What if you could combine your passion for helping people with the freedom to serve the clients you love most? That’s exactly what Anne Quirk discovered when she launched True Self Speech Therapy in Providence, Rhode Island.

Anne is a speech-language pathologist specializing in neurological conditions, voice disorders, and gender-affirming voice therapy. After years in nonprofits and hospitals, she began craving more balance, control, and the chance to serve her ideal clients.

With encouragement from colleagues, Anne took the leap into private practice. Now she helps stroke survivors communicate again, supports transgender clients in finding affirming voices, and has built a thriving caseload through word-of-mouth referrals.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Anne has embraced the flexibility of private practice to shape a career that truly reflects her values. By expanding her team and creating resources like her newsletter, News for the Affirming SLP, she’s found ways to support both her clients and her family—while stepping fully into her true self.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The leap from healthcare burnout to starting her own practice
• How gender-affirming voice therapy helped her practice grow in its first year
• Balancing private practice with raising three kids
• And why hiring a team changed everything

Anne’s journey is proof that private practice is possible at any stage of your career—and that specializing in the clients you’re most passionate about can help you stand out, attract referrals, and make a bigger impact.
