What motivated Jamie Giannino to leave school‑based speech therapy and start a private practice?
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-trude 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 want to 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.

Jamie Janino is a speech language pathologist with a private practice in Long Island, New York. She started her private practice after experiencing some very tough situations in the school system where she worked and also in her personal life, which left her thinking about giving up and leaving the field altogether. That's when she joined the Start Your Private Practice program and hasn't looked back. Now she's looking forward to having a flexible Summer schedule where she treats clients and has plenty of time for jet skiing, which is her favorite hobby. In this episode, she talks about early career burnout and how her life wasn't easy growing up, during grad school, or even in her early career, and how she almost left the field as a result.
Instead, she's created a private practice that allows her to live the life that she thought only existed in dreams. now that she's taken full control over her professional, personal, and financial life. Now she's a member of the Grow Your Private Practice program and is looking to expand her income and free time. If you've had struggles in the past, personal, financial, or otherwise, and you're looking for a better way, private practice could be the answer. Jamie's story is powerful, and I hope that hearing it and how she's been successful as a result is inspiring to you, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, 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.
