Are you ready to take your private practice full-time? 

I know when you are first getting started, it can seem overwhelming to think about everything you need to do to get to that point. In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, we are talking to one of my students, Kristin Beasley,  who started her private practice and grew it from zero to 10 clients in one month! 

She provided high-quality service to her clients and the referrals started rolling in. She took her private practice full-time and now enjoys much more balance and fulfillment than ever before. 

Kristin has extensive experience in the field of Speech-Language Pathology, as she has worked in several settings, including public and private education, early intervention, pediatric and adult medical facilities, and clinic-based and home health settings.  Kristin has experience in a multitude of speech, language, and feeding disorders, ranging from birth through adulthood.  While the understanding, knowledge, and experience provide a foundation and basis for therapy, Kristin’s passion for families and relationships brings her skills to life.  Kristin’s primary focus is the importance of building and growing relationships with her clients and families.  

Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Arizona in 2003 and a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Northwestern University in 2006.  Kristin holds credentials with the American Speech and Hearing Association and is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Arizona.  

Kristin lives in Arizona with her husband, three daughters, and two Goldendoodles. Hiking, traveling, and exploring new adventures are a few of Kristin's favorite things. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Why Kristin almost left the field of speech pathology
• How she decided to start a private practice
• How referrals grew Kristin's business quickly
• What Kristin did to take her practice full-time
• What Kristin’s business looks like now
• How she utilizes different payers sources that send her referrals
• Kristin’s mentality when her business faces a setback

I love that Kristin pointed out that there are seasons of life that are really hard and there are really beautiful seasons. Yes, starting a private practice can seem hard, but just think about how beautiful it will be when you reach your business goals. 

I have had so many students that have really impressed me and Kristin is one of them. She stands out as someone who keeps her eyes on the prize and does exactly what it takes to make it happen. 

If you are just starting out, the Start Your Private Practice Program is for you. If you have already started and are looking to grow your business, the Grow Your Private Practice program is what you need. 

I'm doing an upcoming training specifically for SLPs and OTs looking to shift into private practice full-time. Visit GrowYourPrivatePractice.com to fill out the quick form and get your invitation!

Are you in the growth phase of your private practice journey? 

If so, this episode of Private Practice Success Stories is for you. It features two of my coaches from the Grow Your Private Practice Program, Adrienne Fuller and Tami Teshima. Both of these amazing coaches sat down with me to talk about 5 tips for growing your private practice. We talked about marketing, finances, hiring, and so much more. 

Adrienne Fuller M.S., CCC-SLP is the Clinical Director and Owner of SpeechBuilders Speech and Language Therapy in Apopka, Florida.  She began her journey as a middle school teacher to students with learning disabilities, where she developed a desire to help children build a strong foundation for learning.

For the past 15 years, she has worked in many settings as a Speech-Language Pathologist including, schools, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and finally in private practice.  Adrienne is also the co-writer of the book, “Putting Your Dreams to Work, Keys to Setting Up Your Private Practice,” a how-to manual for opening a therapy practice.  She is passionate about making all children from all backgrounds more confident in their speech, language and communication abilities.

Tamiko, who goes by Tami (pronounced "Tommy"), is a former teacher turned speech-language pathologist. She received a Master of Arts in Education, Speech-Language Pathology from San Jose State, and a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education from Grand Valley State University. Tami opened Duncan Lake Speech Therapy, LLC in May 2019 after working as a school-based speech-language pathologist. Her vision was to provide comprehensive, client-centered speech-language services as accessible as possible.

Tami's areas of speech interest include articulation and phonological disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), expressive/receptive language delays, fluency (stuttering), and orofacial myology.

Most recently, Tami began working as the team SLP for an Approved Autism Evaluation Center through Acorn Health.

Starting a private practice is such an amazing way to branch out and do your own thing. It enables you to work with your dream clients on your own terms. One of my favorite things about private practices though is how it can open so many doors to you that you didn’t even dream were possible. 

In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Theresa Harp to talk about how she went from running her own private practice to starting a second successful business in a totally different niche. 

