LET ME GUESS…

You love being an SLP (or OT). You love working with your students. 

 

But somewhere between the 80-student caseload, the IEP meetings that eat your lunch break, and the paperwork that follows you home at night… you started wondering:

You've thought about private practice.

Maybe for months. Maybe for years. You've Googled it, followed people who've done it, maybe even whispered it to a friend or two.

But every time you get close to actually doing something about it, you hit the same wall:


âś— "I don't know where to start."
âś— "I don't have a business background."
âś— "I can't afford to quit my job."
âś— "What if I mess up the legal stuff?"
âś— "What if nobody hires me?"

So you stay. And sign the contract for another year. And count down to the next school break just to get through the week.

I know - because that was me.

I started my private practice at age 26, while working full time as an SLP. I didn't quit first. I didn't have a business degree. I just had a step-by-step plan -and that made all the difference.

Now I want to help you start the right way. 

Private Pop-Up Facebook Group

This challenge takes place in a pop-up Facebook group, where you'll have daily "homework" tasks (don't worry – they're fun and easy!) where you will work through the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of YOUR private practice.

The group will open up on Wednesday, January 14, and you'll get the chance to connect with other like-minded SLPs and OTs who are excited for what's to come in 2026!

Bonus Training & Prizes

 

The group opens on January 14, but we want you to get momentum right away!

Immediately after you register, you'll get access to a free bonus video training series (less than 10 minutes in all).

By watching and completing the video, you'll be entered to win one of two $50 Target gift cards!

Nightly Live Calls

During each night of the Plan Your Private Practice bootcamp, Jena will be live in the Facebook group at 8pm ET to help you work through planning your private practice and answer any questions you may have. 

The recordings of these calls will remain in the group after they end, so you can rewatch them if you can't make it live.

Oh, and of COURSE there are giveaways each night for those who attend live and complete the homework!

Live Interactive Training

On day 3, Jena will be live again in the Bootcamp Facebook Group at 8pm ET where she will be teaching you How to Earn $100/Hour as an SLP or OT in 2026.

You will also get an EXCLUSIVE invitation to enroll in the Start Your Private Practice program with bonuses that are only available during this bootcamp session!

Your future is waiting.
Join this free live training and to learn how to finally start your practice the right way.

They were in your exact spot.

Now they own their own practice. 

SCHOOL SLP → PRACTICE OWNER

"Before the Start Program, I didn't think I wanted to be an SLP anymore. I was constantly thinking about the IEPs I needed to write and wondering how I was going to fit 6 students in my speech closet. Now…? I'm having FUN again!" 

-Tayler Garzarek, MS CCC-SLP | Owner, Chatterbox Children's Therapy

ROI IN 2 WEEKS

I made the investment back already in my first 2 weeks of launching my private practice. I'm now up to 25 clients and I started 3 months ago. It's so worth it." 

-Katja Piscitelli, MS CCC-SLP | Owner, Total Spectrum Therapy

LIFE CHANGED

"I 100% recommend The Start Program. When I say it COMPLETELY changed my life, I mean it! I'm running my own private practice full-time and happier than ever in my life." -Patricia Saenz, MA CCC-SLP | Owner, The Heart of Therapy

Jena Castro-Casbon, MS CCC-SLP

Founder of The Independent Clinician | Author of The Path to Private Practice 

I started my private practice at age 26 -on the side of my SLP job -because I was burned out and knew there had to be a better way. I had no business background. No connections. No idea what I was doing.

I figured it out step by step, built a practice I loved, and eventually made it my full-time career.

Then my SLP and OT friends started asking how I did it. So I built The Independent Clinician to teach them.

10,000+ Clinicians Helped | 50 States | 10 Years Teaching

"This training is everything I wish someone had told me before I started. I can't wait to share it with you."

You don't need to have it all figured out.

You just need a plan.

 Join me on APRIL 27-29 and I'll give you one. 

No business degree required. No risk. No fluff. Just a real plan from someone who's done it and helped 10,000+ clinicians do it too.
