Why did the host decide to write *The Path to 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.

Today, I'm going to be reading an excerpt from my new book, The Path to Private Practice. It feels surreal to be doing this. Some of you may be new to me, but I've been teaching SLPs and OTs how to start, grow, and scale private practices since 2008. That's 15 years. And over the past 15 years, I've learned exactly what people who are starting their private practice journey need to hear and know in order. To decide if private practice is the right path for them. And I can't wait to share some of that on today's episode and in my new book, 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.
Who is the new book intended for and what challenges does it address?
If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
I recently wrote my first book, The Path to Private Practice. I wish I had had this book when I was first thinking about starting my own private practice, so I decided to write the book that I wish I had back when I was full of self-doubt, full of questions and full of what-ifs, and desperately wanting to learn more about how private practices worked, how others were doing it, and what my first steps should be. You can learn more about the book and order the Path to Private Practice by going to privatepracticbook.com. Yes, it'll be available on Amazon, but my website will have links not only to the book itself, but to the additional book bonuses that come with purchase. While the Path to Private Practice is intended for complete beginners or those in the plan your private practice phase of the journey, it's a great read for people who are further along and may be experiencing.
some challenges, such as imposter syndrome or feeling guilty about charging for your services. Because in addition to practical tips, I also cover some mindset issues that you'll need to explore in order to be successful in private practice. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the introduction to the path to private practice. I just want to help people. How many times have you said or thought that? You chose the field of speech language pathology or occupational therapy because you want to help people and make a positive difference in the world. These fields aren't just professions, they're a calling for smart and dedicated clinicians who want to help children and adults navigate their challenges and live fuller and more independent lives.
We are called to serve and are uniquely qualified to help people through our extensive education, training, and clinical experience. As much as we love our profession, many clinicians are frustrated with their jobs. Here are two main problems in the professions of speech and occupational therapy.
