Chelsea Levin, M.S., CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

Chelsea is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and the owner of Tiny Tides Speech Therapy. After completing her bachelor’s degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Colorado, Chelsea moved to San Diego in 2014 to pursue her Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology at California State University San Marcos.

Throughout her career, Chelsea has worked in private practices across San Diego County, where she discovered her passion for early intervention. She believes strongly in the power of play and the importance of involving parents in the therapy process to support meaningful progress at home.

Chelsea has extensive experience working with children with autism spectrum disorder, articulation concerns, language impairments, sensory processing differences, and auditory comprehension challenges. She opened Tiny Tides Speech Therapy to provide a warm, child-centered space where young children can build confidence and communication skills through play.

In her free time, Chelsea enjoys exploring all that San Diego has to offer, from coastal walks to playing pickleball, visiting local cafes, and browsing farmers markets.

  • "Our children love their sessions, and we trust her expertise completely"

    For the past three years, both of our preschool-aged children have worked with Chelsea, and the impact has been tremendous. She is warm, thoughtful, deeply caring, and highly effective in helping them reach their goals. Our children love their sessions, and we trust her expertise completely. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and recommend her to any family.
