Why is now a good time to start a private SLP/OT practice?
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.

Ali Multon is a pediatric speech language pathologist with a private practice in Northern Virginia. She started her private practice after reevaluating her priorities to focus on family and fulfilling her aspirations as a clinician. She discusses her progression from working part-time to eventually leaving her school job to pursue private practice full-time, highlighting the importance of building a caseload and navigating the challenges and rewards of starting a mobile practice. I first got to know Allie during her time in the Start Your Private Practice program, where we helped her set up her practice and start seeing private clients on the side.
In this episode, she emphasizes the importance of family and personal fulfillment in her decision to pursue private practice full-time. She also discusses how she added another income stream to her private practice in the form of special education consultations and advocacy work, and how starting the specialize made her sought after for these services. Adding revenue streams is a big part of what we cover in the Grow Your Private Practice program, which Allie is also an alum of.
How did Ali Moulton get started and what’s her professional background?
If you've been thinking about starting to see private clients and are curious about offering special education consultations through your practice, this is a must-listen episode, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kazvan, CEO of the Independent Clinician and founder of Private Practice School. First, I started my own private practice. And then over the past 15 years, I've worked with over 10,000 SLPs and OTs to start and grow their successful private practices so they can have more freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and finances. I created the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. to share what's possible for you, your family, your clients, and your community when you choose private practice. We'll share everything from small private practice side hustles to flexible lifestyle private practices to traditional brick and mortar practices and everything in between.
You'll meet regular clinicians, just like you, who followed our steps and are now living their private practice dreams. If they can do it, you can do it too. So let's get started. So, yo, Allie has been on the podcast before. Um, I looked it up. It was two summers ago. We were trying to figure out what it was. So two summers ago, you came on and you talked about your private practice journey to date and really about you like taking the leap into private practice and everything else. Now, too many years have gone by. And so I really want to share where you are now, but not everybody knows where you came from. So can you tell everyone a little bit about yourself and then how you got started in private practice?
Yeah, absolutely. So I started out my career at children's hospital. I started out at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore.
