About Your Think Link

Your Think Link is a private educational therapy and consulting practice established by Kim Collins. Located in the Lake Norman area of North Carolina, Your Think Link specializes in NILD (National Institute of Learning Development) services. After each child is evaluated by an educational psychologist, Kim Collins can investigate the true root of the learning challenge and customize a plan for best results. Your Think Link also offers consulting and achievement testing.

Kim Collins is an educational therapist with over 25 years of teaching experience. Her passion has always been to help each student meet their academic potential, no matter the challenge. Kim has studied extensively to earn both her NILD and CERI certifications, along with two Masters degrees. After starting her own private practice in the Lake Norman area, she quickly established herself as a highly sought after instructor. Her unique approach creates lasting changes in her students, as she believes that a learning challenge does not have to be a permanent hindrance.
