Hi, I’m Leah Treister, M.S., CCC-SLP, a licensed medical speech-language pathologist and the founder of Let’s Talk.
Throughout my years working in hospitals, rehabilitation settings, and home health services, I noticed an important pattern: many older adults needed more than one-on-one speech therapy to improve their communication and cognitive skills. What they truly would have benefited from were social interactions and real opportunities to communicate.
That’s why I created Let’s Talk.
I am passionate about helping people stay engaged and involved in their community/ with their peers at every age. I believe communication is more than a skill—it’s a lifeline to connection, identity, and joy. And everyone deserves opportunities to keep those abilities strong.
Some fun facts about me…
- I got married this past Summer!
- I know American Sign Language (ASL) and am involved in the signing community in NYC!
- I love Broadway Shows! In The Heights is my all time favorite and I love to brag that I discovered Lin Manuel Miranda before the rest of America!
- I love food!! I am always open to trying new restaurants around NYC!
I am looking forward to meeting you and supporting your communication!
