    Private Practice Success Stories

    My name is Jena Castro-Casbon, MS CCC-SLP (of The Independent Clinician and The Private Practice Solution).

    I am part of a group of private practitioners who have taken client care into our own hands.

    We are skilled clinicians who pride ourselves on providing high-quality care to our clients and their families.

    We are fighting against productivity requirements, administrative red tape and unnecessary restrictions.

    We started our own private practices to take control of our professional and personal lives. Of our schedules. Of our incomes. Of our future.

    We work hard for our clients but on our terms.

    We believe in helping others – but also helping ourselves.

    We’re not interested in competing with each other. We hope that we all make it.

    We are successful private practitioners and these are our stories.

    Thank you for taking the time to listen to this interview.

    The Power of Perseverance: From Non-Traditional Student to Ambitious Private Practitioner with Vanessa Alcala Sep 18, 2023
    Show notes

    Sometimes, you have to overcome a lot of obstacles to make your dreams happen and it takes a lot of perseverance.

    In this episode, I’m sharing my conversation with Vanessa Alcala to talk about her journey into private practice and the perseverance it took for her to get there.

    Vanessa knew that she wanted to start a business and after graduation in January of 2023, she participated in our private practice boot camp and then decided to invest in the Start program to avoid wasting time and money.

    Now, just eight months into her private practice journey, she’s sharing how it's going. We discuss the clinical populations that she works with, where she sees her clients, what services she offers, and her desire to eventually have a small team of culturally responsive SLPs.


    Woven through this episode are discussions about the need for more minority and bilingual SLPs in the field and the importance of showcasing diverse role models in private practice, and I am so excited to share it with you today.


    Vanessa Alcala, M.S. CCC-SLP, CDP is the owner and founder of Vital Therapies, a bilingual Speech Therapy private practice serving adolescents and adults. Vanessa is a Dementia Caregiver consultant and SLP Coach who is passionate about serving the bilingual community.


    Vanessa is also the co-creator of Sip & Social, which creates opportunities for connection and collaboration for female entrepreneurs in the healthcare industry by hosting social networking events throughout the Tampa Bay area.


    It is her mission to provide a holistic approach to speech therapy by utilizing evidence-based and culturally sensitive practices with clients, parents, caregivers, and families.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • Vanessa’s journey to become an SLP and eventually a private practitioner
    • The naysayers Vanessa overcame to get to where she is today
    • How Vanessa knew she wanted her own business so early in her career
    • What made Vanessa decide to sign up for the boot camp and Start program
    • Vanessa’s mentality as a business owner
    • The power of having a network of peers to interact with as a business owner
    • What her private practice looks like now
    • The flexibility you get with a private practice
    • What you need to do when you’re feeling imposter syndrome
    • Vanessa’s plans for the future


    I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Vanessa! She is a perfect example of someone who persevered and had a dream and went for it. I love that she got that LLC right after grad school so that she had it when she was ready.


    I can't tell you the amount of young clinicians who are pursuing private practice early in their careers. As long as you have something to bring to the table, there is no need to wait to start your private practice.


    We would love to work with you to get set up, started and seeing clients just like we helped Vanessa in the Start Your Private Practice program! For more information and to enroll, please visit StartYourPrivatePractice.com.

    Relieving Early Career Burnout with Private Practice Featuring SLP Book Club Hosts, Adrianne Frost and Laura Geissert Sep 11, 2023
    Show notes

    Suffering from early career burnout?

    This is something that many overworked SLPs are suffering from, and private practice may be the answer.


    In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, Laura and Adrianne share how they started their private practices after overcoming burnout. They both share where they get their referrals from, what types of clients they see, and whether they are generalists or specializing in certain populations.


    If you've been thinking about starting a private practice and want to see how other folks are doing it, this episode is for you!


