What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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 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.

Ever fantasized about living internationally and seeing telepractice clients in the US? Well, that's what today's guest, Megan Ramirez, is doing. Megan is a speech language pathologist and New Jersey native who now lives in Argentina. She started off working for a telepractice company, but the long days and low pay got to her, and she decided to start her own private practice that offers telotherapy only. In this episode, she talks about marketing strategies that she uses to get clients, payer sources that she accepts, services that she offers, and whether or not she's a specialist or a generalist.
If you're interested in offering teletherapy services through your own private practice and not a telepractice company, whether you want to live abroad or not, this episode is for 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.
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.
I could be wrong, but I think today's Today's episode has the power to be one of our most popular episodes yet. I got to know Megan in the Grow Your Private Practice program, and oh my goodness, has it been fun to watch her grow? One of the beauties about private practice is that it can be what you make it. You literally have the power to create something that works for you. Before the pandemic, private practices were very local. Most were brick and mortar-based clinics that served people. People in that city. Now that teletherapy has risen in popularity, more and more private practitioners are offering telepractice through their private practices. And some, like Megan, are doing exclusively private practice so that they can work from home.
In Megan's case, for now anyway, home is in Argentina. One thing that I always say is: if you can't find the job that you want, create one that you love. I want you to use this episode to think broadly about the idea of creating a dream job for yourself. So even if you don't want to live abroad or offer teletherapy, I hope that this episode highlights that you can build a private practice that supports the life that you want to live. After you listen, DM me on Instagram and tell me what your dream private practice looks like. My handle is at Independent Clinician. All right, this is an amazing episode. I hope that you enjoyed listening to it as much as I loved recording it for you. Before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private
practice? Sure. So my name is Megan Ramirez. I am currently in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
