Kimberly Grunde

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)

About me

Hi, I'm Kimberly! I was initially interested in science and healthcare in college, and then through some courses and volunteer work, I also became interested in education. From there, I discovered the field of speech pathology, and it seemed like the perfect combination of those interests. Before coming to Expressable, I worked in the school setting for five years. I have continued to develop my practice and completed trainings related to speech sound production, language development, autism, and fluency, as well as a master's level course in assessing English language learners. I enjoy working together with families and creating personalized learning experiences to help my clients meet their goals.

It's always such a pleasure working with Kimberly. My daughter is so happy with her therapist, and she has been doing an amazing job helping my daughter. She definitely deserves a raise! So patient, kind, and has done WONDERS for my daughters speech impediments!!! 10 stars!

We love our therapist, Kimberly G. and how patient she is with my daughter and I. My baby is very delayed in her speech, but the tips I’m being given to help my daughter practice daily has been so helpful! Thank you!

Kimberly is the best! She is so patient with my daughter, and so kind. My daughter has quite a few speech issues, and Kimberly has been working with her SO well - my daughter is really flourishing and thriving with her! So happy! :)

We have Kimberly working with our daughter, and she is an absolute delight. She took the time to get to know my daughter and personalize the tasks to my daughter's liking. My daughter is someone who is very shy if she doesn't know you, and won't say a single word to you - with Kimberly, it's like she is a part of the family. My daughter chats away with her like she has known her her entire life. SO HAPPY we chose Expressable for our speech needs.

My son really enjoys Kimberly. In fact he looks forward to to his sessions. He loves her Enthusiasm and praise. I’ve also have learned so much about how to better teach my son how to talk. It’s only been 2 weeks but I see great improvement and I can’t wait to see how much he progresses.

She is really kind and friendly with my son and he liked interacting with her as well.
