In a state as rural as Vermont, Deaf residents have often had no realistic option for therapy in ASL. Our Vermont-licensed therapists changed that the day we arrived.

The Deaf Community in Vermont


Vermont's Deaf community is small but connected, gathering across Burlington, Montpelier, and the small towns that define the state. Being Deaf in a rural state brings particular isolation — fewer signers nearby, fewer interpreters, fewer services of every kind. A therapist who signs, available from your kitchen table, matters more here than almost anywhere.


How Online ASL Therapy Works


Getting started is simple: reach out through our contact form or videophone, and our team matches you with a therapist licensed in Vermont who fits your needs and preferences. Sessions happen over secure, HIPAA-compliant video — all you need is a computer, tablet, or videophone and an internet connection.


Insurance & Costs


Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.


Why Deaf Clients in Vermont Choose My Deaf Therapy


Every therapist who sees Vermont clients is licensed in Vermont — you can verify any license through the state's public lookup site, and we encourage you to. As the nation's largest ASL-fluent telehealth team, we offer real choice of therapist, short waits, and clinicians supported by ongoing supervision and training.
