Mila Therapy Services, PLLC
Mila is a private practice created to fit your needs. We offer speech/language therapy services via teletherapy, in-home, and in-clinic sessions. At this time we offer services through SC Babynet, a growing list of insurances, and also offer a flat fee rate with SuperBill if you desire. Sessions are hands-on, and parent/guardians are encouraged to participate. Parent education is provided during each session. In addition, the therapist will provide suggestions of activities to complete in-between treatment sessions to encourage carry-over of skills.
Mila is owned and operated by Kacie Adkins, M.S. CCC-SLP and her husband Jason.
Mila Therapy Services was born July 17, 2020. Mila comes from the Greek work μίλα ~ pronounced “mee-lah” which means to speak well. Jason and Kacie pray and speak over your child that they will learn to speak and communicate with ease.
