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.

She started her Instagram account and consulting practice, the PTSD SLP, after experiencing a traumatic event at work. This experience led Rachel to discover what trauma-informed care is, and how knowing what it is and what its principles are can help her better serve her students and educate fellow professionals. In this episode, she talks about what trauma-informed care is and isn't, why it matters, and how to apply the principles in your clinical and daily interactions. Now this is not a private practice specific episode, but it is information that all private practitioners need, even if you don't think you need it.
You do, I promise. This episode is well worth your time because it will inform how you practice and how you interact with not just clients, but frankly, everyone you know. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that I typically interview private practitioners and I have a pretty standard set of questions. Well, as I got into the episode with Rachel, I realized I was just asking questions from the heart, and we really connected on that level. And I'm sure that you'll hear this through the episode. So prepare to have your mind opened and your heart touched with actionable ways to be a more trauma-informed person. Fun to the episode. 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.
All right. So before we begin, can you please share your name and a little bit of a background about how you
got started in all this? Absolutely. So my name is Rachel Archambo. I am on Instagram, for some of you might know me as the PTSD SLP. And I am both an SLP and an adult who has PTSD. I also have ADHD. So I'm An SLP that kind of is talking to other SLPs and related healthcare professionals, educators about trauma. And I know in the speech field, we automatically think of trauma as like brain injury or something like that, like a TVI. I think that's the first thing that SLPs say. But I teach on trauma-informed care. And that was never something that I was educated about in undergrad or grad school. I didn't know what it was until after crisis. For those of you who don't know, I experienced a traumatic event at work in 2018.
It was my first year as a fully credentialed SLT. And I did not know what to do after my community had undergone trauma myself, everywhere. one? And I went on the Google machine and looked up what do I do with traumatized kids? And I found trauma-informed care.
