What is the main focus of this episode and who is the guest?
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.

Yasmin Rio Schultz is an adult focused speech language pathologist in private practice located in Austin, Texas. She got a job working in a facility that she loved, and she thought that she would stay there for her entire career, at least until COVID hit. Yasmin joined the Start Your Private Practice Program in the fall of 2020, working through the steps in the program at night. She got all of her ducks in a row and started her private practice on the side of her job and gradually worked down to part time, then let go of her PRN job, and then transitioned into her own private practice full time.
In this episode, she talks about her primary referral source, physicians, and also about starting her private practice while working two jobs with a young child, knowing that she was working toward having a more flexible life, which she now has. She also shared a really cool thing that she did for herself with her private practice earnings. Whether you're adult focused, pediatric focused, or both. Getting referrals from physicians is a great way to build your practice, and you'll benefit from learning how this has helped Yasmin grow her practice to the point that she's ready to hire. This is a fantastic episode, 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.
So before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Yes. So I am Yasmin Rios Schultz, and my private practice is Lake Austin Speech Therapy, and I'm located in Austin, Texas. I am so excited to
Have you on the show because I've actually been able to watch you really start your practice and grow it over the past couple of years in the START program. And so what I would love for you to do for our listeners is before you talk about what your private practice is like now, can you take us back to the beginning of your career as an SLP and talk about that? And then also talk about when did you
Start thinking about private practice. I'm gonna go back a little bit uh before even being a speech therapist. I started off on a pre-med track when I was at Purdue that lasted about a semester, and I knew that that was not my destiny. So I spoke with a college counselor who led me into some classes for speech and audiology. And right off the bat, I knew that that was gonna be my game. So it was an amazing transition um to still be able to kind of stay. In the health realm, then I also thought I was going to be a bilingual pediatric speech therapist at the very beginning of my studies.
