Background
Hi! I’m Penina Levin, a speech-language pathologist with a passion for supporting individuals and families in the areas of speech and language development, orofacial myofunctional skills, and feeding and swallowing.
I’ve had the privilege of working across a variety of settings, including private clinics, schools, home health, and hospital acute rehabilitation units. These experiences have shaped my holistic, client-centered approach and deepened my appreciation for how unique every individual and family truly is.
Opening my own private practice has been a long-time dream of mine. It allows me to create highly individualized treatment plans while building meaningful relationships with my clients and their families. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative, supportive, and tailored to real life—not one-size-fits-all. When appropriate, I also value working closely with other professionals to ensure comprehensive care for my clients.
Outside of work, I’m always learning and continuing to grow in my field—but in my free time, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband and four children, enjoying nature, reading a good book, or getting a workout in.
I look forward to meeting you and your family and supporting you on your journey!
