What does the episode introduction say about the benefits of mentorship for new SLPs?
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.

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. One of the things that has really helped me be successful over the years is mentorship. I cannot say enough about the value of mentorship, especially when you're doing something that you've never done before.
Mentors are there to show you the way and help you achieve success better and faster than they did. A good mentor will save you so much time, money, and frustration. They are truly valuable, like money valuable. The other reason why it's important to find a mentor is because they can show you what's possible. Things that you didn't think were possible for anyone, let alone yourself. One of the really cool things about Pam Rowe and myself is that we are both committed to mentoring the next generation of speech language pathologists in private practice. And one of the reasons why we do this is because we both want the field to grow. But also grow in ways that ours and previous generations of SLPs could never imagine, with more and more SLPs choosing private practice.
So let me introduce you to Pam. All right, before we begin, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private
practice? Absolutely. My name is Pamela Rowe. I am a speech language pathologist. The name of my practice is Pamela Rowe's Speech, Occupational Physical Therapy. Our location is all around the state of Florida. And it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. It's a lot of hard work, but it's
a beautiful thing. So we've been friends on the internet. We haven't met in real life yet, but one day we will. But we've been friends for years as both people who are supporters of people figuring out this private practice route. Before we talk about some of the ways that you've done that, can we go back to the beginning of your private practice journey? Tell us maybe about your early career as an SLP and what led you to start your own private practice.
Okay, no problem. So when I started out as an SLP, I had no idea that I wanted to open a private practice. In fact, I remember being in graduate school.