    Laura and Adrianne are the hosts of The SLP Book Club podcast. Each month, they carefully select amazing books that speech therapists might not have the time to read and discuss them on their podcast chapter by chapter. They create and post free resources to accompany the books, allowing SLPs to immediately use the information they've learned with their caseloads.


    Laura began her career in public schools, working as a contracted employee in a very large school district for six years. Outrageously high caseload numbers and unrealistic expectations led to complete burnout in her fourth year. A switch to part-time proved to be more manageable, but she ultimately decided to open her private practice in 2021 after discovering the Start Your Private Practice course. Her private practice, Springboard Speech Therapy, provides support to preschoolers who stutter and their families in the Los Angeles area. In addition to seeing clients in their homes, Laura creates digital and printable materials for other speech therapists in her TPT store, Laura G SLP.


    Adrianne has spent much of her career working in public schools with grades K-12. She enjoys helping children as both an in-person therapist and a teletherapist. In 2021 she opened her private speech therapy practice, Say Hello Speech Therapy, in Orange County, California. She has a special interest in articulation/speech sound disorders and is extensively trained in UCLA's PEERS program for both teens and young adults. She is especially enthusiastic about empowering parents to be the best advocates and speech coaches possible for their children. Adrianne currently balances motherhood, working full-time as a teletherapist, hosting a podcast, and seeing private practice clients.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • How the Start program helped Adrianne and Laura start the private practices they dreamed of
    • How specializing helps clients come to you
    • The job satisfaction private practice can bring
    • How empowering it can be to own your own private practice
    • The power of parent coaching and home connection
    • Running your private practice from home and setting your caseload sizes
    • The freedom you get as a private practice owner
    • The truth about burnout among SLPs
    • How Laura and Adrianne are finding their clients


    I hope you enjoyed this episode with Laura and Adrianne! Private practice is all about taking back that control. They didn't switch careers. They just switched to a new job setting- their own, where they are the boss. They set their schedules and their rates and decide which clients to see and how many to see. They literally set their own caseload caps and I'd love to see it!


    Make sure to check out their podcast, follow them on Instagram, and join their Facebook group!


    If you would like our help to get set up, started, and seeing clients, just like we helped Laura and Adrienne, head on over to StartYourPrivatePractice.com to learn more and sign up.

    Using Grants to Fund Your Private Practice with Anne Marie Flood Sep 04, 2023
    Show notes

    Have you ever wondered how you could use grants to fund your private practice?

    In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Anne Marie Flood, a Grow Your Private Practice student to discuss how she did it and now has a thriving private practice.


    Some cool things that we discussed in the episode include how as a homeschool parent herself, she's been able to attract home schoolers as clients and how hiring a virtual assistant has been a game changer for her practice.


    If you've been thinking about starting and growing a private practice and want to hear how Anne Marie did it, this is a must listen episode!


    After 5 years as a Spanish teacher, including earning a master's in Secondary Education, Anne Marie found her passion in the form of Speech Language Pathology. She returned to pursue a master's degree at the University of Maryland following the birth of her oldest children.


    Between virtual, school-based, and private practice experience, Anne Marie has worked with children with speech and language impairments, and their families, all across the US.


    Anne Marie founded Play & Thrive Speech Therapy in January 2022 in the hopes of offering families more flexibility and collaboration. She believes in partnering with families to help early learners improve their speech and language skills through play.


    She currently lives in Arnold MD with her husband. When not in the clinic, she can be found homeschooling her two older kids or running with the youngest in the stroller.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • Anne Marie’s journey into speech therapy and private practice
    • How to get grants that can help you fund your private practice
    • The most under tapped way to get resources for your private practice
    • The benefits of offering teletherapy in your business
    • How a virtual assistant can take your practice to the next level
    • Ways to get referrals based on the populations you are working with
    • How Anne Marie tapped into the homeschool population
    • Anne Marie’s latest level up in her private practice


    I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Anne Marie as much as I did! I love how she had a goal and she went for it. Like with the grant, for example, she looked into resources available to business owners in her community, and she applied and she got it. You know what they say, you can't win if you don't play!

