Speech Therapy:

Speech Therapy can help patients with conditions or injuries that are affecting daily speech and life activities. Our new Speech-Language Pathologist Trent Gunnell, MS, CCC/SLP has over 25 years experience in pediatric and adult speech and swallowing therapies. Speech therapy can help improve the ability to comprehend and express ideas and thoughts, improve self-esteem, enhance vocal quality, help young children with school readiness and language skill development or social skills, and better swallowing function or memory and problem solving skills. Trent truly enjoys enabling patients to help them be their best.

 

Occupational Therapy:

Occupational Therapy can provide patients with a specialized treatment for problems related to changes in the brain and body that may have resulted from injury, abnormality, disease, or aging.  We are excited to welcome our new Occupational Therapist, Tim Jensen who is available to see patients of all ages to conduct a diagnostic evaluation and help develop a treatment plan to maximize your personal recovery goals.  Tim and our OTA, Carlie Dye love doing occupational therapy for the opportunity to work with all ages and abilities and to help them learn or relearn how to connect with their environment and achieve the goal of living life to the fullest!
