In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Kristin Kudarauskas, a Start Your Private Practice and Grow Your Private Practice student, to talk about how she started a private practice that serves her community.

Kristin shares her journey of starting her private practice, how her faith supported her through the entire process,  and how she uses one of our Casefiller Strategies that we teach in the Grow Your Private Practice program. 

Kristin received her Master of Science degree in Communication Disorders from Emerson College in 2005. Considered a “Jackie of all trades,” she has served families and their loved ones from age 4 to 104 for over 17 years. 

Early on, she had the honor to work with students in various public and private school systems, with a specific focus on enhancing communication for students on the Autism Spectrum and with moderate to severe physical disabilities. Kristin transitioned to serving adults with both developmental and acquired speech, language, voice, cognitive, and swallow deficits. It has been her dream to open and thrive in her own private practice to serve the greater community in which she lives. She resides in Fredericksburg, VA with her husband, three children, and two dogs.

Kristin holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, as well as her Speech-Language Pathology license in the state of Virginia. A lifelong learner, Kristin enjoys engaging in a variety of continuing education courses to ensure her treatment protocols are effective and timely, providing top-of-the-line evidence-based approaches.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Kristin knew it was time to start her private practice
• When she decided to go all-in on her private practice
• How Kristin’s faith has carried her through her private practice journey
• The values that Kristin operates her business around
• The importance of building trust within your community
• Creating a practice that serves you

I have known Kristin for almost 20 years, so I may be a bit biased, but her dedication to her community and her values are truly inspiring. She is the perfect example of someone who had a great career as an SLP and worked in a variety of settings and then finally decided that she was ready to take full control over her professional, personal and financial life.

Are you holding back from starting your private practice because you’re worried that you don’t have enough money saved up? 

This is what I hear from many SLPs and OTs, but you don’t actually have to have a bunch of money saved up! You can keep your costs very low at the start and grow as your practice grows. 

In today’s episode of Private Practice Success stories, I sat down with Michelle Eliason who didn’t let the investment scare her. She started her private practice debt-free from her kitchen table and now she has grown it to two different locations!

Michelle Eliason is an Occupational Therapist and private practice owner. She began a consulting company in 2016 and now owns two neurological and physical restorative outpatient practices in New York as well as an online mentorship and resource site for occupational therapy students and practitioners seeking to utilize their full scope in clinical practice. 

Michelle is now an OT mentor for our Start Your Private Practice students where she teaches them how to market their services on a shoestring budget, and her trainings have been an invaluable resource. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Why Michelle started her own private practice
• The importance of setting goals
• How Michelle started her business on a small budget
• Learning to think like a business owner
• How Michelle started multiple locations
• Why quality service over quantity is important
• Tips for growing your team

I love how Michelle saw a need in her area and decided to fill it. She had a simple beginning and is now experiencing so much success. And guess what? You can do the same! If you have something to bring to the table, you can start from your kitchen table, just like Michelle did. Let us help you get there!

Referrals can be a powerful tool to utilize in your business. By serving your clients well and forming good relationships with others in related fields, you can change the trajectory of your private practice by receiving referrals. 

In today’s episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Yasmin Rios-Schultz, a Start Your Private Practice student who grew her private practice to full-time and now gets a large number of referrals from doctors. 

Yasmin Rios-Schultz lives in Austin, TX with her husband, son, and dog.  She has been an SLP for 13 years and has owned her adult-focused private practice, Lake Austin Speech Therapy, for 2 years. 

She is a mobile therapist and also provides telehealth for those who are outside of her driving range. She is a 6-time marathoner, and a lover of the outdoors, camping, road trips, and travel. 

She formed her private practice to be independent and in charge of the decision-making for her therapy services. She wanted to decide her own work hours and gain the flexibility for herself and her family that she didn’t previously have when working for another company. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Getting clients through Medicare
• Tips for connecting with doctors to get referrals
• What Yasmin’s private practice looks like 
• How private practices take time to build
• How her private practice helped Yasmin get Lasik surgery
• Yasmin’s plans for hiring help so that she can expand her practice
• The benefits of telehealth

Yasmin is a perfect example of someone who has a lot to offer and physicians in her area are taking note and referring to her. She's working with her ideal client population on her own terms and filling a need in her community. And guess what? You can do that, too! Just like I helped Yasmin get started, I would love to help you get started too. 

