Why did Lexey decide to start her own private 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.

Lexi Pruitt is a speech language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in Houston, Texas. She started her private practice on the side when living in St. Louis and then moved to Houston and has been building it from there. I've gotten to know Lexi during her time in both the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs, and it has been fantastic to watch her go from her very first client to planning to hire additional team members. In this episode, she talks about establishing new connections and marketing herself in a new city, how she receives a lot of referrals through a directory associated with a certification program, and we also discuss the benefits of being an in-home mobile therapist, which often allows for more personalized care and time for parent coaching.
If you've been thinking about starting a private practice so that you can provide more personalized care for your ideal clients and have more work-life balance, 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. Yeah. All right, so before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Yes, so I am Lexi Pruitt. My private practice is leading the language speech therapy and I am located in Houston, Texas.
My gosh. Lexi, I am so excited to have you on the show because I have like watched you from basically day one of your practice. And I'm just so excited for all of the amazing things that you have done and that you're doing. But before we dive into where you are right now, can you please share a little bit about the process of like getting started with your private practice? And how did you even think about private practice in the first place?
Honestly, everything kind of started for me as a child. I had gone through speech therapy myself for vocal nodule treatment a couple times. And then getting into the field was just kind of fate for me because through high school, my mom's like, this is what you should do. It'd be great for you. And I thought, I'm a teenager. I'm not gonna listen to my mom. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Fast forward, I am about halfway through my undergraduate career in business and I'm not loving it. And I happen to be cheering with a girl who was in communication disorders. major and she was telling me how she could work with adults or children or in the school or in the hospital. I was like, I always thought about teaching, but I knew teaching wasn't end game for me.
