MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Speech & Language Therapy in Austin, Texas

Developing Social Engagement, Regulation, and Communication from the Inside Out

Inside Out: Our Story and Approach

Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy, founded in 2019 by Angela Murphy, MA, CCC-SLP, SEP, is a holistic private practice in Austin, TX. We focus on the whole person, looking at speech, language, and communication development through the lens of the nervous system. Our goal is to understand the root of challenges and create the best path forward, which sometimes includes collaborating with or referring to other providers to ensure each client and family receives the most comprehensive support.

We believe parents and caregivers are essential partners in the therapy process. By working on what matters most in daily life, we aim to create lasting, sustainable change. Our approach supports not only speech, language, communication, and social growth, but also greater regulation and ease in everyday life.

What makes Inside Out unique is our integration of attachment theory, trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, myofunctional therapy, and sensory processing into speech-language therapy—creating a safe, connected, and whole-client approach to growth.

Who We Support

At our clinic, we work with clients who come to us with a wide range of speech, language, communication, feeding, and myofunctional needs. Some experience motor speech challenges and may not have made the progress they hoped for in the past, while others struggle with speech clarity or fluency, which can affect everyday communication. We also support clients with difficulties in understanding or expressing language, helping them communicate more effectively. Many clients face sensory or motor feeding challenges that make it hard to eat a variety of foods or coordinate swallowing safely. Some have tongue or lip ties or orofacial myofunctional disorders, which can impact feeding, speech, and language development.

Many of our clients experience differences in social-cognitive processing, which can influence how they interact with others and navigate daily life. Some also have nervous system dysregulation related to sensory processing differences, developmental experiences, or medical procedures. We honor these differences and work with clients—children, teens, and adults—and their families or caregivers in a collaborative way, supporting them as active participants in the therapy process. Together, we focus on building strategies that respect each individual’s unique strengths while creating meaningful, lasting outcomes.