It's almost Private Practice Bootcamp time! Our big FREE Private Practice Bootcamp event kicks off on September 26th. It's a 3-day event to help you plan a private practice that's perfect for you. It includes lots of participation prizes and giveaways!

As SLPs, a lot of us get into this profession because we just want to help people. Helping people is just what we do. And when we aren’t able to do that, it takes a serious toll on us emotionally. This quickly leads to burnout which can leave you feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. 

But you don’t have to stay that way. You can find more fulfillment by starting your own private practice where you get to build the life you want on your own terms. 

In this week’s episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Lydia Lacy, who was feeling stuck and unfulfilled in her job. This led her to start her own private practice which has given her so much more happiness and fulfillment. 

Lydia started working for Detroit Public Schools right after graduating in May of 1999. She was placed in a Title 1 elementary school in the heart of the city and then moved around to other settings throughout the district. Lydia and her family moved to Georgia in 2011 where she continued to work in education. She has over 20 years of experience working in the school setting serving students from preschool to high school. 

When it was time for a change of pace, she switched over to working for a private practice in 2018 but then moved back to the school setting as a contractor. That’s when she decided that maybe it was time for her to start her own private practice. 

While researching, she came across Jena’s website and joined her Facebook group then reached out to some local therapists to ask more questions! 

As a married mother with four children, Lydia is very busy working her full-time position in the schools while growing her part-time business, Katalyst Speech Therapy. It can be stressful at times trying to navigate each role, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

In her free time, she enjoys exercising, reading, spending time with her kids, and dating her handsome husband.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Lydia’s journey to starting her own private practice
• The power of connecting with other people in the profession
• How Lydia finds clients
• The benefits of being an insurance provider
• Lydia’s experience with accepting Medicaid
• The importance of having a mentor when starting a private practice

I hope you found this episode inspirational. I love Lydia’s persistence and how she finally took the steps and started her private practice. She is the perfect example of someone who wanted to do it, did it, and is now encouraging others to go for it too.

Are you dreaming of more flexibility so that you have time for the things that you love? 

Starting a private practice is the perfect way to live life on your own terms. You set your hours and you decide what’s important to you. Since it’s your private practice, you get to run it how you see fit. 

In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Tracy Droege to talk about how she grew her private practice with flexibility in mind so that she could still make time for her other passion- tennis. Tracy shares her goals for hiring, marketing tips, and how she plans to integrate systems as she grows. 

Tracy Droge is an occupational therapist and certified ADHD provider in Temple, Texas. She started her OT private practice, The Rise Center, in order to have more flexibility as she cared for a sick family member. Although it was born out of a sad situation, she has been able to turn it into a happy one by caring for children and families who benefit from her services.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Tracy has created her practice around her life
• Tips for prioritizing things that are important
• When Tracy decided to start growing her private practice
• The hiring process
• The systems that have helped Tracy grow her business
• How Tracy stepped into the CEO role
• Time management tips for private practice owners

I hope you found this episode inspiring. I love how Tracy created a private practice with flexibility in mind. Between caring for family members and her tennis career, having flexible hours has allowed her to have significantly more control over her time than she would if she was working in a regular setting.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the idea of starting a private practice? 

Many SLPs and OTs feel that way and it’s totally understandable. Starting a whole business can seem like an impossible task when you are already dealing with overflowing caseloads. Rest assured, it can still be done! By taking little steps every day, you will be ready to take on your first private practice clients in no time. 

In today’s episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Liz Seagrave Tantareanu to talk about how she did it little by little and now has a successful practice. You’ll also learn how she became a Medicare provider and how she deals with things like people pleasing and perfectionism. 

Liz is the founder of Golden Coast Speech Therapy Services in San Rafael, California, and has been a practicing speech-language pathologist for over 10 years. Liz's clinical interests include neurogenic voice disorders and Parkinson’s Disease, care of the professional voice, gender-affirming voice therapy, early intervention for language delays and speech sound disorders, and literacy development. She is trained in LSVT LOUD®, SPEAK OUT!®, PhoRTE voice therapy, and Hanen: It Takes Two to Talk®. 

Liz received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master of Science in Medical Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Washington. Her graduate work included research in the Vocal Function Lab at UW, investigating the construct of listener effort and speech intelligibility in individuals following total laryngectomy.  

