Mentoring for Myofunctional Therapy
As a certified orofacial myologist specializing in myofunctional therapy in Chatham, NJ I offer mentoring to support clinicians at all stages of their journey. Whether you’re just completed your first orofacial myology training or need help with a complex case, mentoring provides guidance, confidence, and practical tools you can apply with your patients right away.
Discuss Clinical Cases:
Do you have a patient you’d like to discuss and aren’t sure what your first steps in treatment should be? I can help you analyze the case and develop a clinical direction. If you have existing patients who have plateaued in myofunctional therapy or progress has stalled, we’ll troubleshoot together to identify the next steps.

Review Assessment Results
Completed an evaluation but not sure how to translate your results into a therapy progression? We’ll review your findings, connect them to treatment goals, and map out a therapy plan that aligns with patient needs.
Clinical Decision-Making
Not every case fits the textbook. If you’re unsure whether your myofunctional therapy case would truly benefit from treatment, mentoring can help. We’ll talk through complex scenarios, clarify when therapy is indicated, and even practice the tough conversations you may need to have with patients or families about why therapy may not be the right fit.
Practice Therapeutic Exercises
If you’ve taken a course and have a list of exercises but don’t feel confident teaching them, I can help. We’ll practice exercises together, review the purpose behind each activity, and ensure you know how to model them correctly for your patients. With feedback and practice, you’ll feel more confident delivering effective sessions.
Assist in Treatment Planning
Creating effective, personalized treatment goals is at the core of quality orofacial myofunctional therapy. Together, we’ll tailor treatment strategies to individual patient needs, ensuring they are both realistic and results-driven. This process helps you build confidence and better outcomes for children and adults alike.