Theresa Harp is a mother of four and a New Jersey native. She is a certified speech therapist and listening and spoken language specialist who opened a private practice for children with hearing loss in 2014. 

As she began juggling the increasing demands in her home and her business, she began to study time management and productivity and discovered strategies to maximize her time.  These interests led to the creation of an entirely new business called The Time Tamers, which provides time management consulting and coaching services to busy women.

Theresa partners with her clients to create customized plans so that women can accomplish their goals and spend their time doing exactly what they love. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Theresa started her private practice
• The importance of setting boundaries in your professional life
• Why Theresa kept her private practice small
• How and why she shifted to coaching
• How Theresa connected speech pathology with her coaching business
• Why your mindset is the most important part of making a change
• Why progress is more important than perfection
• The flexibility you get when starting your own private practice

I love to think of starting a private practice as a “choose your own adventure” experience. You can choose to do whatever you want with it! And if down the line, you feel called to shift focus and change directions, that’s okay! 

Starting a private practice gives you so much flexibility. You can take the knowledge of what you learned in your business and apply it to anything you want to, just as Theresa did! If you want to hear more from Theresa, make sure to listen to her podcast and join her Facebook group! 

Applications for the Grow Your Private Practice are now open! Visit GrowYourPrivatePractice.com and learn how we help growth-focused SLPs and OTs shift into private practice full-time and truly become the CEO of their business and their lives.

What are you passionate about? 

Something I love about being an SLP is that you have so many opportunities available to you after you get certified. You can work in traditional settings or you can do my favorite thing and start your private practice. Once you have your private practice, the sky is the limit on what you can do! 

Whether you’re interested in school contracts, having multiple locations, a brick-and-mortar clinic, or just becoming your own boss, you’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories. 

I sat down with Ebony Green to talk about her journey as an SLP CEO and how she made it all happen. She has a wealth of knowledge on running your own business as an SLP so I was so excited to have her as a guest.  

Ebony Green, M.S., CCC-SLP received her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from The University of Texas at Austin. She then joined a highly selective national teacher corps known as Teach for America and committed four years to teaching in underserved communities. During her time in the classroom, Ebony taught bilingual elementary school students for two years and then taught Spanish at the high school level for two years. Ebony worked closely with other teachers and professionals at her school. 

Ebony decided to pursue a career in speech language pathology after spending time in IEP meetings and working alongside the SLP and other special education staff at her school in Houston, TX. While in her final year of teaching Ebony began taking post-baccalaureate courses at Texas Woman’s University to learn more about speech language pathology and became an SLP-A. Ebony later moved to Arizona and completed her Master’s degree in Clinical Speech Language Pathology at Northern Arizona University and became an SLP.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Ebony landed her first school contract and how it impacted her business
• How school contracts work
• The pros and cons of contracts
• Ebony’s School Contracts Masterclass & SLP Business Suite
• The importance of having multiple streams of income
• Why your network matters
• How your mindset impacts your success

No matter how saturated the market might seem, you have something unique to bring to the table and you can be successful! 

If you were moved by what Ebony and I had to say and are using it as proof that this is 100% possible for you too, I urge you to get in touch with us. We can help you whether you want to go the private practice route, the school contracts route, the Teachers Pay Teachers route, or something else. There is an opportunity and a need for you to start the SLP business you’ve always wanted to.

Are you a planner? 

Most speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists are! Deciding to start your own private practice is a big deal. My mission is to make the whole process easier and faster for you, but it all starts with planning.

In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I am going to be sharing why you need to plan it all out before you start, and I am doing this by giving you a special behind-the-scenes look into our beginner bootcamp event. 

There are so many ways to be in private practice. You can have a solo practice where it is just you or you can have a whole team providing multidisciplinary services. You could be a specialist or a generalist. You could provide in-person services or teletherapy. The possibilities are endless and you get to choose! 

However, before you can build the private practice of your dreams, you have to plan it first. This is important because you’ll need to consider things like NPI,  liability insurance, and marketing—just to name a few. 

