Dr. Leahy’s journey into the world of rehab began early. During high school at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional, Dr. Leahy sustained two ACL injuries while playing basketball. She endured two surgeries, both with lengthy rehabilitations. She went onto college at Wake Forest University and majored in French and Economics, knowing that someday, she would want to run her own business. After a brief tenure with Merrill Lynch, she realized her passion for helping people heal.
Dr. Leahy specializes in neurorehabilitation, neurodevelopment, pediatrics, orthopedics and geriatrics. She has worked in multiple settings over the past 17 years including the following: Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick on the Brain Injury Team, Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center in Little Silver and Meridian Subacute Rehab at Wall.
In 2020, Dr. Leahy realized her dream of running her own business when she launched Pearl Rehabilitation LLC with her partner, Dr. Marc Perdomo, which offers a mobile rehab approach to physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Pearl Rehab has become the community’s trusted option for in-home care. After receiving overwhelming support, Erin is broadening her reach by partnering with Marc to expand his outpatient, brick and mortar clinics at Responsive Physical Therapy in Oceanport, debuting a new 3,650 sq-ft location at Fort Monmouth in historic Russell Hall in early 2025.
In her spare time, Erin enjoys spending time with her husband Christian, daughter Abigail, son Buddy, family and friends. She is an avid beach goer and sports fan. She especially loves basketball, swimming and camping.
