  • Inspiring & Amazing SLP stories

Almost four years later after finding her podcast, I still listen to each story and continue to find inspiration in each SLP’s journey to private practice. I even had the honor to share my story and hope it inspires others to know they too can create the business and life they lov... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Insurance Nightmare That Built a $2 Million Practice with Rebecca Ingram Rowe and Sarah Morris
Q: When is the right time to hire a biller or a billing service?
The guests suggest assessing growth stage and workload, starting with clear contracts and processes, and recognizing that as a practice expands, delegating billing becomes essential to maintain cash flow and focus on treatment.
It's Not Too Late: How a Veteran SLP Finally Started the Practice She'd Been Dreaming About with Angela Ruiz
Q: Before we begin, can you please share your name, your location, and the name of your private practice?
Angie introduces herself as Angela Ruiz, based in Houston, Texas, and notes the private practice name Angela Ruiz SLP Services, PLL.
Mom First, SLP Second: Designing a Private Practice Schedule That Actually Works with Jennifer Travis
Q: What advice would you give someone who is thinking about starting a private practice but feels held back by fear or perfectionism?
Don't wait for perfect conditions; start with what you can do now, embrace being a beginner, and leverage support from family and a structured program to learn along the way.
Mom First, SLP Second: Designing a Private Practice Schedule That Actually Works with Jennifer Travis
Q: Where are you seeing clients? Do you have a physical location, and how do you manage visits?
She does not have a physical location; clients are seen in homes, daycares, or preschools, allowing for high flexibility and low overhead, a cornerstone of her private-pay model.
Mom First, SLP Second: Designing a Private Practice Schedule That Actually Works with Jennifer Travis
Q: Can you take us back to the beginning and share how you got started in the profession, and at what point did you start thinking about private practice?
Jennifer describes a decade-long trajectory in pediatrics, the birth of her first child as a catalyst, and a gradual move toward private pay after recognizing the limits of insurance-driven care; a neighbor referral sparked Rise Pediatric Therapy Services, which grew through word-of-mouth.
