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 wanna 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.

Quintina Briscoe is a speech-language pathologist in the greater DC area who started a private practice during the pandemic that has grown rapidly. She went from being a solo private practitioner, just seeing clients on the side of her school job, to employing many therapists and having a brick-and-mortar clinic, as well as serving clients via teletherapy. If you're an SLP who dreams of a bigger and better life and are called to serve through private practice, Quintina's story is just what you need to hear, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Casbon, 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. Have you ever felt like you were meant for more? Like you got into this profession to serve people and enjoyed helping, but aren't able to do your best work due to limitations from your employer,
or because of the system that you're working within, so many SLPs choose jobs in schools, hospitals, and early interventions and start off really happy. Happy to serve their client populations, happy to collaborate with coworkers, happy to step in and help out as needed. Over time, though, things can get challenging. You may still love your job and the people that you work with, but can also feel kind of stuck in it. Little choice over the size of your caseload or who you work with. Little say in how much and when you work. Little room for upward growth. Little pay increases. Little or no time for lunch. If you find yourself in that situation, you have some choices. You can either stay where you are and deal with it and hope it gets better, or you can create a new job for yourself where you can have more.
More flexibility over your schedule, what hours you work, and when you take vacations. More freedom and control over your caseload and what kinds of services you provide. More opportunities to earn more. In fact, in private practice, you are financially rewarded for working harder. If you want to earn more, you take on some more clients. Could you imagine if you got paid more to appropriately compensate you for the size of your caseload? Pretty different than the schools, right? Today's guest, Quintina Briscoe, talks about how she felt called to do more as an SLP and do more than she could working in the school system. In the beginning of the interview, she tells a story about how and when she knew that it was time for her to leave the schools.
And her answer may surprise you. Let's dive into the interview. Before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the
name of your private practice?
