Feedback from our mentees

What makes our clinic stand out from the others?? We seek mentorship from the rockstars of our field to further our clinical knowledge. Although we have 6+ years of education and have to take continuing education credits, we still have so much more to learn. And, since education and community service are our core values, we encourage our clinicians to reach out to other disorder experts in the field ON OUR TIME (not their own time)! I was one of those 2 mentees for the AMAZING Kristie Knickerbocker. I learned SO much and look forward to learning even more.

My journey with Confident Clinician began about 2 years ago when I attended Kristie, Cara and Aaron’s presentation on using PRAAT for voice evaluations. Since then, my relationship with Kristie has grown into one of a valued mentor, and practice strategist. Kristie has provided my practice with clinical guidance, practical advice on challenging cases and a strong foundation for developing systematic treatment methods rooted in evidence based principles. I leave every session with Kristie feeling more confident and energized. I am so grateful to Kristie for providing clinicians like me, who want to improve their skills in voice assessments and interventions, with this amazing mentorship platform.

I absolutely loved my sessions with Aaron. He is incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining things. He also made me feel confident in what I was seeing and how I was treating patients. I can't say enough good things about my overall experience with Confident Clinician and how meaningful it was for me to be able to learn from him. B.E. SLP

I completed individual sessions with Cara, participated in the Confident Clinician inaugural webinar “The Virtual Clinician,” and utilized a group mentoring package in which I met with Cara again and then had individual sessions with Kristie and Aaron. The Confident Clinician is an incredible resource for speech language pathologists in any stage of their career. It is the real-time, on the job mentoring piece that has been missing from speech language pathology.

I really value the mentorships I have received from you! It is focused 1 on 1 time where I can ask specific questions about assessment and treatment techniques as well as to get your professional perspective on specific cases and their challenges. The quality and quantity of information I gain in these sessions gives me practical applications that I can take right into my next session with my patients. It is so great to get a session recap from you in my email and links to resources you have sent me to supplement what you discussed in our meeting. While I still like to attend larger conferences, I just really value and appreciate being able to get knowledge and skill training that is customized for my current clinical needs.

I am blessed to work with Kristie through my employer. As an early career SLP, working with Kristie has directly impacted my results in the clinic. I feel more confident about my clinical decisions, and I see quick results with my patients. I always leave our sessions with more excitement. Kristie has a gift for imparting her wisdom while strengthening and validating her mentee's unique clinical judgment. Thank you for your work, Kristie!
