I’m Kirstin Warren, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2022, as a bilingual speech-language pathologist. I earned my undergraduate degree from Baylor University and my master's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in a school setting.

As a speech pathologist, I believe therapy should be fun, functional, and individualized to each child’s strengths, needs and interests. For me, therapy is most effective when I can collaborate with families to help children use the skills they learn in therapy at home and in the community.

In my spare time I enjoy travelling, trying new restaurants, attending barre classes and spending time with friends and family. p>
