What is the new roadmap for starting a private practice part‑time?
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.

On today's episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, we are going to be talking about how to start working with private clients part-time or on the side of your job. This is how I teach the students in the Start Your Private Practice program to get started. But to be honest, I didn't even know that part-time private practice was an option when I first started my private practice. So in today's episode, I want to explore the option of part-time private practice with you to see how it can work before you do any leaping or jumping into private practice. So stay tuned.
I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System.
How did Jenna discover that part‑time private practice was even an option?
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. Today's episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast is all about getting started in private practice in the easiest way possible.
part-time and on the side of your regular job. And to be honest, I didn't know that this was an option when I was first getting started in private practice. Flashback to 26-year-old Jenna, who worked at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston in the outpatient department. I worked with the adult neuropopulation, so mostly strokes and brain injuries, aphasia, post-concussive syndrome, things like that. And although this was my dream job, I found myself burning out very quickly. While I loved my patients and most of my coworkers, after about a year or two, I started to feel ineffective and stuck as an SLP. Because of the endless paperwork, meetings that didn't matter, and high productivity demands that were getting in the way of patient care, and this really started to weigh on me.
I began to feel stuck and I knew that I was heading toward burnout. It was around this time that I realized that two of my coworkers had their own small private practices on the side of the job that they did with me at the hospital.
What were Jenna’s first steps, client mix, and pricing when she began part‑time?
I literally did not know that that was a thing, that you could see private clients part-time. I thought that private practice was either all or nothing, that you were either in private practice or you weren't. So this was an eye-opening experience for me. They knew how unhappy and frustrated I was, and they suggested that I start seeing private clients too. They helped me get all set up from a legal perspective, and within a few months I had a small caseload of my own private clients. In the early days, I saw mostly clients with aphasia, Parkinson's, and mild TBI. Which were my absolute фavрет populations. Initially, I shifted my hours at the hospital to work four ten hour days, and I saw my private clients on Fridays and over the weekends.
