Kjirsten Keetch, MS, CCC-SLP
Hi, I'm Kjirsten! I live in Utah County with my husband and four kids, and I've been a pediatric speech therapist for 9+ years. I have a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology and love to work with parents to help their children rapidly improve their communication skills. I pride myself on therapy that is rooted in high-quality research and in developing great relationships with my students and their families. I specialize in speech sound disorders, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and phonological impairments.​
Mackenzie Hymas, MS, CCC-SLP
Hi, I'm Mackenzie! I'm very passionate about being a speech and language pathologist and cherish the ability to serve and work with families to help bring about the joy and gift of communication. I graduated with both my undergraduate and master’s degrees from Utah State University. During my graduate program, I completed specialized training in Listening and Spoken Language (LSL), helping children with hearing impairments learn to listen through their devices and acquire spoken language. This particular area of the field is what drove me to pursue this career, as my mom is profoundly deaf. Due to the hard work of dedicated professionals, I am able to communicate comfortably with my mom and she, with others. I am passionate about working with the pediatric population including, but not limited to, early language delays and articulation disorders. I grew up in a small town in Northern Wyoming and love spending time with my husband, singing, and playing pickleball and volleyball.

My areas of expertise include: early intervention, alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), gestalt language processing (GLP) hand helping those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Abby Jensen, MS, SLP
Hi, I'm Abby! I recently completed my master's degree at BYU and am excited to be serving children and families in Utah Valley.
​
I enjoy working with children of all ages and believe that every child deserves to feel supported, encouraged, and successful. One of my favorite parts of being a speech-language pathologist is getting to know each child as an individual and finding ways to make therapy engaging and meaningful for them.
​
I love partnering with families and believe parents deserve a clinician who listens, cares, and sees the best in their child while helping them navigate communication challenges with confidence. My goal is for children to know that therapy is a place where someone is on their side, cheering them on every step of the way.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, playing tennis and golf, and reading a good book.
