Why are clinicians starting private practices earlier than before?
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.

Bria Carey is a speech language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in New Jersey. She started her private practice at just 26 years old after getting the inspiration from other young private practitioners who had the flexibility and freedom that she was striving for. So after feeling stuck in a negative work environment, she decided to start her very own private practice. In this episode, Bria and I discuss a major major shift with the younger generation who is simply not willing to wait for the freedom, flexibility, and income that they desire. I was that way too at 26, but things were different then.
Times have changed, and clinicians are starting private practices much earlier in their careers. So if you've been thinking about starting a private practice early on in your career, 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.
So could you share with our listeners a little bit about kind of how you got started in the profession and then at what point did you start thinking about pragma practice?
So I always knew that I wanted to be in like a helping profession. I always wanted to be a third grade teacher. So I'm like very specific. So I'm kinda close to that in a way. But I took the very traditional route in going to undergrad, going to grad school and I've always been very focused. However, in grad school I don't think I even had the mindset for being my own boss or being a business owner at that time. I was only in my early twenties. So it wasn't until after I graduated and then started to see like all the wonderful things that other people were doing that I was like, That's very inspiring. Even seeing some clinicians who have taken your course, how they have a lot of flexibility and everyone just seems a lot happier and a lot freer.
I just feel like there's a lot of negativity in the field with people who feel like they're stuck, especially people who are in the schools. And I always say I'm a school based SLP at heart. So I kinda wanted to change the narrative on that. And it's worked out so far.
Yeah.
I love
that. So something interesting that that's different from you and I is when I first got started in private prayer. So can I ask how old you are? I'm twenty six. Amazing. Okay. So when I was twenty six and I started my Praga practice, there was like no role models, right? Who who were my age, right?
