If you want to get into private practice with purpose and confidence, this episode is for you!  

My guest today is Eliana Provenzano-Lewis. Eliana is a bilingual speech-language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She started Monarch Speech and Language Therapy in 2023 after feeling determined to explore different work environments.

Using what she learned in the Grow Your Private Practice program, Eliana is expanding her services to include parent coaching, educational workshops, and plans for hiring other therapists to grow her reach.

In this episode, Eliana shares the challenges and triumphs of private practice, as well as how she's creating a flexible career that aligns with her values and family life.

Eliana is a nationally certified and state licensed Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Oklahoma.  She received a double bachelor's degree in Communication and Sciences Disorders and Spanish. She then completed her Master's degree of Science, in Communication Sciences & Disorders.  Eliana earned all her degrees at Oklahoma State University, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. 

Eliana's area of special interests include working with Early Intervention and Bilingualism (Spanish/English). Additionally, Eliana is very passionate about using a whole-child, and family-centered approach by teaching, advocating, and assisting caregivers with getting their child all the support they need across multiple environments (home, school, community) as soon as possible. 

During her free time, Eliana enjoys spending time with family and friends, enjoying time outdoors, exercising, listening to audiobooks, cooking, being a plant and dog mom, and trying new restaurants in the Tulsa area with her Husband, Dereck. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Eliana’s background in SLP and what it was like graduating during the pandemic
• How she embraced her niche of bilingual therapy
• Eliana’s advice for balancing school contracts and private clients
• How a client-first approach takes the pressure off of marketing yourself
• The inspiration behind Eliana’s practice and what it means to her and others

I hope Eliana’s story inspires you to take the first steps toward building a practice that will give you the kind of life you’ve always wanted!
