• Calm & supportive environment: Enjoy working in private offices within our (generally) calm clinic, fostering a soothing and supportive atmosphere for both therapists and clients.

Welcome to the Therapy Center of Buda, your compassionate ally in speech‑language pathology and occupational therapy, located just south of Austin, Texas. As a therapist‑owned clinic, we are deeply committed to delivering family‑centered services that empower and foster strong advocacy, community engagement, and self‑acceptance among our clients and their caregivers. Our approach is anchored in affirmation and respect for each individual's journey, explicitly steering clear of ABA/behaviorism methodologies.

Our state‑of‑the‑art facility spans 4,000 square feet and features both indoor and outdoor sensory gyms, alongside a serene sensory room, designed to nurture comfort and growth. While we primarily offer in‑clinic sessions, telehealth services are available under specific circumstances, ensuring accessibility and continuity of care. At the Therapy Center of Buda, we are dedicated to creating a space where clients can genuinely feel seen, heard, and understood, equipping them with the skills to flourish in their own unique ways.
