Want to make more money and work fewer hours? My guests in today’s episode are doing just that!

Brandie Johnson and Alyssa Fittipaldi are alums of the Start Your Private Practice program, who join me during this episode to share their experiences and insights on how they transition from traditional job settings to owning their own practices.

Brandie is a speech-language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in the Portland, Oregon area. She started her private practice called Growing Roots, only having two and a half years of experience as an SLP. Even though she's early in her career, she is thriving in private practice.

Alyssa is a speech-language pathologist in the Tampa Bay area, and she started her private practice called Talk to Talk Pediatric Therapy after discovering the independent clinician Instagram and also this podcast. Alyssa realized that she could start her private practice sooner than she thought, so she started seeing private clients on the side and quickly grew her clientele.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The benefits Brandie and Alyssa gain from owning their practices
• What they wish they had known sooner about starting a private practice
• A look into how taking insurance works
• Tips for overcoming imposter syndrome
• How you can conduct therapy that aligns with your values

Have you been thinking about starting a private practice in your small town? You’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories!

I sat down with Gabby Hewitt, a speech language pathologist with a private practice specializing in orofacial myology in a small town in North Dakota. She opened her practice while knowing there was a lack of speech therapy services in her hometown and wanted to fill that gap.

I got to know Gabby during her time in the Start and Grow Your Private Practice programs and it has been amazing to watch the impact she has had bringing a much-needed service to her rural area.

In this episode, Gabby talks about how she started her practice right out of her CF, how clients find her, why she hired an assistant, and how specializing in feeding and myo has helped clients be drawn to her.

Gabby is an ASHA Certified SLP specializing in orofacial myology, oral myofunctional disorders, and pediatric feeding and swallowing. She is currently in the certification process for becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), Certified Myofunctional Therapist (CMT®), and Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®).

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of North Dakota before obtaining her Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Gannon University in Ruskin, FL where she was a member of the first-ever graduate SLP program cohort.

It was in Florida that she discovered and learned about orofacial myology. Following her clinical fellowship, Gabby opened her private practice, UpNorth Therapies, in her hometown of Carrington, North Dakota where she recently just completed a renovation and expansion project of a new clinic space 8 months after opening.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How and why Gabby decided to start a private practice so early in her career
• Why work-life balance isn’t just a fantasy with a private practice
• The good you can do for your community when you take control of your life and career
• The key to getting your first clients as a private practice owner in a small town
• The true power of specializing as a private practice owner
• How you can structure your week when you are in charge of your hours
• A look into the impact of hiring help in your private practice
• How the Start and Grow programs helped Gabby grow her business and get more stability
• The power you have to grow at your own pace in your business

I hope you enjoyed this episode with Gabby! She is a perfect example of someone who opened her private practice early on in her career and specialized in a rural area.
