Why is starting a private practice easier now than it used to be?
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.

Before we dive in, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Yeah, so my name is Victoria King Herb. My private practice is King Speech Therapy Services. It's in the Inland Empire, um, or upland California. I started my private practice in the summer of twenty twenty, so right after the pandemic.
I remember it there was right when the pandemic started. I was like, gosh, I don't know. Are people gonna wanna go into private practice? I literally thought that like my business was over. And then what happened was is that people had a massive interest in private practice because people were being either in unsafe situations or crazy situations, right? And actually since then the desire for private practice has just grown exponentially, which has been really Cool to see. But but yeah, you were one of those early people who started during the pandemic. Can you tell our listeners a little bit about that decision for you?
Yeah, so I started working for a contracting agency right out of grad school. And I was placed in a public elementary school and I love my school. I have a really high caseload and it was starting to get burned out a little bit. And then right when the pandemic happened, I really I was having this and professional dilemma of quality of services that I was able to provide for these students, I felt like because my caseload was so high, I wasn't able to get these kids the quality services that I felt like they really deserved.