    Show notes

    Have you been curious about starting your private practice on the side and then eventually going full-time with it? This episode of Private Practice Success Stories is for you!

    I sat down with my Start Your Private Practice student Kimberly Kean who did just that. In this episode, she talks about what her private practice looks like now, as well as her plans to grow her private practice by offering more services and hiring clinicians.


    She has a secondary dream of owning a commercial property, not just for her clinic, but as another income stream!


    Triad Speech Therapy opened its doors in March 2022 after Kimberly worked in various settings (SNF, LTC, and the school systems in Virginia and Kentucky). While working for a friend and mentor in her private practice in Virginia for several years, Kimberly was enlightened to see that you can make money as an SLP and enjoy some work-life balance as a mother.


    She enrolled in the Start Your Private Practice course in the winter of 2021, and the rest is history!


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • Kimberly’s journey to becoming an SLP and private practice owner
    • Why we need private practices now more than ever
    • How the Start program impacted Kimberly’s private practice journey
    • How long it can take to see your first clients after joining the program
    • The types of clients you can see in your private practice
    • Where you can find your clients as a private practice owner
    • The flexibility and freedom you get when you are a private practitioner
    • The relationships and rapport you develop with the families you work with
    • Kimberly’s plan to expand her streams of income in the future


    I hope you loved this conversation with Kimberly as much as I did! She wanted more control of her finances and life and she made it happen!

    Growing a Private Practice in New York City With Genna Ricotta Aug 21, 2023
    Show notes

    Dreaming of starting your own private practice in the big city?

    In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Genna Ricotta who started her practice in New York City. In addition to talking a lot about referrals and where she's getting her clients from, Genna shares a lot about family and what having a private practice has meant for her family, as well as the importance of building strong relationships with clients and treating them like family.


    Genna Ricotta is the founder of Small Steps Speech and Feeding Therapy, LLC. She’s been a pediatric SLP for over 20 years. She has always loved interacting with children and teaching them in a way that they don’t feel like it’s work. She never sees limitations, only the possibilities.

    Genna has worked in a variety of settings throughout her career, including working for a private practice in NYC, but after a few months realized that she could not deliver services the way she thought they should be delivered so she went out on her own initially doing independent contractor work and then slowly building her caseload of private clients.


    That was 15 years ago and now she has hired her first full-time employee and provides services in schools and her office as well as doing screenings for schools, parent talks, and parent training.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • Genna’s journey from SLP to private practice owner
    • How she leveraged connections and referrals to grow her business in a big city
    • The power of working together as private practitioners to help each other grow
    • How school contracts became her bread and butter
    • Why Genna decided to bring on independent contractors to her business
    • The freedom you get from private practice to create the life you want
    • Vacationing as a private practice owner


    I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Genna! She is a perfect example of someone who started her private practice to have more flexibility for her family, and now she's allowing other families to have flexible therapy options. A win-win for all!


    Are you a private practitioner who is overwhelmed by business growth? We would love to work with you - just like we helped Genna to create a successful and sustainable private practice.

    Pivoting Into Private Practice to Create Her Dream Job with Kelsey Brown Jul 31, 2023
    Show notes

    Are you tired of working in settings that don’t serve you and your clients the way you need?

    In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Kelsey Brown, a Start and Grow Your Private Practice student, to talk about her journey as an SLP and why she decided to do things differently and start her own private practice.


    Kelsey shares how she started to lay the groundwork for leaving her job, exactly how she's making more money and working less, and how she's built stability into her income by filling a school contract and doing sessions while she builds her private pay caseload.


    Kelsey is a great example of a young and talented SLP who refused to get caught up in working in settings that didn't serve her or her clients and is instead creating her own systems and life through her private practice.


    Kelsey Brown (she/her) is a DC-based speech-language pathologist by day and children's book author ("Come On, Calm," 2019) by night, weekend, and summer. She has undergraduate degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders and Theatre from The University of Georgia and a Master of Science in Communication Disorders from Emerson College.