Planning your private practice is exciting and fun! You are literally building the business of your dreams and there’s nothing better than that. I want to be able to assist you with a fill-in-the-blank system that helps you put it all together. In my Plan Your Private Practice Bootcamp, I give you the same planning training that I offer the students in my Start Your Private Practice program. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The different ways you can run your private practice
• Why it is so important to plan it first
• Why the bootcamp is so beneficial 
• The value, offers, and bonuses included inside the bootcamp
• Why the best way to start your private practice is to take action

There is so much included in the bootcamp because I want you to get the most value so you can finally start taking those first steps to start the private practice of your dreams. There are so many people out there looking for the exact services you have to offer. 

Now is the time to start planning your private practice, so you can focus on things like your future, family, fun, and flexibility.

Summer is coming up and it is the perfect time to start dipping your toe into the waters of private practice and start seeing some clients! 

This is something that is often on people’s to-do lists for years before they finally take action, but it doesn’t have to be that way! In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I want to help you get set up so you can start this summer because there is no better time than right now. 

Summer is still a few months away, but now is the time when you need to start getting your ducks in a row so that you will be ready to take on those first clients. 

You may think that by only seeing one or two clients to start, it isn’t really a private practice- but it actually is! There is no such thing as “under the table” private practices. You must get your business set up legally so that you don’t get into any trouble later on. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Why summer is the perfect time to start seeing clients
• The importance of setting your business up legitimately
• How much you could make if you start this summer
• How to determine if there is a need for your services in your area
• The legal protection you need in place when you start your business
• What forms of payment to accept when you start taking clients
• How to find clients

I am here to teach you the true, legal way to finally start that private practice you have been thinking about. You don’t want to put yourself or your license at risk by cutting corners or not treating it as a legit business. 

All that being said, starting your private practice is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. I hope this episode helps you understand the basics of what you need to know to get ready now to start accepting clients this summer. 

If you are ready to get started, make sure to check out our Free Plan Your Private Practice Bootcamp. This event starts on April 4th! If you want to see clients this summer or in the next year, you don't want to miss this.

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.

Do you enjoy offering telepractice? Have you ever considered offering it through your own private practice instead of an agency that pays peanuts? 

If this is something that interests you, this episode of Private Practice Success Stories is for you. I sat down with Elise Mitchell to talk about the opportunity to offer teletherapy to your own private clients and also to share some success stories from other Start Your Private Practice students who are offering teletherapy either exclusively or in addition to their in-person services. 

Elise Mitchell is a Speech-Language Pathologist, owner of The Therapist Support Network, and Head of New Practice Development with The Independent Clinician. As the owner of The Therapist Support Network, Elise focuses on providing affordable intervention materials to SLPs and OTs. 

She has spent the majority of her clinical career in telepractice, specifically contracting and managing school-based telepractice services in addition to serving private telepractice clients. Mitchell’s current position as Head of New Practice Development for The Independent Clinician allows her to assist SLPs and OTs with accessing resources to start, grow, or scale a private practice. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• What teletherapy is
• The benefits of offering telepractice through your private practice
• Why there is such a large demand for teletherapy
• Why it isn’t as difficult to get licensed in other states as you may think
• What to do if you want to contract with the school
• Why your location doesn’t matter to your clients in teletherapy
• How to choose the right telepractice platform
• Online assessment resources

I hope you enjoyed this episode and found this conversation about how you can add teletherapy services to your own private practice helpful. It’s not as hard as you think it is, you just have to know where to start!

Having a part-time private practice is the safest and smartest way to get started. 

I actually don’t recommend that SLPs or OTs jump full-time into running their own private practice to start. People are so surprised to hear me say that but the truth is, when just starting out, I recommend that you start part-time on the side of your regular job for a few different reasons.

The first is that it decreases your financial risk when you leave your job and allows you to have those benefits while growing your business. This works wonders for calming those nerves about embarking on your private practice journey. 

The second is that it helps you test the waters and make sure that going all-in on private practice is right for you. The last thing you want or need is to dive into being a private practice owner only to find it’s not right for you. 

The third reason is that you can start generating income on the side that you can use to pay off debt, build up your savings, reinvest in your business, or use on fun things before it becomes your sole income. 

