About Me

My name is Matt Phillips! I'm a person who stutters, speech therapist, and PhD student. 

I am passionate about providing high quality speech therapy to people who stutter, which I do via teletherapy through the Sisskin Stuttering Center. My stuttering therapy approach is grounded in an Avoidance Reduction Therapy for Stuttering (ARTS®) framework.

I am also committed to improving the evidence base related to stuttering. Specifically, I am interested in conducting research related to client-centered speech therapy in children and adults who stutter, as well as factors that predict which children who stutter cope more resiliently with their communication difference. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD at Michigan State University under the mentorship of Dr. Bridget Walsh.

I previously graduated from UConn with my master's degree in speech-language pathology, as well as undergraduate degrees in speech, language, and hearing sciences and psychology.
