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.

    From Seeing Clients on the Weekend to Full-Time Private Practice with Kathleen Salata

    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: How Kathleen got started in the fieldWhat her private practice looked like just starting outMaking the transition from part-time to full-time in her own practiceThe marketing strategies that help clients find herHer plans to hire in the next six monthsThe freedom your private practice offers in terms of time offKathleen’s advice to those on the fence about starting a practice 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!

    From Adults to Peds to BOTH in Private Practice with Heather Anderson

    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: Heather’s background and how she got into SLPWhat motivated Heather to start her own practice on the side of her jobWhat helped her take the leap to enter a school contractA look into the networking opportunities that came with pursuing her own practice The reality of pivoting your vision to serve the communityHow the Start and Grow programs helped Heather get back to her zone of geniusThe power of becoming the one that people refer to 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!

    Have you been thinking about starting a private practice in your small town? You’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories!  I sat down with Gabby Hewitt, a speech language pathologist with a private practice specializing in orofacial myology in a small town in North Dakota. She opened her practice while knowing there was a lack of speech therapy services in her hometown and wanted to fill that gap.  I got to know Gabby during her time in the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs and it has been amazing to watch the impact she has had bringing a much-needed service to her rural area.   In this episode, Gabby talks about how she started her practice right out of her CF, how clients find her, why she hired an assistant, and how specializing in feeding and myo has helped clients be drawn to her.

She is currently in the certification process for becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), Certified Myofunctional Therapist (CMT®), and Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®).  She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of North Dakota before obtaining her Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Gannon University in Ruskin, FL where she was a member of the first-ever graduate SLP program cohort.  It was in Florida that she discovered and learned about orofacial myology. Following her clinical fellowship, Gabby opened her private practice, UpNorth Therapies, in her hometown of Carrington, North Dakota where she recently just completed a renovation and expansion project of a new clinic space 8 months after opening.  In Today's Episode, We Discuss: How and why Gabby decided to start a private practice so early in her careerWhy work-life balance isn’t just a fantasy with a private practiceThe good you can do for your community when you take control of your life and careerThe key to getting your first clients as a private practice owner in a small townThe true power of specializing as a private practice ownerHow you can structure your week when you are in charge of your hoursA look into the impact of hiring help in your private practiceHow the Start and Grow programs helped Gabby grow her business and get more stabilityThe power you have to grow at your own pace in your business I hope you enjoyed this episode with Gabby!

    Starting an Outdoor Private Practice with Kate Glennon

    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 therapyHow you can branch out and create your own unique private practice as a neurodivergent SLPThe magic of nature-based therapy and how you’ll know if it’s right for youWhat you need to understand about fear when starting a private practiceThe true power of differentiating yourself from other private practicesThe power you have to make your private practice be whatever you want it to beThe key to making your private practice work for your familyWhat you need to understand when it comes to hiring help in your private practice I hope you enjoyed this episode with Kate!
