Andrea Kissee-Beall
Speech-Language Pathologist

Andrea Kissee-Beall (pronounced "Kiss'-ay - Beel") is a licensed speech-language pathologist who specializes in working with toddlers to teens. I am the founder and creator of Vanguard Speech Therapy, which was born out of a passion for empowering children to find their voice and supporting families.

​

I specialize in evaluation and treatment of speech sound disorders, expressive and receptive language disorders, stuttering, and pragmatic (social) language disorders.

​

My journey in this field began with my education at California State University of Fresno, where I obtained a Masters in Communication Disorders and Deaf Studies with a specialization in Speech-Language Pathology. This rigorous program equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of communication disorders and the skills needed to make a lasting impact in the lives of those I serve.

 

What sets me apart as a speech-language pathologist is my unwavering commitment to excellence. I consistently stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in the field, allowing me to provide innovative and evidence-based therapy techniques. 

 

As a mother of two, I understand the importance of fostering strong and meaningful connections with clients and their families; and am committed to providing them with a warm, inclusive, and supportive environment that fosters growth and empowers clients to thrive.

 

One of the unique aspects of my practice is the flexibility I offer through in-home and teletherapy one-on-one sessions. By bringing therapy directly to the comfort of my clients' homes, I create a safe and familiar environment where they can thrive. Additionally, I understand the importance of establishing strong relationships with both children and their families, ensuring that everyone involved feels supported and valued throughout the therapeutic process.

 

If you are seeking a passionate and experienced speech-language pathologist to assist your child in their communication journey, I would be honored to be a part of their progress. Together, we can unlock their  potential and lay the foundation for a lifetime of successful communication.

Vanguard Speech Therapy is proud to support the LGBTQIA+ community through affirming healthcare and a commitment to continued education.
