Angie Thudium

Owner, SLP Therapist

Hi, I’m Angie — a Santa Monica-based speech-language therapist and a fellow mom of two kids. Over the past 15+ years, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of amazing families and various skilled occupational therapists, physical therapists, pediatricians, developmental pediatricians, behaviorists, preschools, private and public schools. I've worked with a variety of kids over the year, and right now, 90% of my speech therapy kids are from preschool to 3rd grade. I am committed to helping your child communicate clearly so you can stop feeling worried about them falling behind. I believe every kid deserves to communicate with ease and that you deserve to understand your child.

SLP Therapist

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders from California State University, Los Angeles and my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Nova Southeastern University. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and adults with a wide range of communication disorders and developmental or medical needs across clinic, home, school, and acute rehabilitation settings, including within Glendale Unified School District. I'm passionate about providing individualized, play-based therapy that supports functional communication, self-advocacy, and each family’s cultural values and traditions. Additionally, I'm fluent in Armenian and I have extensive experience supporting bilingual clients and AAC users through both low-tech and device-based communication systems.

SLP Therapist

I first realized that I wanted to be a Speech and Language Pathologist when I was a senior in high school. I started volunteering at UCLA Hospital in pediatrics, and one day a nonverbal four-year-old boy who I had been assigned to finally said "up!" when he was pushing buttons for the elevator. I remember coming home to share the success story with my mom, and realizing that this was what I wanted to do. I have spent my career working in public schools and private practice in the San Diego and Los Angeles area. I have had an incredible career, and I love being able to use play to provide the methods necessary to enable a child to effectively communicate.
