Erin Van Handel

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 44 insurance plans

Hi! I'm Erin. I believe that the way in which we express ourselves through communication is a key part of our identity, and it is the greatest privilege of my life to have the opportunity to help others find their voice and/or communication style. I am certified in the McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP) and have experience working in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and the teletherapy setting. I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, routines-based, strengths-based, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
