If you’ve been thinking of starting a private practice, but want to start part-time before diving into full-time, tune in for this episode!
I interviewed Kathleen Salata, a dedicated speech-language pathologist and the owner of Journey Pediatrics Therapy Services in Livonia, Michigan.
Kathleen joined the Start Your Private practice program in 2020 and used the pandemic period to get her business all set up. She began her private practice on the weekends while maintaining a full-time job at a hospital.
In this episode, Kathleen shares her journey of transitioning from having a part-time private practice to leaving her full-time job and being in private practice full-time.
By August 2021, Kathleen had secured a sublease for a room to use on weekends while maintaining her full-time job. In June 2022, Kathleen transitioned to working at her practice full-time. Today, Journey Pediatrics Therapy Services occupies a three-room suite complete with a waiting room and sensory gym.
Kathleen treats a wide range of speech and language disorders at her clinic, with a particular passion for working with children who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to communicate.
Outside of her professional life, Kathleen got married in September 2023. While her husband completes his residency in St. Louis, she remains in Michigan, fully committed to the growth of her practice. In her free time, Kathleen enjoys discovering toys for her clinic at garage sales, spending quality time with family and friends, and staying active with cross-fit.
In Today's Episode, We Discuss:
Kathleen’s story is a great example to those wanting to start small and grow from there. I hope she inspires you to take the next step on your own private practice journey!

Do you have a specific end goal for your private practice, but aren’t really sure how to get there? This episode is perfect for you!
I sat down with Heather Anderson, a speech-language pathologist with a private practice in Monroe, Michigan. Heather started out as a medical SLP, later became a pediatric SLP to start her own private practice, and now sees all ages through her practice, Your Voice Speech Therapy.
I helped Heather get started through the Start Your Private Practice Program. As her business took off, she leveled up to the Grow Your Private Practice Program, which has helped her create a thriving practice doing what she loves.
In this episode, Heather shares what it was like starting her practice on the side of a full-time job, why she pivoted to pediatric services, and how that flexibility eventually allowed her to get back to her zone of genius and experience huge growth.
Heather graduated from The University of Toledo in 2016 with a Master of Arts. Her first exposure to speech pathology was as a junior in high school in 2008. While looking through possible majors at The University of Toledo, the title of speech-language pathology instantly caught her attention. Her mother recommended shadowing a speech-language pathologist at the hospital where she worked, and after taking her advice, decided after just one hour that it was the career for her.
After graduation, Heather began working in a transitional care setting (a segway from acute care into a skilled nursing facility). While working in transitional care, she also worked in acute care at Toledo Hospital, where she learned valuable information for evaluating and treating strokes (in the neuro ICU), dysphagia, cognitive disorders, tracheostomies, motor vehicle accidents, and traumatic brain injuries. She also became certified to perform swallow studies (MBSImP certified).
Heather then went into an outpatient pediatric setting while conducting swallow studies for acute care patients and outpatients. From there, she worked in skilled nursing settings in which she worked heavily with voicing disorders, dysphagia, dementia care, memory impairments, and more. Heather became a Certified Dementia Practitioner while working in skilled nursing and has expertise working in specialized Alzhiemer's/dementia care facilities. She has since continued working in acute care and skilled nursing settings but has always dreamed of owning a private practice.
In Today's Episode, We Discuss:
I hope you find Heather’s story inspiring! If you've been thinking about starting a private practice on the side of your job to have the flexibility for your family that Heather strived for, be sure to tune in!

Is the only way to earn more money to take on more clients?
Thankfully not! But this is where I see so many private practice owners get stuck.

Are you managing a full caseload but still feeling stuck financially?
In my experience, clinicians starting out in their own practice run the business side of things like a clinician, and not like a business owner.
In this episode, I’m sharing three beliefs that every private practice owner should embrace to establish a thriving private practice.
In Today's Episode, We Discuss:
Remember, your practice is a business! And the key to a thriving private practice is to adopt a business mindset. You’ve mastered clinical skills over the years, so it’s time to gain business knowledge and skills that will help you, your business, and most importantly, your clients.
If you already have a private practice and you're ready to dive deeper into topics like profitability, expanding your income, hiring the right team, and setting up systems that actually work, then I’ve got something special for you.
