Have you ever considered having a nature-based therapy private practice? You’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories! 

I sat down with Kate Glennon, also known as the "Outdoorsy SLP,”  a speech language pathologist with an innovative private practice in New Hampshire. Kate has created a unique private practice that operates primarily outdoors, providing nature-based therapy to her clients. 

She highlights the benefits of outdoor therapy to improve regulation and connection for both the therapist and the client, as well as the unique language tasks that natural settings can provide.

Kate started her private practice after working in a traditional practice for 12 years. She discusses what it’s like to own a practice, have a deployed husband in the military, and have 3 kids! 

I got to know Kate during her time in the Grow Your Private Practice Program and it has been amazing to get to reflect on her journey and the factors that led her to develop this unconventional practice model.

Kate has been a practicing SLP for 13 years. Her cumulative experience working in schools, clinics, and teaching at a nature school led her to open a private practice. She is passionate about bringing clinical practice outdoors and into nature. Her nature-based private practice is about to turn one year old.

Kate brings her experience as an SLP and a certified nature educator to her work. She enjoys working across the age span with a variety of communication differences.

Kate strives to bring together her SLP community. She has created a collaborative space for sole practitioners in her area to gather and connect. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The true power of nature-based therapy
• How you can branch out and create your own unique private practice as a neurodivergent SLP
• The magic of nature-based therapy and how you’ll know if it’s right for you
• What you need to understand about fear when starting a private practice
• The true power of differentiating yourself from other private practices
• The power you have to make your private practice be whatever you want it to be
• The key to making your private practice work for your family
• What you need to understand when it comes to hiring help in your private practice

I hope you enjoyed this episode with Kate! I love her passion for nature and the positive outcomes she has observed in her clients. She acknowledges the challenges but also the fulfillment that comes from creating a practice that aligns with her values and lifestyle.
