What is the purpose of the Private Practice Success Stories episode and how can listeners get the free roadmap?
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.

Laura Geysard and Adrian Frost are two SLPs in California who met in grad school and now have their own speech therapy private practices and a popular podcast called the SLP Book Club. During the episode, Laura and Adrian share their individual stories, but some common themes about why they chose private practice were evident. Both shared their experiences of feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled in their previous jobs, but through the support of the START program, they were able to start their own private practices and find greater job satisfaction. Now they're able to choose their own clients, form better connections with families, have a more
More manageable caseload and improved work-life balance. In this episode, they both share where they get their referrals from, what types of clients they see, and whether they are generalists or are specializing in certain populations, and which one is doing private practice full-time but not working full-time hours, and which one is still doing it on the side of their other job. If you've been thinking about starting a private practice and want to see how other folks are doing it, this is a great 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 please share your names, location, and the name of your private
practice? I'm Adrien Frost. I am in Orange, California, and my private practice is Say Hello Speech Therapy. And
I'm Laura Geisert. My private practice is in North Hollywood and it is Springboard Speech Therapy. And y'all also have a podcast. Can one of you mention the podcast? We do. Our podcast is the SLP Book Club. And each month we read books that we think SLPs will really benefit from reading. And we discuss them weekly on the podcast.
Oh, I love that. You you two are totally fun. And so what I for everyone to hear kind of what your private practices are like and how they've maybe evolved. But could we go back to the beginning and can each of you just kind of take turns sharing about like a little bit about how you started in the field and then really when did you start thinking about private practice?
Sure. So Laura and I went to grad school together at Kel State LA and we graduated in twenty fifteen. So we both went into the schools. I'll let Laura talk about that. But I was with the district and had a couple of schools. I was at a high school, which is a little bit rare for speech therapy. So that was a great experience and I loved it. But I struggled a little bit with feeling effective.
