COURTNI DOHERTY, MS, CCC-SLP
Owner & Speech-Language Pathologist
I began a career in marketing straight out of college but decided to return to school a year later to pursue my dream of becoming a speech-language pathologist. I completed my post-baccalaureate work and Master of Science while enrolled in Idaho State University’s online program. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including school districts, so I know how the system works. I currently live in Auburn with my amazing husband, two little boys, two rescue dogs, and eight chickens. I am a passionate advocate for animal-assisted therapy and miss my buddy, Aiden. I've lived in WA my entire life, and I have too many hobbies to list. I love coffee milkshakes, no matter how cold it is outside.
KRISTEN MUNDY, BS, PTA
PT/OT Director & Physical Therapist Assistant
Hi! I graduated from Walla Walla University with a Bachelors in Fitness Management and then went on to get my Physical Therapist Assistant degree from Carrington College. I have worked in several settings throughout my career including outpatient orthopedics and pediatrics. I am so excited to be a part of the team at CCT with my sister, Courtni. I currently live in Puyallup. I enjoy being outside and being active, hanging out with my family and friends, and being the best Auntie I can be for my adorable nephews. I love dessert, especially when it's homemade and local.
KATHY MUNDY

I am so proud to be working at Circle Creek Therapy with my daughters, Courtni and Kristen. I love getting to know all of the clients and their families by name, and I cherish the opportunities I have to connect with parents. I am a very proud grandma of two adorable little boys. I live in Puyallup with my wonderful husband, who is a recently retired teacher of 42 years. My hobbies include my dog, Harrison, crafting, and spoiling my grandsons. I am also looking forward to traveling more with family. Stop by and say "Hello!"

Hello, there! I received my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Western Washington University, where I also completed my undergraduate degree (Go Vikings!). I love being part of the Circle Creek Therapy team, where I get to work with clients across a variety of ages and diagnoses, continue learning through our interdisciplinary approach, and contribute to a safe and supportive therapy environment. Having grown up here in the PNW, I love any time I can enjoy the beautiful green outdoors. I like to spend my weekends reading classic novels and exploring new restaurants with old friends.

Hello! I completed my undergraduate degree at Western Washington University in Bellingham, and then, like Courtni, my graduate degree was completed through Idaho State University's online program. I've been around Circle Creek Therapy in various capacities since nearly the beginning. I live in Northeast Tacoma with my husband and three sweet children. I enjoy reading books and magazines, drinking coffee, walking with my kids and dog, Moka, and spending time with family. One important thing to know about me is that I never skip dessert!
RENÉE COLLINS, BA, SLPA

Hi all! I grew up in a small town in Eastern Washington called Royal City. After working as a hair dresser for 5 years, I found my true passion in speech therapy and helping others be the best versions of themselves.

I enjoy traveling, eating delicious food, entertaining family and friends and outdoor activities.