She completed a graduate internship at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford and a Clinical Fellowship at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in West Los Angeles. She has worked across a range of settings and patient populations, including an interdisciplinary pediatric clinic, preschool early intervention classrooms, and acute and outpatient care, before founding Golden Coast Speech Therapy Services in 2020. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Liz got started in the profession and decided to start a private practice
• When Liz decided to make her first hire
• How becoming a Medicare provider grew her business
• Why confidence comes from taking action
• The importance of doing it scared
• How private practice allows Liz full control of her professional and personal life
• The benefits of taking small steps to start your own practice

It’s totally possible to jump into your private practice if that’s what you want. Just remember that it’s also okay if you just want to dabble and take it slow. As long as you do something to move the needle forward, even if it’s just writing what you want down on paper, you’re one step closer to making it happen. 

Liz is the perfect example of taking small steps to help you build big dreams. If you want to learn how we help SLPs and OTs start, grow and scale private practices, please visit www.IndependentClinician.com.

Are you a military SLP or OT? 

It used to be pretty complicated to start your own private practice as a member of the military since you had to relocate more often; however, that’s not really the case now. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Rachael Harrelson, a decorated Navy veteran to talk about how she started a successful private practice on the side of her full-time job. 

Even if you aren’t in the military, you’ll love this episode because Rachael shares some amazing tips for starting your practice on the side, the importance of Google reviews, and becoming a health insurance provider. 

Rachael Harrelson, M.S. CCC-SLP is the owner of Southern Star Speech and Language Therapy in Burleson, TX.  She is a Texas State licensed and nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologist. Prior to starting her practice, Rachael worked in various settings including in-patient rehabilitation, home health, and public schools.

Rachael received a Bachelor’s and Master's Degrees at Baylor University and is a veteran of the United States Navy, where she served 8 years as a Hospital Corpsman in the medical field. Rachael has had extensive experience assessing and treating clients with autism, articulation, apraxia of speech, phonological and fluency disorders as well as pragmatic and receptive/expressive language impairments. 

​Rachael believes in a team approach to therapy and therefore encourages collaboration with parents, teachers, and other therapists to provide the most encouraging and successful environment for her clients. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The route Rachael took to start taking insurance
• How Rachael utilized Facebook groups to grow her practice
• How military families can still start a private practice
• What to do if you want to move after starting your private practice
• How Rachael finds inspiration for her private practice
• How Google reviews can grow your business
• The importance of putting yourself out there

I love seeing the ways that students in my program are making their private practice work for them. Rachael wanted to take the summer to be more present for her kids, so she did! She adjusted her schedule to include summer hours where she took 4-day weekends. It’s her private practice, and she calls the shots. 

Everything that worked for Rachael can totally work for you too. To learn more about how we help SLPs and OTs start, grow, and scale private practices (and how we can help you too!), visit IndependentClinician.com.

Are you at maximum capacity with your clients that you see on the side and considering making the leap to full-time private practice? 

I always recommend starting your private practice on the side, but there comes a time when you grow so much that you have to choose if you want to stay small or go all in. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Ali Moulton, one of my Grow Your Private Practice students, to talk about how she started and grew her private practice. 

Ali is a certified member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is licensed as a Speech-Language Pathologist by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia. She received her graduate degrees in Speech and Language Pathology and Learning Disabilities from Northwestern University. She received her undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a concentration in Speech and Language Pathology from Northwestern University.

Ali enjoys working with children of all ages and prides herself on having a child-centered approach to evaluations and treatment programs. She has experience working in the medical, clinical, and public school settings and has extensive training in interdisciplinary models of assessment and treatment to optimize outcomes.

Ali began her career at Kennedy Krieger Institute and participated in the Maternal and Child Health Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) program. She has assessed and provided treatment for children with a variety of communication disorders, including speech sound production disorders [articulation disorder, phonological delay or disorder, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), Dysarthria], orofacial myofunctional disorders, cognitive communication disorders, receptive and expressive language disorders, fluency disorders, and language-based learning disabilities.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Ali got started with her private practice
• How she knew it was time to go full-time 
• Setting boundaries as you grow
• How Ali finds her clients
• Marketing tips
• The benefits of having a mobile practice
• The systems that Ali uses to run her private practice

Straddling two worlds is hard. There comes a time when you have to make the leap from part-time private practice owner to full-time. With the Grow Your Private Practice program, Ali was able to make the transition without any stress.  

