Kimberly Hinks
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)
Hi! I’m Kimberly. As someone who received speech therapy as a young child, I was always drawn to helping others and showing them their fullest potential in everything they do. I have have always wanted to be an advocate to help people find their voice. I love assisting others with their big and small wins in all aspects of communication.
My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including early intervention, private practice, and university clinics. I am trained in the SOS Feeding Approach and have experience supporting a wide range of communication and feeding needs. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a professor of Phonetics and Phonology and Language Development, which has deepened my knowledge and strengthened my evidence-based approach to therapy.
My clinical approach is highly individualized, holistic, and client-centered, with an emphasis on sensory integration strategies to support regulation and engagement. I incorporate routines-based practices to promote meaningful carryover and prioritize family involvement, strengths-based care, and functional outcomes. My goal is to help each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.
