Bio
Welcome to Elm Tree Therapy: Rooted in Growth, Guided by Care
At Elm Tree Therapy, PLLC, we believe that communication is the foundation of connection. As a local, family-owned clinic, we don’t just treat symptoms—we support individuals and their families through every season of life. Whether helping a child find their first words or assisting an adult in reclaiming their voice after a stroke, our mission is to provide expert, evidence-based therapy with a deeply personal touch.
Meet the Clinician: Miles Zabin, MS, CCC-SLP
The heart of Elm Tree Therapy is our owner and operator, Miles Zabin. Miles is an enthusiastic, neurodiversity-affirming Speech-Language Pathologist who brings a wealth of diverse clinical experience to his neighbors. His career has spanned the full spectrum of care, including:
Public and Private Therapeutic Day Schools
Outpatient Neurological Rehabilitation Clinics
Skilled Nursing Facilities
Comprehensive Telehealth Services
This broad background allows Miles to see the "big picture" for every client. He understands that a child with Autism has different goals than an adult living with Parkinson’s, yet both deserve a clinician who is energized, empathetic, and relentlessly focused on their specific needs.
Our Philosophy: Person-Centered & Research-Driven
Miles is a firm believer that therapy should never be "one size fits all." By staying at the forefront of the latest research-based evidence, he ensures that every session at Elm Tree Therapy is as effective as it is engaging.
We take a customized, multi-modality approach, incorporating person-centered care that honors the individual's strengths and preferences. We aren't just here to follow a lesson plan; we are here to foster genuine growth and functional independence.
