Today’s episode is a special one! Guests Marissa and Roshni remind us that the journey to private practice looks different for everyone, you just have to do what works for you!

Marissa Joy and Roshni Patel are Start Your Private Practice alums who transitioned from demanding high-pressure environments to their own thriving practices. Their stories are just like yours and I’m excited for them to share their advice and successes with you!

In this episode, Marissa and Roshni share everything about getting started in private practice, from navigating new challenges to how it’s changed their lives and careers for the better.

Marissa Joy is the owner and Speech-Language pathologist at Ripple Speech Services, LLC - a practice that serves children and adults to speak, swallow, and breathe better. In her 11 years as an SLP Marissa has served in a number of settings, and even a brief hiatus from being an SLP, but found her passion through personal experience with her youngest son. Marissa is a Pennsylvania Licensed and ASHA certified speech pathologist and always strives to provide collaborative, personalized therapy for every person that walks through her doors.
