Kristin Arbelo

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

Accepts 32 insurance plans

Hi, I’m Kristin! I became a speech-language pathologist because I love helping people feel confident, connected, and empowered through communication. I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships with clients and families while creating therapy experiences that feel supportive, practical, and personalized.

I’ve worked across a variety of settings, including inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and home health. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals with a wide range of communication, cognitive, and voice needs across the lifespan.

My clinical interests include articulation, fluency, expressive language, cognition, and voice therapy. I have a special passion for working with individuals with Parkinson’s disease and helping clients maintain strong, functional communication skills that support independence and quality of life.

I enjoy continuing to expand my clinical knowledge to better serve diverse client needs. My therapy approach is client-centered, collaborative, and individualized, with a strong focus on empowering clients and caregivers through practical strategies and compassionate care.

Other interests

Outside of being a speech-language pathologist, my interests include spending time with my friends, family, and two dogs. The more time outside in the sunshine, the better! I love gardening, running, biking, and hiking. However, I also enjoy cuddling up with a good book.

From day one, they were incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely invested in my child’s progress. They have a calm, encouraging approach that made sessions feel comfortable and engaging — even through a screen, which is no small feat. They took the time to explain strategies clearly, celebrate small wins, and meet my child exactly where they were. You can tell they truly care about the kids they work with. We’ve seen real growth, but more importantly, my child actually looks forward to sessions. Highly recommend to any family looking for a compassionate and skilled speech therapist.

Kristin Arbelo was excellent, and very patient. The exercises that she prescribed for me, and had me practice with her, helped a lot. My family pointed out that that my voice was sounding much better. It was a pleasure working with Kristin.

Mrs. Kristin always shows great patience with our son during his session when he starts to get distracted. Since he has started the program we have noticed an incredible improvement in his speech.

Ms. Kristin is AMAZING!! She has taken the time to get to know our son and his interests, and she uses those interests to engage him in each session. She takes the time to seek out games that will capture his attention. She is so kind and patient. She is really helping our son to progress with his speech. We went to a living history event at the beginning of the month, and our son was so excited because people understood him so much! Thank you, Ms. Kristin!!!
