Why is now the best time to start a private practice for clinicians?
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.

And today is a solo episode because I want to talk to y'all about something very important, which is why the fall season is the perfect time to start working with private clients. So whether you're a newer clinician who's already feeling burned out and looking for a change, or you're a seasoned clinician who has been putting off private practice for years or decades even, and it's Finally ready to do it? This episode is for you, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System.
How does the back‑to‑school energy of fall create demand for private therapy services?
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.
Alright, so I don't know about you, but fall is my favorite season. First, I love cooler temperatures. Also, I now live in the Northeast, and I love it when the leaves start changing colors, and I also love hoodies and cozy clothes and fall food. The fall season brings with it a unique energy that's perfect for embarking on new ventures. Even if you don't work in the schools, that back-to-school vibe is contagious and is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf in your career and start working with private clients.
What specific reasons make fall the ideal season for families to seek private therapy?
One major reason why fall is a great time to start working with private clients is because there's a spike in interest in therapy services in the fall and people start seeking out private therapy. Kids are back in school now, and that means that teachers are actively identifying students with therapy needs. The fall is when those issues become apparent. And while some kids may get services in the schools, that might take a while, or it might not be enough for the right kind of services, in which case parents will be looking for either primary services or supplemental services for their children. Since many established private clinics have long wait lists, they're going to be looking for smaller private practices without wait lists to serve their child.
That is where you can come in and fill a need for that family. There are also some parents who might have intended to seek services for their children last year, but hadn't taken action yet. The fall season serves as a gentle reminder that it's time to address their child's needs. So that's why fall is a great time for families and clients to seek out services. Now let's talk about why fall is the perfect time for therapists to start private practices.
