Best Speech Therapists In Austin Near Me

4worldlovers: Located in Austin, TX, Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy was formed in 2019 by Angela Murphy MA CCC-SLP SEP.

Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy is a holistic private practice that focuses on the whole person and views all areas of speech and language and communication development through the lens of the nervous system. The main goal of our practice is to get to the root of challenges and figure out how best to help. We may make referrals to other providers in addition to your treatment with us when that is what will best serve your needs.

We want parents and caregivers to be an integral part of the therapeutic process. We work with clients and families on what is most important to their daily lives, to help to create long term and sustainable change. We aim to help clients have more regulation and ease in their lives while working toward speech, language, communication, and social goals.

What makes Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy unique in the field of Speech language Pathology is our training and expertise in integrating attachment theory, trauma informed care, somatic awareness, myofunctional therapy and sensory processing into our treatment.

Our speech therapy clients come to us with a wide range of needs and goals. We often see clients who have motor speech challenges many of whom may not have made progress as families would like in the past. Many clients have difficulties with speech intelligibility or fluency which impact their functional communication skills. We also see clients who have challenges with receptive and expressive language which affects their ability to understand and be understood. Many of our clients are diagnosed with tongue/lips ties or orofacial myofunctional disorders which have affected feeding and/or speech and language development.

Many clients have social cognitive difficulties which affect how they are able to interact with others and the world around them. Many of our speech and language therapy clients also demonstrate some dysregulation in their nervous systems because of sensory processing challenges, developmental trauma, or medical trauma due to repeated medical procedures. The parents/caregivers that find our practice usually are looking for a collaborative approach where they can be an integral part of their child’s team. Our clients’ families are motivated to put in the work alongside their child to help create the best outcomes.

Kiersten’s (former) speech therapist, who has trained in Palo Alto in Michelle Garcia Winner’s social thinking internship got us through several tough years. I am thrilled to say she is now 9 and doing so well. Angela is truly the best of the best. If you could read my daughter’s evaluation at age 4 you wouldn’t believe the changes in 2+ years of working with Angela. I’ve spent many sessions in small groups with her and she runs circles around all the therapists I’ve observed! Kiersten graduated out of therapy has done very well ever since.

Angela also knows a whole lot about OT/Sensory processing disorder even though it’s not exactly her field, just from all her years working side by side with occupational therapists in her clinic.

I don’t think there’s any professional I would recommend so highly.

Her approach is direct yet soothing, and educational without coming across condescending. Her demeanor is so kind and relaxing that I find myself speaking freely. Taking the first step to empowering myself by asking for help was the hardest part of speech therapy. Everything else has been rather enjoyable, and that is 100% due to Allison at Wildflower Speech Therapy." - C.H.

Our family highly recommends Allison at Wildflower Speech Therapy. She worked with our teenage son to resolve a lisp and develop confidence in speaking and making presentations. Through Allison's careful attention, skilled guidance and warm encouragement, our son not only improved the clarity of his speech, but also became a more confident and engaged young man in class, in social settings and in interactions with adults. Allison has a gentle and kind manner and easily won the trust and respect of our son. He valued the sessions and her guidance and was inspired to work diligently on the exercises between sessions. We are so very thankful to Allison." -M.J.
