Our Story

Founded in 1983, SLEA Therapies has always been driven by a commitment to empowering individuals through personalized care and professional growth. In 2018, we took a significant step forward by transitioning to a 100% employee-owned organization, creating an even stronger sense of ownership, pride, and investment in the work we do. This employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) reflects our belief that a team of dedicated and empowered individuals can make the greatest impact.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our reach to serve even more families and communities, with offices now across the greater Los Angeles area. Despite this growth, we remain deeply committed to the same core values that have guided us from the beginning.

Our team of licensed and credentialed providers works closely with families and other service providers to ensure success in all settings. We believe in providing our staff with ongoing mentorship, support, and opportunities for professional development, ensuring they are equipped to provide the highest quality care.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on making a positive, lasting impact on the lives of those we serve and fostering a supportive environment where our team can thrive.

  • There are many things that I love about SLEA. One of the reasons is because of Lauren and Rina. Both are SLPs, they understand and listen to me whenever I might feel overwhelmed by a situation that is work related. I appreciate that they listen and try to offer solutions during those times. I work hard because I know both are working hard for the growth and betterment of this company as well.

  • I love working for SLEA! From the very first day, I have felt supported by Rina and the rest of the team. When reaching out for help with a problem or question, I've received such friendly, super-quick responses, and I've never been made to feel like I shouldn't have asked. I'm continually impressed with my SLEA colleagues when they present at IEP meetings, and everyone I've interacted with is so collegial. The entire atmosphere at SLEA is positive and friendly; I can really feel it even though I'm working remotely from another state!