I don’t want you to be stressed out in private practice, I want you to be successful like Ali. I hope this episode inspires you to take the leap so that you can start thinking like a business owner and find the success you deserve. 

If you want help to grow your private practice in a successful vs. stressful way, we would love to help you in the Grow Your Private Practice Program.

Whether you want to start a private practice or grow your existing private practice, I can help you get the freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financial abundance that you deserve. Visit my website www.independentclinician.com to learn more.

I am a firm believer that starting a private practice part-time is the best way to start, but it isn’t the best way to grow. 

Growing your private practice takes time, support, and dedication. In today’s episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Amanda Donaldson, a Grow Your Private Practice student, to talk about how she knew it was time to invest in herself and her business and go all in to grow in a systematic rather than stressful way. 

Although originally from Canada, Amanda spent most of her childhood in northeast New Jersey. She attended Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania where she completed the five-year accelerated program earning her bachelor's and master's degree as well as a teaching certificate. Immediately following graduation, she moved to Phoenix, Arizona.

Amanda worked for 4.5 years in various public schools and a charter school system. During this time, she worked with children from preschool to 8th grade and has ample experience with speech and language delays, developmental delays, Autism, specific learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, fluency, and nonverbal students. Additionally, she has more than four years of experience working with adults in a rehabilitation setting.

She started CommuniCAN Speech Therapy in September 2019 to be able to reach and serve clients and families in their home environments. As a young child, speech and language therapists made a difference in her life as she struggled with the articulation of certain sounds. Now, she is passionate about giving back and making a difference in the lives of others.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Amanda is on track to hit six figures her first year in business
• Why she chose to have a mobile office
• Why a smaller caseload creates a bigger impact
• Ways to attract new clients 
• Marketing tips that Amanda uses to find clients
• Why Amanda wishes she would have started her private practice sooner
• Tips for hiring your first contractor or employee

If you have a growing caseload and you’re trying to decide if going all in on yourself and your private practice is your next move, I hope this episode is helpful.

People join the Grow Your Private Practice program when they are overwhelmed by their growth and know that they need help to build a sustainable private practice. This is exactly what we're helping Amanda and other growth-focused SLPs and OTs with.

Starting a private practice is easier than growing one. If you want help to grow your private practice in a successful vs. stressful way, we would love to help you in the Grow Your Private Practice Program. Click here to learn more: www.GrowYourPrivatePractice.com.

Are you still dreaming of starting your own private practice?

In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with one of my Start Your Private Practice and Grow Your Private Practice students, Patricia Saenz. She started her private practice after just 5 years in the profession!

In this episode, she shares why she started her private practice and how she let go of imposter syndrome. She also shares some really good information about how to become an insurance provider.

Patricia has been a private practice owner for a little over a year and an SLP for 5.  She is a single mom to a wildly outgoing and fun teenage boy.  He's 15 and her best friend.  Everything she has done was for him and because of him.

Her educational journey began in 2008 a year after her son was born.  After changing degree programs and attending 7 different colleges over the course of 9 years, she graduated from Our Lady of The Lake University in 2017.  She’s worked in school, home health, and clinic settings.  She’s always known her path was to be an owner; however, she did not know how soon that time would come.

Her practice is built on the foundation of building strong relationships.  It is so important to her to have all of her families and patients feel safe, encouraged, cared for, comfortable, and heard.  While her practice is still fairly new, she feels more accomplished and fulfilled in her career than ever before.  It has also improved her personal life.

When she is not working, she is spending time with her family.  She enjoys watching movies, going to arcades, and bowling, and her newest activity has been escape rooms! 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Patricia decided to start her private practice
• How referrals helped her business grow
• The biggest advertising source for Patricia’s private practice
• The kinds of clients that she serves in her practice
• How you can be a generalist and specialist practice at the same time
• The benefits of working with a team
• How she got started with insurance
• How to deal with imposter syndrome

It can be scary to decide to follow your dreams and finally start a private practice. Imposter syndrome may tell you you’re not ready, but people like Patricia are the perfect example of why that just isn’t true. She knows what she wants, she makes it happen, and it is so inspiring.

I'm doing a Free Training called “How to Start Your SLP or OT Private Practice" on Tuesday, July 26th at 9 pm EST. I'm going to cover the ins and outs of private practice and major mistakes to avoid. Click Here to register: www.PrivatePracticeTraining.com.
