A mindful approach to speech therapy

About Me
Ruth Carpio MA, CCC-SLP, TSSLD, BE, CYT
My name is Ruth Carpio and I am a Texas licensed and ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist. I received my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Queens College (CUNY) in Queens, NY in 2011. I have worked with the pediatric and adult populations for over 10 years, treating a wide variety of communication disorders in the schools, rehabilitation, clinical, private practice, in-home and virtual settings.
Having been raised in a bilingual household in New York City, I became very interested early in my career in working with the multicultural population. I went on to obtain my advanced Bilingual Certification in Speech Language Pathology from Columbia University in 2011. Working with diverse populations was the stepping stone to recognizing the need for a holistic therapeutic approach. This experience inspired me to become a better therapist. I realized that therapy should never be a one-size-fits-all approach.
Although I had learned so much from working in traditional speech therapy environments, I still felt like there was something missing. I wanted my therapy sessions to be more than just playing at a desk in a small office with no windows. I began incorporating yoga poses, music and movement and mindfulness activities into my pediatric sessions. I began conducting therapy sessions outside in nature when the weather permitted. I was amazed by the results: my clients were more engaged, I was more engaging and my job suddenly did not feel like a job, it felt like a calling.
In 2021 I moved from New York to Texas. There, I went on to complete my Kids Yoga Certification from Kidding Around Yoga, followed by my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification and Ayurvedic Nutrition Certification from My Vinyasa Practice in Austin, Texas. During this time I started a private practice providing holistic speech, language and feeding therapy to children in San Antonio, Texas. I am now providing therapy to both adult and pediatric clients in the comfort of their homes via 100% virtual sessions.
