About Kirsten

A therapist who listens before she treats

I'm Kirsten Timmer, a licensed speech-language pathologist based in Rapid City. Over the years, I've learned that every person who walks through my door has a story — and the best therapy starts with hearing it.

My practice serves the full spectrum: young children finding their first words, students navigating school demands, adults rebuilding communication after injury, and families looking for a caring professional who treats them like people, not cases.

I hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA and maintain active licensure in South Dakota. But credentials are only the foundation — what really matters is the trust we build together.

My Approach

Progress, not perfection

Great therapy isn't about rushing to a finish line. It's about meeting you where you are and moving forward at a pace that's real, sustainable, and yours.

1

Listen & Understand

Every journey starts with a conversation. I learn your goals, your concerns, and what success looks like for you.

2

Assess & Plan

Using evidence-based evaluations, I create a clear, personalized plan with measurable goals you'll actually see.

3

Therapy & Practice

Sessions are engaging, practical, and adapted to your learning style — whether you're 4 or 74.

4

Celebrate Progress

We track every win — big and small — and adjust the plan as you grow. You're always moving forward.

"The difference therapy made for our daughter wasn't just in her speech — it was in her confidence. She went from hiding her voice to raising it in class."
