What motivated Farwa Husain 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.

Now on to the episode Farwa Hussein is a speech language pathologist with a neurodiversity affirming private practice in New Jersey. She decided to start her private practice after feeling burnt out and wanting to have a deeper impact on the children that she's working with. I got to know Farwood during her time in both the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs, and it has been so incredible to watch her grow into the private practitioner that she is today. In this episode, she talks about specializing in gestalt language processing and the importance of neurodiversity affirming care. Barwa discusses how specializing has allowed her to have more control over her caseload and avoid burnout.
She also talks about how she grew her practice by providing in-services and education for families and also the community, and how she is now selling physical products. If you're thinking about specializing in your private practice and want to learn more, this is a must-listen episode, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kazvan, CEO of the Independent Clinician and founder of Private Practice School. First, I started my own private practice. And then over the past 15 years, I've worked with over 10,000 SLPs and OTs to start and grow their successful private practices so they can have more freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and finances. I created the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. to share what's possible for you, your family, your clients, and your community when you choose private practice.
We'll share everything from small private practice side hustles to flexible lifestyle private practices to traditional brick and mortar practices and everything in between. You'll meet regular clinicians, just like you, who followed our steps and are now living their private practice dreams. If they can do it, you can do it too. So let's get started. Hey Burwell, how's it
going?
How are you? Thank you so much for having
me.
This is so exciting. I know this is very exciting. So, listeners, you may have heard Farwa on my podcast. She was on an episode of the podcast, I think it was episode 212. And in that podcast, you shared your story of working three days a week and having three kids. And that was kind of like the title of the episode and what we talked about. So some people have listened to that episode, but some people didn't get to listen to that episode. So I thought what we could do is to kind of go back to the beginning. And would you mind sharing kind of where you were in your life when you started your practice and why did
you decide to start it? Sure. And just a little side note, now I'm down to two and a half days a week. My private practice is called one-on-one speech therapy and it's located in Rariton, New Jersey. I specialize in gestalt language processing. And how I got here, I had children and I felt like there was something missing in my lights, and I wanted to give something back to my community. And I realized I was driving my children around to different services, PT, O T speech, and being on the other side of the waiting room was a little jarring. And I did not like the feeling of them just saying all the things that were wrong with my child. And I said, you know what, we have to try something different.
