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.

Have you ever felt like you've completely lost your spark in this profession? Like you're working harder than ever, juggling jobs, feeling burned out, and wondering if this career that you once loved is ever going to feel good again? Well, you're in for a treat because this episode is one of the all time best ones that I've ever recorded, and here's why. Today you're gonna meet Sarah Wilson, a speech language pathologist who spent years working in skilled nursing facilities. And completely burned out by also juggling multiple PRN jobs just to make ends meet.
She was exhausted, stretched thin, and starting to feel like the passion that brought her into this field had disappeared. Everything changed when she decided to try something different, private practice, including switching to working primarily with kids. Welcome back to another episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. I'm your host, Jenna Caster. Casbon, and today Sarah shares how starting a private practice didn't just change her career, it helped her rediscover her spark. Sarah is the founder of Enrichment Therapy Services in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She's also a wife and a mom to a young son, and in this episode, she shares how building her practice gave her the flexibility and fulfillment that she had been missing for so long.
You're gonna hear us discuss how she pivoted from being a fine. Finance major to a speech language pathologist, the moment that a Facebook ad for the Start Your Private Practice program showed up at exactly the right time. How she started and is growing an amazing private practice with in-person therapy, virtual sessions, and school contracts, and how hiring her first clinician opened up a whole new level of growth that she never expected. If you feel like you're working harder than ever and still running on empty, or if you're a parent who's tired of missing the little moments because of your schedule, then this episode is perfect for you. Sarah's story is such a a powerful reminder that sometimes the path to loving your career again isn't leaving the field, it's finding a new way to practice within it.
So let's dive in. 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.
