What is the main introduction and purpose of 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-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.

In this episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, Ana Maria talks about what drove her to start a bilingual focused private practice and also why she's passionate about increasing diversity in the field of speech language pathology. Ana Maria is a straight talker, and this episode is full of lessons learned and candid advice for those pursuing private practice. This is a truly fantastic episode for anyone who is passionate about serving underserving populations and bringing your services to those in need.
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 stock 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?
Sure. So my name is Anna Maria Jaramillo and I'm the owner and founder of Volse Speech Therapy in downtown Washington, DC.
And this is a very special episode because you and I actually know each other in real life. From a couple of years ago, which we'll talk about shortly. But it's been so much fun to watch you flourish in private practice. I remember when you're first getting started, now you're a couple of years in. So I can't wait for you to share this uh whole story with your listeners. But let's go back to the beginning of, you know, when you were first, I don't know whether you want to talk about grad school or shortly thereafter. Talk about your early career as a speech language pathologist.
Yeah. So well, first of all, thank you for having me, Jenna. I think I speak for many of us in the field. That just a huge thank you for everything you've done for us and the support that you've given us and all of your resources and your guidance have been Instrumental in my uh launch as an entrepreneur. And I really think that the field of speech language pathology needs so many more private practitioners because what we do is such a gift and it's um so life-changing. Our services are incredibly undervalued and I'm sure we'll get to that at some point, but I had a I kind of had a different experience in the field of speech language pathology. I thought I wanted to be a physician. I wanted to be a a child psychiatrist.
And I was like very into um the brain and why kids act the way they act. And then I quickly discovered that I didn't really want to do medical school for that long, mainly because I was a social butterfly and I really loved my social life.
