What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

Diane Dickerson is a speech language pathologist with a virtual, floor time-focused private practice in the US and London. Diane discovered her passion for floor time therapy after working with a very special child and his family during undergrad. She was motivated to start her own private practice in 2020 when a parent reached out and asked for virtual therapy for her son at the start of the pandemic. In this episode, Diane shares her love of floor time therapy and talks about how starting her own private practice has allowed her the freedom to move abroad with her family and still see clients.
If you've been thinking about starting a private practice and you want the flexibility to travel or even live abroad, this is a must-listen 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 name,
your location, and the name of your private practice? My name is Diane Dickerson. My practice is Floretime, Florida, and I am currently based in London, but I was previously in Florida, Penn City. Okay,
so we have a lot to talk about. I have watched you in our programs and in on Instagram. Can you tell everyone what your Instagram handle is? Because I really like your Instagram. Sure, it's floor time F L A.
So it's like floor
time F L A. Okay, fantastic. So before we talk about how your private practice is now and maybe how it's working out being in London, but also working as someone abroad, can we go back to the beginning of your private practice journey or of your journey actually as a clinician and talk about how you got started and when did you first start thinking about private practice?
Sure. So I was in high school and I had a cousin, my mom's cousin was a speech therapist. So she actually has her own practice in Tampa and she talked about her flexible schedule and she got to see the kids after school or while her little kids were at school. So I always found it fascinating that you could do what you love but also be in control of doing what you love. So I was in high school taking my major for going into undergrad in Florida and Communication sciences and disorders came up. I love communication. I love just as the acting being able to help someone be a successful communicator. So I wanted to work with peeds and I wanted to work with the special needs population. I went to college and in one of my courses, one of the professors, she shared information for a family.
And my best friend in college was like, We've got to do this.
