What families & colleagues say

For more than 33 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside families of preschool and school-age children and teens, and working alongside fellow professionals during some of their most meaningful seasons. Here is what a few of them have shared about our time together.

Patient, dedicated, and committed to helping him succeed

We are so thankful for Ms. Kim and everything she has done for our son and our family. She has worked with our son since he was about five years old, and throughout every stage, including the challenges of COVID—she remained patient, dedicated, and committed to helping him succeed.

From the very beginning, Ms. Kim took the time to truly listen, not only to our son but to us as parents. She always made us feel heard, valued, and involved every step of the way. Her kindness, compassion, and encouragement created such a positive environment that our son genuinely looked forward to every session and absolutely loved working with her.

She went above and beyond to support our son’s growth, celebrating every milestone and believing in him every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact she has had on his confidence and progress. Ms. Kim is not only an exceptional speech therapist but also a truly wonderful person, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Engaging, fun, and thoughtfully designed for each child

My family was fortunate to have Kim as a speech therapist for two of my children at different times. We first had her for my daughter with Down Syndrome. By the time she started preschool she was able to better express her basic needs with Kim's help. A couple years later we were lucky to have Kim again for my son with a speech delay. My son's speech flourished after working with Kim. Through her play-based therapy approach, each session was engaging, fun, and thoughtfully designed to meet each of our child's needs, making it easy for them to learn and participate without pressure. We are incredibly grateful for the impact Kim had on both our children's lives and highly recommend her to any family looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional speech therapist.

Within a month, her stuttering had completely stopped

Our daughter was struggling with stuttering, and finding Mrs. Kim was such a gift to our family. From the very first session, she gave our daughter simple, practical tools that she could understand and actually use. We started seeing a difference almost immediately, and within a month, her stuttering had completely stopped. We were amazed by how quickly she progressed and how much more confident she became when speaking.

She has helped our daughter learn how to slow down, listen to herself, recognize when something doesn't sound quite right, and correct her own speech. Instead of simply correcting her, Mrs. Kim has given her the tools to hear and understand her own mistakes, which has helped build so much independence and confidence.

What has made the experience even more special is how much our daughter genuinely loves Mrs. Kim. Going to speech never felt like an appointment or something she had to do—it became one of the highlights of her week. Mrs. Kim incorporates games and activities into their sessions and has such a natural way of making learning feel fun.

We are incredibly thankful for Mrs. Kim and the impact she has had on our daughter. Not only have we seen such a noticeable improvement in her speech, but we have also watched her become more confident and aware of how she communicates. We couldn't recommend Mrs. Kim enough to any family looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and truly wonderful with kids.

Happier, more outgoing, and finally understood

My daughter has been seeing Kim for speech for 2 years now, and we love her! She has made so much progress and grown in skill and confidence. Kim is great at making speech fun, and interacting with little kids. My daughter loves playing with Kim and is learning so much.

Kim gives us specific things to work on with her, and that really helps us as parents to be involved and be able to work on the skills throughout the week. Our daughter is happier and more outgoing now that she has more words and she is able to be understood! It’s made a huge difference and I’d recommend speech to anyone!

Mrs. Kim has truly changed our lives!

When we first started looking for speech therapy for my youngest, he had a severe speech delay. We tried multiple speech therapy locations near our home, but unfortunately, we just weren’t seeing the progress we had hoped for. As a mom, it was incredibly hard watching him struggle to communicate and wondering if other people could understand him.

Then, through a couple of friends from church, we heard about Mrs. Kim. We were able to get him scheduled with her, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

We are now about a year into therapy, and honestly, his speech is almost unrecognizable compared to where he was last year. He pronounces his words more clearly, slows down to make sure he is saying them correctly, and something that means SO much to me is that he can now be understood by his peers and by people who don’t know him. Seeing him communicate confidently and not have to constantly repeat himself or cry when we don’t understand him has been such a gift.

Mrs. Kim’s Art of Pronunciation program has helped him so much. The strategies and practice have made such a difference in his clarity and confidence that I am now including the program with my students at the school where I teach! But what makes Mrs. Kim so special goes far beyond speech therapy. Over this past year, she has become family to us. She has loved our son, encouraged him, celebrated every little victory with us, and genuinely cared about him as if he were her own. We are so incredibly thankful that God placed her in our lives.

Mrs. Kim, thank you for believing in our boy, being patient with him, loving him, and helping give him a voice. We will forever be grateful for you and everything you have done for our family.

We truly cannot recommend Mrs. Kim enough! She is not just our son’s speech pathologist. She is family.

Her support has now spanned two generations of our children

Working with Mrs. Kim has been an absolute game-changer for our family. We have known Mrs. Kim for a very long time, and her dedicated support has now spanned two generations of our children.

Years ago, she worked with my daughter, who is now 27, when she was just four years old. That early guidance gave her a massive boost of confidence right before starting kindergarten. Now, years later, when we fostered and eventually adopted three children with unique special needs, Mrs. Kim was there once again to guide us through every step. She has helped our kids build essential communication skills, find their unique voices, and navigate complex developmental milestones.

What stood out to us right away was her play-based approach. Mrs. Kim didn't rely on screens, iPads, or apps to keep the kids engaged. Instead, she brought in real toys and focused on genuine, hands-on play. She met the kids at their level, turning every session into an active, joyful experience where real language development happened naturally.

Her support extended far beyond her direct work with our children. Mrs. Kim took the time to empower both my husband and me, equipping us with practical strategies, techniques, and gestural cues to use at home. Having those tools gave us the confidence to seamlessly continue their practice in our daily routines.

The progress our children have made under her care has been incredible to watch. Mrs. Kim brought so much heart, skill, and dedicated attention into our home, and we are so grateful for the lasting impact she’s made on our family's life and confidence.

More than a decade later, she still holds a special place in our family’s story

It has been more than ten years since Kim worked with my son through Early Intervention, when he was between one and three years old, but she is still someone our family remembers with so much love and gratitude.

When your child is that young and struggling with communication and basic skills like feeding, you don’t always know what they need or what the future is going to look like. Kim didn’t just work with my son—she helped us understand him, meet him where he was, and learn how to support his communication and development in our everyday lives.

She had an incredible ability to connect with him while also making me feel supported and confident as his mom. He loved her, we trusted her completely, and she became such an important part of those early years for our family.

My son is 13 now, so many of the little details of those therapy sessions have faded with time. What hasn’t faded is how strongly I remember the impact she had on him and on us. When someone can still hold such a special place in your family’s story more than a decade later, I think that says more than anything else could.

I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but who genuinely cares about the children and families she works with. We were incredibly lucky to have her.
