is passionate about helping professionals with high vocal demands—teachers, performers, speakers, and leaders—maintain vocal health and function both in and out of the workplace. Jessica is also deeply committed to providing gender-affirming voice training in a safe, inclusive, and supportive space, helping each individual find a voice that reflects their identity with confidence. Her holistic approach integrates education, training, and practical strategies to help individuals safely improve, heal, or modify their voice for clearer, more authentic communication.

Jessica’s journey into this field began with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from North Carolina State University, combined with her lifelong love of singing and performance. Inspired by the power of effective communication and vocal health, she pursued a Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders at East Carolina University. She completed her clinical practicum at the Duke Voice Care Center at Duke University Hospital, specializing in voice and swallowing disorders.

In 2016, Jessica relocated to Pennsylvania, where she worked in an ENT and Allergy/Immunology physician practice, helping expand their voice program in close collaboration with laryngologists, allergists, and other ENT specialists. In 2020, during the global pandemic, she launched her own private practice, continuing her mission to make specialized voice care more accessible.

Jessica has pursued advanced training in Myofascial Release Therapy for the Head & Neck and Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD). She has also led vocal health workshops for schools and community groups, educating singers, teachers, and other professionals about the importance of voice care and optimization.

Jessica lives in Philadelphia with her husband and baby boy. Outside of her clinical work, Jessica enjoys singing folk, jazz, and blues, and loves traveling to experience new cultures and cuisines.