Your private practice starts with one client. This time is perfect for getting all of your ducks in a row so that when you go full-time with your business, you are fully prepared for the work that comes with it. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Why SLPs and OTs are starting their private practices on the side now more than ever
• The benefits of starting parent coaching
• Why now is the perfect time to start
• The things people think you need to get started and why you don’t actually need them
• Why it doesn’t cost as much to start as you think
• The things you do need to get started with your private practice

Starting your private practice is simpler than you think. You don’t need to go all out right from the start. Babysteps are the way to go. Starting as a side hustle will help you create the business of your dreams in the easiest way possible. 

Ready to get started? Spring enrollment for Start Your Private Practice is just around the corner! Let's make sure you get notified as soon as we re-open so that you can get set up and ready for summer. Get on the waitlist here!

Many new SLPs hold back from starting their own private practice because they don’t believe they have enough experience to venture off on their own, but that isn’t true! 

You can start your private practice as soon as you have something to bring to the table. Specializing is a great way to increase your referrals and find success sooner, even if you are a new SLP. 

In this episode, I sat down with Sydney Bassard to talk about how she started her own private practice that focuses on deaf and hard-of-hearing children and literacy early on in her career and how she created multiple streams of income to increase her success. 

Sydney knows that she can run her private practice in whatever way works for her. She is a multi-passionate person and is using her private practice as a way to focus on more than just one of them. 

Sydney Bassard is a private practice SLP in Charlotte, NC. She graduated with her B.S. in Public Health in 2017 and her MSP in Speech Pathology in 2019. Sydney received both her degrees from The University of South Carolina. 

Prior to opening her own private practice, Sydney worked in outpatient pediatrics as a member of the cochlear implant team. Her private practice, The Listening SLP, LLC, is founded on the principles to "Listen.Learn.Advocate" with the clients and families she serves. 

She is enjoys sharing strategies for incorporating language and literacy throughout daily routines via @thelisteningslp on Instagram and Facebook. Outside of being an SLP, Sydney enjoys digital content creation, hiking, enjoying time with friends and families, and spoiling her dog, Kinsley. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Sydney decided it was time to start her private practice
• The benefits of specializing
• Why you don’t need decades of experience to start your private practice
• The importance of continuing education when you have a private practice
• The benefits of creating multiple streams of income
• Branching out with teletherapy

Life is short, so we need to be doing things that we love to do, that we are fulfilled by, and that are providing a service. Starting a private practice is a great way to create the career of your dreams, just like Sydney did. 

If you are interested in hearing more from Sydney, I highly recommend you follow her on Instagram for inspiration and tips.

Have you ever wanted to offer a specialty service? 

When you start your own private practice, you have the freedom to create the job of your dreams for yourself. If you are passionate about a certain service or population, make that your specialty! This helps you become known as “the one” to go to for that service so you can put your business on the fast track for success. 

My guest in this episode of Private Practice Success Stories is Mallory Millet, a Start Your Private Practice student. Mallory is a speech therapist who carved out a niche for herself based on her passion and where she saw a need. 

Mallory Millet is a Speech Pathologist who specializes in pediatric feeding disorders. Her focuses include infant reflux, infant oral development, and bottle feeding. Through her professional work, and with a lack of support during her own babies’ feeding journeys, she created The Feeding Mom. It is here that she provides in-person and virtual support to empower parents through their feeding journeys locally and around the world. Her philosophy is: every parent deserves to love feeding their baby. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Mallory’s journey to starting a private practice
• How specializing can help you grow
• The importance of referral marketing and social media marketing
• The benefits of parent coaching and how to add it to your services
• Other things you can offer in addition to therapy in your private practice
• How to price your services and when to raise your prices

I love how Mallory created a really unique space for herself by offering both pediatric feeding therapy and parent coaching. So many SLP’s and OTs say that they miss collaborating with parents in schools. With your own private practice, you have the freedom to add parent coaching if it is something that you are passionate about. 

There is no one way to run your private practice. You are in charge of what you offer and what you don’t! 

Want to learn how to offer your own private therapy services just like Mallory? Join the waitlist for the Start Your Private Practice Program so you can sign up during Spring Enrollment.

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.
