I’m Vy Phan, M.S., CCC-SLP; I joined Monkey Mouths in 2021 as a speech-language pathologist and I am an Assistant Clinical Director in the Hurst clinic. I earned my undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and my master’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in school and pediatric hospital settings.

I believe therapy should be fun, meaningful, and functional. Parents are an important part of our team and together we can give their child the skills to communicate, connect and create strong relationships with those around them.

In my spare time I enjoy baking, hiking, running a picnic & events business, traveling and trying new restaurants.
