How has starting a private practice changed for SLPs and OTs in recent years?
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.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Private Practice Success Trius Podcast. I'm your host, Jenna Castor Kasbon, and today I'm excited to introduce you to someone who is truly making waves in her community, Ricky Klein. Ricky is a speech language pathologist who transitioned into private practice after experiencing firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle family life and a traditional work schedule. Like many of you, she knew that there had to be a better way. And spoiler alert, she found it. She didn't just find it, she created it. In our conversation, Ricky shares how she carved out a private practice model that not only supports her family's needs, but also fills her cup professionally.
From starting a private practice during a season of personal change to embracing a consultation model that offers both flexibility and fulfillment, Ricky has truly built a career on her own terms. We talked about everything from the power of networking to building a Practice slowly and intentionally, to how giving back to the community has become one of the most rewarding parts of her business. If you've been wondering how to balance things like summer schedules, school events, and a growing business, then this episode is going to speak directly to you. Ricky's story is packed with heart, honesty, and wisdom, especially for those of you who are navigating work-life balance, family dynamics, or wondering if
there's really a space for you in private practice. Hint, there is. You just have to get those decks in a row. So if you're looking for inspiration, strategy, and a beautiful reminder that you can build a private practice that fits you and your family's life, then this is a must-listen 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 share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
My name is Ricky Klein. I'm in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and the name of my practice is Kids Speak Easy.
So, Ricky, you and I go way back. We actually know each other from Emerson College, where we were both grad students and did some all kinds of other things. I think we were on the alumni committee for a while, right? We sure were. Yep. We sure were. So that was a fun thing. But I always love when people from different aspects of my life then end up pursuing private practice. And you're one of those people. So before we get into what your private practice looks like these days, can you share
