Speech Therapy in El Paso, TX
Live speech therapy by video for El Paso children and adults, from the Westside to Horizon City, Socorro and Canutillo. Your therapist is Sherry Owais, M.A., CCC-SLP, licensed in Texas.
Scheduled on El Paso Time
El Paso runs on Mountain Time, an hour behind most of Texas. We book every appointment in your local time and confirm it that way, so there's no mental math before a session.
Memory and Thinking After a Concussion or Brain Injury
After a concussion, stroke, or other brain injury, some adults notice they lose track of conversations, forget what they just read, or struggle to organize their thoughts. Speech-language pathologists treat these cognitive-communication problems.
Sherry works on practical goals:
Following and remembering conversations and instructions
Staying organized with planners, phone reminders, and routines
Finding words and explaining ideas clearly
Getting back to work, school, or driving conversations with more confidence
Video sessions help when driving is off-limits or tiring. A family member is welcome to join and learn the strategies too. Learn more about our adult speech therapy services.
Speech Therapy for El Paso Kids
Sherry also works with children on speech sounds, language, stuttering, social communication, and autism. El Paso children attend El Paso ISD, Ysleta ISD, Socorro ISD, Canutillo ISD, or Clint ISD. Any of these districts will evaluate your child for free if you ask in writing. Our Texas school evaluation guide explains how.
For children under 3, start with El Paso ECI, the Early Childhood Intervention program for El Paso and Hudspeth counties. Anyone can make a referral, including parents. You can also confirm your program in the HHS ECI Program Search.

Follow your doctor's guidance. If thinking or communication problems haven't cleared up in the weeks after an injury, ask your doctor whether a speech-language evaluation makes sense.
