Things were BUSY tonight at the clinic. Everyone give a warm welcome to our newest SLP, Kristy Knutson! She will be working at the clinic on Tuesday's.

With more than 20 years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, Kristy brings a depth of knowledge, skill, and compassion to her work with children and families. She utilizes a child-led, strengths-based approach to therapy, carefully following each child’s interests to ensure sessions are engaging, meaningful, and motivating. Her clinical experience spans a wide range of communication needs, with particular expertise in supporting children with autism and speech sound disorders.

Outside of her professional role, she enjoys spending time with her two daughters, ages 19 and 17, and supporting them in their athletic pursuits. She has a strong appreciation for the outdoors and enjoys hiking, skiing, and fishing. More recently, she has taken up Pickle Ball and enjoys the opportunity it provides to stay active and connected. She also loves spending time with her Boston Terrier, "Queenie" who she adopted and needs extra support/LOVE!

A message from Kristy:
"I truly enjoy partnering with families, because you know your child best and play an important role in their communication journey. The part of my job I love most is building those special connections with children—the ones that help communication feel easier, more natural, and exciting."

After a little time off to spend holidays with family, it’s been such a great week to be back!!

I had the best day today and was reminded by a few of my littles that meeting them where they are isn’t as hard as it seems. And, bonus … it creates some of my most favorite moments!! ♥️

I am excited to share that I recently had the opportunity to join The Independent Clinician on her podcast to talk about the beginnings of my private practice journey, the challenges that shaped those early stages, and the steps that helped me move from an idea to a fully operating practice.

During the conversation, I also discussed the valuable role that the Next Level Private Practitioner Program has played in my development as a business owner. The structure, guidance, and practical tools within the program have helped me better understand the administrative and strategic sides of running a practice, while also giving me a clearer vision for how to continue growing in a sustainable and thoughtful way.

This episode offers a look at the real process behind starting a private practice—what I learned, what I would do differently, and what continues to motivate me as I move forward. I hope it encourages other clinicians who may be considering a similar path or who are seeking direction as they build their own practices.

🎄✨ It’s time to Light Up Princeton! ✨🎄

We’re so excited to join in the holiday fun this year with our Speech Therapy Solutions tree — themed “Acts of Kindness!” 💖

Each ornament on our tree celebrates the little ways we can make the world brighter — sharing a smile, helping a friend, saying something kind, or giving a warm hug. 💫

As you drive through the trees and take in all the sparkle, we hope our tree reminds you that the best decorations this season come from the heart. 💕

Through the holidays and every day — kindness still matters! 🌟

🎄❄️ Tree decorating day! ❄️🎄

My family and I bundled up and braved the cold this morning to decorate our “Acts of Kindness” themed tree for Light Up Princeton! 💖

Frozen fingers and all, we had so much fun (minus the melt downs 🤪) getting into the holiday spirit — and it was totally worth it to help spread a little kindness and cheer. 🌟

Can’t wait to see all the beautiful trees shining bright this season! ✨
