MEET KIM
Kimberly Almstrom, MA, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
With over 25 years of experience as a speech and swallowing therapist, Kim has developed clinical skills across the complete scope of her field— assessing and treating patients of all ages with speech, language, cognitive, voice, and swallowing disorders.
In a time where much of healthcare has shifted towards large corporate companies that often have a "factory style" of providing care, Kim recognized a need for a small-scale provider who values one-on-one, quality care.
She founded Complete Scope Speech & Swallowing Services to achieve this goal. Kim also goes above and beyond to incorporate each patient's interests into her therapy sessions— for example, using recipes and grocery lists in therapy sessions for an avid baker or using fishing magazines and a tackle box in sessions for a fisherman. Her sessions are always functional, motivating, and patient-centered!
Kim is highly skilled in diagnosing swallowing disorders using the gold standard in swallowing assessment, FEES (performed with an endoscope with a camera). She also has advanced training in manual therapy and trismus rehabilitation for head and neck cancer management as well as speech, voice, and swallowing disorders. In her spare time, she enjoys being with her family, taking yoga and Pilates classes, shopping, and boating. She is an eternal optimist and positive person which shows in everything she does. Kim looks forward to partnering with you and your loved ones on the journey to recovery!
