What motivated Krista to start her own private speech‑language 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.

She started her private practice after realizing that the long hours and low pay for her job wasn't enough for her family. I've gotten to know Krista during her time in the Grow Your Private Practice program, and it has been truly amazing to watch her take off and build a practice that she loves while having the income and time flexibility that her family needs. In this episode, she talks about where she gets most of her referrals and hint it's a great strategy for you pediatric clinicians. She also talks about what she's doing with her clinic space and her plans to hire additional staff and build a clinic that can run without her, which will allow her to focus on other aspects of the business while still being there for her family.

If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
All right, so before we get into your full story, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Sure. My name is Krista Jones and I'm in Duluth, Georgia. And my private practice is sweet talkers speech therapy.
Audience, before we started recording, Krista and I have been kind of catching up and I've been hearing some back parts of her story, which I cannot wait to share. But there's some really cool things about your story in terms of that you moved and you were in one location and you moved to someplace else, some reasons for having flexibility in your life. But before we kind of get to what your private practice looks like now, can you take us back to before you had a private practice and kind of what you were doing career-wise. And then what made you start to think about private practice?
I grew up in California and my husband and I are both California natives. And so went to school in California, started my CF in California. I really, really wanted to work with adults. My kids were super little at the time. And so I didn't want to work with children. I wanted to work with adults. And so I was seeking opportunities for that. Part of my CF, I found an outpatient clinic. And there were enough adults. to be very interesting to me. And so I loved seeing those adult patients. But what I really fell in love with was working with the kiddos. We saw a range of kids and probably about 70% of my caseload was early intervention.
