I’m Emma Carlson, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2021 as a speech-language pathologist. I earned my undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University and my master’s degree from Vanderbilt University. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in private practice. I am the Lead Feeding Therapist in the Southlake Clinic.

As a speech pathologist, I have the special privilege of helping children find their voice by providing therapy that is fun and tailored to their needs. I believe families play an integral role in a patient’s success and strive to make therapy a fun and positive experience for children and their families.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, traveling, reading and being outside.

As an SLP since 2020, I have training and specialization in the following:
