What is the overall premise of this episode and why is private practice becoming more accessible?
Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis. They're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process, and now we wanna help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our Private Practice Roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Julie Berry is a pediatric speech-language pathologist with a private practice in Robbinsville, New Jersey. I follow Julie on Instagram, and one day she was posting about how she wears casual clothes to see her private clients. And I was like, yes, I need to have her on the show to share how she's making her private practice her own and how private practice doesn't have to be stuffy or rigid. It can be fun and even casual. In this episode, Julie busts a ton of private practice myths and shares a refreshing perspective on what private practice can be. If you've been thinking about starting a private practice, but you're a more casual person and just want to deliver effective therapy without feeling like private practice has to be stuffy or rigid, this is a must-listen episode, so stay tuned.
I'm Jenna Castro-Casbon, speech-language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice system, and I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice. Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices, and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place.
So let's get started.
So before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
My name is Julie Barry. I am located in Robbinsville, New Jersey, and I am Talk With Choice.
So I am so excited to be doing this. We connected on Instagram. And one of the things, Julie, that I love about your Instagram account and you as a person, it's just how natural and kind of like casual and fun you are as a person and as a private practitioner. And it just felt really refreshing to me. And I wanted to make sure that we told your story. So Before we kind of talk about what your private practice is like now, can you take our listeners back to the beginning of your career? And then when did you start thinking about private practice?
So I started thinking about private practice only a year ago. I never saw myself here. So to go back, I started my CFY as a subacute SNF SLP. I thought I was going to live and die there as the medical SLP I always wanted to be. And that did not, you know, soon after it was like, no, this isn't it. I love it. But I think there's something else calling for me. So I ended up taking a pediatric position blindly with no, I did like a peds placement and that was about it. I was not like some strong candidate, but they took a chance on me, which I like always preach, like take a chance on those less experienced clinician. I fell in love. I did outpatient, inpatient pediatric hospital for seven years, eight years, eight years.
Did a little bit of the school gig. And over the years, those places both drove me nuts enough, Jenna. And I just learned and saw some things I felt needed editing and said, OK, if I want it done right, I have to do it myself.
