 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Kelly for voice therapy.  The first time there, I found her to be empathetic, encouraging, and caring.  She was ready for me with detailed printed instructions on how to start the work to reacquire my voice.  It has been a slow process on one hand, but a really fast recovery on the other hand.  At first, the results came really quickly.  The expansion of my range took longer.  Through it all, Kelly was there with new ideas, patience, and praise.

I could not have found a better or more caring therapist for me and for my voice.  My voice has become the amazing instrument that it should be.  The range is still a work in progress, but I believe that too will come.  So, thank you, Kelly for being the warm, caring, knowledgeable therapist that you are.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently had the good luck to read an article about a new speech clinic :Empowered Speech Pathology.  I called and was invited to come and meet Dr Kelly Cantrell, Speech Pathologist...she so friendly and gets to the core of your issue right away. without rushing you. I had lost my voice for about 6 months ago and people struggles to understand me. She gave me voice exercises and helpful ways to talk again. I would give her a 5 star rating. Several people I told about her have asked for her card...She is in Foley

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly, the owner and operator of empowered speech pathology is my mother, so this review is obviously biased. I am 26 years old now and since I was a little boy, my mom has come home tired after a days work. When you ask her how her day was she never mentions how she is only how her patients are doing. This is a great representation of how she works with people in the community And focuses on their health above anything else. My mother has been doing this since long before I was born and if you’re having any issues, please reach out to her. There is no one better.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly helped me with a voice/singing problem. She is so professional, yet kind and caring. She is active in several important organizations, and is a powerful speaker and advocate of improved access to speech therapy. Her experience and dedication make her the best choice for any speech/swallowing/voice problems.

Kelly- speech pathologist developed a memory book of family pictures for my sister with Alzheimer’s  so she can look at it to help recall her family.  It allows her to relax and be stress free . Such a great tool in helping her with her memory.
