about
Leslie Chen, M.A., CCC-SLP
Hi! I'm Leslie and I've had experience in a variety of settings (acute rehabilitation, neuro outpatient, pediatric outpatient, acute care/inpatient, preschool and elementary schools). My favorite activity is hearing from clients about what they would like to get back to (e.g., playing mahjong again, saying "I love you" to their partner, or simply being loud enough to order their Starbucks again) and tailoring an evidence-based treatment plan to achieve their goals.
Outside of the speech therapy realm, I really enjoy sitting in my garden with my husband, baby, and dog!

faq
If you experience challenges with speech, language, voice, or swallowing, you may benefit from speech therapy. Speech therapy addresses several conditions including stroke, brain injury, degenerative diseases (Parkinsons, dementia), or developmental delays.
Speech-Language Pathologists support individuals across all stages of life, whether that means parent coaching to provide an 18-month old with a language-rich environment, rebuilding cognitive-linguistic skills after a stroke or brain injury, or helping someone with Parkinson's regain their voice. Therapy provides the targeted tools needed to navigate the world with clarity and confidence.
