Hello, I’m Yena Kim, a bilingual speech-language pathologist with Hesed Speech, providing tele-health services in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and California (pending). With over six years of experience, I support children, adults, and bilingual individuals in building confident, meaningful communication skills. My therapy style is client and heart-centered and grounded in evidence-based practices, with personalized plans that reflect each client’s needs, goals, and learning style! Originally from Orange County, CA, I now call Tampa, FL home. I value cultural connection (and great food!), enjoy golfing, traveling, and I’m a proud puppy parent to Remy - who may make a cameo during sessions.

Bio
I am best positioned to work with children, adults, and bilingual individuals seeking thoughtful, engaging speech and language support. I especially support clients who benefit from individualized therapy that balances warmth with proven, goal-focused strategies. My sessions are interactive and confidence-building, creating a space where clients feel comfortable, motivated, and supported. By using engaging activities and ongoing progress tracking, I adapt therapy to what works best for each person, helping them develop communication skills at a pace that feels both achievable and empowering.
