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.

Welcome back to another episode of the Private Practice Success Stories Podcast. I'm your host, Jenna Kastrak-Kasbahn, and I cannot wait for you to meet today's guest, Andrea Gingrass. Andrea is a speech language pathologist based in Concord, California, and the founder of Love Without Word Speech Therapy. Andrea's story is incredibly moving. After years of working in schools, nonprofits, and other people's private practices, and feeling frustrated with compliance-driven therapy, she discovered the power of a strengths-based approach. But it wasn't until a deeply personal moment with a former family that she worked with that she found the courage to finally take the leap into private practice and join the Start Your Private Practice program.
That leap not only honored the life and legacy of her former client Ben, but also gave her the flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment that she'd been craving for years by starting her own private practice. In this episode, Andrea shares Why she left, quote, safe jobs to build a business aligned with her values, what it looks like to create a schedule that actually works for her family. Hint, she only sees two to four clients a day and earns more money than she did before, working far less hours, and how she's now mentoring fellow SLPs on using strengths-based strategies with their clients. If you've ever wondered whether private practice could allow you to be Be the kind of clinician, parent, and person that you want to be?
then Andrea's story is going to light a fire in 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. All right, so before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