    Kelsey’s love for speech therapy started when she was 14 years old and she’s been interested in working with individuals with complex communication needs since her first introduction to assistive technology her freshman year at UGA (she later completed a certificate program in Instructional Design and Technology).


    Kelsey’s experience includes working with and learning from the folks at St. Coletta of Greater Washington, Boston Children's Hospital, the Access Champions podcast, Imagination Stage, Soaring Starts Early Learning & Arts, and Camp Twin Lakes. Her theatre and teaching artist background help to inspire fun and motivating client-centered sessions in a naturalistic environment: your home or community space.


    While she was leading school-based teletherapy sessions during the first year of the pandemic, Kelsey enjoyed the close relationship she built with her students’ families. In both in-person and virtual speech, language, and literacy sessions, Kelsey builds caregiver coaching into every session.


    Kelsey Brown specializes in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), emergent literacy, early intervention, and gestalt language processing.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • Kelsey’s experience as a new SLP
    • How Kelsey found confidence in herself as a clinician
    • When she decided to go into private practice
    • How Kelsey built up her private caseload
    • The power of building relationships with other professionals
    • The happiness Kelsey feels now that she is a private practitioner
    • How Kelsey structures her work day in her private practice
    • The basics of what you need to start a private practice
    • The book that Kelsey wrote and how she achieved it


    I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Kelsey! I love how committed she is to gaining knowledge and experience and then implementing it to change the lives of those around her while changing her own life. She may have started slowly, but laying that groundwork allowed her to quit her job when the time was right and she hasn't looked back.

    Working Less, Making More, and Seeing Ideal Clients as a Young Private Practitioner with Luisa Rinaudo Jul 24, 2023
    Show notes

    Wondering if you are too early in your career to start a private practice?

    You aren’t! In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with one of my students, Luisa Rinaudo, to talk about how she suffered from early career burnout and made the leap to private practice. Now Luisa is working less, making more, and seeing the clients she is truly passionate about on her own terms.


    Luisa Rinaudo is the owner of The Therapy Garden, LLC. Her passion for educating and instructing individuals, especially those in the neuro-divergent community has always been a driving force in her personal and professional life. She is the lucky older sister to two siblings, one of which was born with Down syndrome-a superpower as she likes to say! Her brother has given her countless opportunities to find her potential and when she was ready to decide on a career, this is where she landed.


    She pursued her Bachelor's degree in early elementary education and special education at Seton Hall University from 2015-2019. After completing her undergraduate studies, she went on to obtain her Master's degree in speech-language pathology from 2019-2021, also from Seton Hall University. Since then, she has been working as a speech-language pathologist in Monmouth County, NJ, serving both pediatric and the adult populations.


    She has always wanted to have her own practice and was one of those people who thought it should happen once she was more experienced in her field, but with some words of encouragement she told herself "What better time to do it than now?!"


    While she loves and continues to work with the pediatric population, she has seen the lack of programming out there for adults in this community and she wants to be a part of that change. She wants to give her brother and individuals of all abilities a place where they feel welcome, heard, and accepted. Right now, she has a very small office, but until she is able to provide a bigger space she hopes that she can be a person of comfort and connection with her clients.


    In Today's Episode, We Discuss:


    • The clients that Luisa serves in her private practice
    • When Luisa decided to start her own private practice
    • The risk of reaching career burnout
    • How the Start program helped Luisa get going
    • How to know when it’s time to go all in on your private practice
    • What a typical day in Luisa’s life as a private practice owner looks like
    • The flexibility you can get as a private practice owner
    • How Luisa was able to get a physical office space
    • The community-based services Luisa offers


    I hope you enjoyed this episode with Luisa! She is a perfect example of someone who knew that she was heading toward burnout and decided to make a change so that she could live the life that she wanted while staying in the career that she loves.
