What if the stress, burnout, and uncertainty you're feeling right now are actually guiding you toward something better? That's exactly what happened to Kansas Staffy, who went from feeling overwhelmed in her clinical job to running a thriving private practice, Talk and Taste Pediatric Therapy, in Delta and Montrose, Colorado.Kansas is a speech-language pathologist who specializes in AAC and feeding therapy. After working in home health, and outpatient clinics, she realized that traditional settings weren't allowing her to take care of her health—or serve clients the way she wanted to.Like many clinicians, Kansas once said, “I never want to own a business.” But after facing health challenges and the stress of an audit at work, she knew something had to change. With encouragement from her husband and support from the Start Your Private Practice Program, she took the leap. Within six months, she grew from zero to 25 clients and a full caseload.Today, Kansas serves children from infancy through young adulthood, offering both home visits and office-based therapy. She continues to specialize in AAC and feeding while building strong relationships with families, OTs, and other local providers. Her practice is rooted in collaboration, flexibility, and creative problem-solving—especially important in a rural area with limited access to care.In this episode, Kansas talked about how she built her business with her health and lifestyle in mind. She works Tuesday through Friday, with built-in time for rest, billing, and medical appointments. Her husband, who manages the local grocery store, has even become an unofficial “referral source,” spreading the word about her services throughout the community.In this episode, we discuss:What helped her make that powerful mindset shift from employee to entrepreneurHow she built a client base in a small rural communityThe ways she connected with other professionals and programs to grow her practiceHow she built her schedule and systems around her health, her values, and her lifeKansas's story is proof that you can build a thriving private practice—even in a small town—when you combine persistence, creativity, and a clear sense of purpose. What started as a move for her health turned into a business that brings life-changing services to families who truly need them.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Kansas has? The Start Your Private Practice Program gives you the tools and guidance to get started.

In this Ask Allison, we're talking about a common—but rarely spoken—concern: how to navigate the leap into private practice when you've had serious health issues and rely on agency benefits like paid sick time, FMLA, and health insurance. You'll hear my take on how to separate fear from facts, what protections you can replicate outside of agency work, and why this decision doesn't have to be all or nothing. Because yes, benefits matter—and so does your autonomy. You can build a private practice that honors both your health and your finances. Let's talk about how.

Most private practice owners aren't being held back by their competition — they're being held back by fear. In this week's episode, Brian unpacks the two types of mistakes that quietly sabotage your success: The Conscious Mistake: When you overanalyze and delay decisions until opportunity passes. The Invisible Mistake: When you make choices on autopilot, using old ideas that no longer fit your current situation. You'll learn how to recognize both, how to stop “slow-rolling” your decisions, and how to confidently act like a CEO — without letting fear of mistakes stall your progress.

Neurologist Scott Tzorfas discusses his article "The crushing bureaucracy that's driving independent physicians to extinction." Scott shares his firsthand experience as a neurologist in private practice for three decades, where endless pre-authorizations, insurance denials, and regulatory burdens have eroded the physician-patient relationship. He explains how excessive rules and third-party interference have pushed many doctors to sell their practices or retire early, leaving patients with fewer choices and longer wait times. Scott also highlights his petition calling for policymakers to roll back unnecessary regulations and restore the autonomy of independent physicians. Listeners will take away a deeper understanding of how bureaucracy impacts patient care and why protecting private practice is essential for the future of American medicine.

Most practice owners think profitability and patient care are at odds—you either make money or you do right by your patients. The truth? You can (and must) do both. In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, Adam Robin sits down with Dan Neissany—physical therapist turned entrepreneur, healthcare consultant, podcast host, and co-founder of Best Practice Strategies. Dan's mission is simple: help practices grow without burning out. They dig into:Why money isn't evil—and how profitability actually fuels better patient careThe tough conversations practice owners avoid (and why avoidance kills progress)How data-driven decisions reveal hidden profit leaks and growth opportunitiesThe mindset difference between thriving owners and struggling onesWhy systems, accountability, and leadership—not just hard work—are the real drivers of success If you've ever felt torn between helping patients and making a profit, this episode will reframe what it means to run a business that serves everyone—patients, employees, and you.
What if private practice wasn't the end goal but the launchpad? In this episode, Gordon talks with Carly Hill, LCSW, business strategist and host of The Thriving Therapreneur Podcast, about how therapists can outgrow the office by adding coaching, creating digital offers, and building freedom-based businesses. Carly shares her journey from burnout to building a seven-figure coaching brand and breaks down exactly how clinicians can protect their license while expanding beyond therapy. You'll learn the key differences between therapy and coaching, how to ethically separate your businesses, and how to market your coaching offers with confidence. In this episode, you'll hear: The real difference between therapy and coaching How to protect your license when adding coaching Why therapists should lead the coaching space How to build multiple income streams beyond private practice Carly's approach to creating freedom, flexibility, and impact Resources Mentioned In This Episode Read the show notes here Watch on YouTube Use the promo code “GORDON” to get 2 months of Therapy Notes free Consulting with Gordon The PsychCraft Network Profit First for Therapists Workbook Meet Carly Hill, LCSW, Business Coach For Therapists Carly Hill, LCSW, is a business strategist and coach who helps clinicians venture beyond the therapy room and build successful, sustainable online businesses. Through her signature programs and trainings, she teaches everything from understanding the difference between therapy and coachin g to mastering niche clarity, marketing, sales, branding, and mindset. Her mission is simple: to help clinicians impact more lives while creating freedom-based businesses. Before becoming a business coach, Carly worked as a therapist and loved the work she did—but she loved her freedom even more. She longed for time freedom, energy freedom, travel freedom, and financial freedom—something she couldn't fully experience within the traditional therapy model. Seeing so many other therapists facing burnout and financial limitations, Carly began questioning the system that left such highly educated professionals overworked and underpaid. She started a networking group to help fellow therapists combat burnout, which soon evolved into a larger mission: to find real solutions for therapists who wanted more flexibility and fulfillment. Through her own discovery, research, and training in high-ticket group coaching and organic lead generation, Carly developed a proven client attraction system she calls the Modern Marketing Masterplan. This approach allowed her to grow from $0 to consistent six-figure months in record time. Today, Carly's focus is on sharing everything she's learned—empowering therapists to leverage their expertise, attract ideal clients, and design businesses that align with the freedom-filled lives they deserve. Carly believes every therapist has the power to build a business that supports both their purpose and their peace.

In this conversation, Dr. Adam Nessim speaks with healthcare expert Heath Villaman about the challenges and opportunities for physicians looking to start their own practices. They discuss Heath's journey in healthcare, the impact of COVID-19 on physician-owned hospitals, and the economic realities of running a practice. Heath emphasizes the importance of understanding revenue streams, the potential for hybrid models in healthcare delivery, and the need for legislative changes to support physician independence. The discussion highlights the growing demand for consumer-centric healthcare solutions and the strategies physicians can employ to build successful practices. Takeaways There is a growing need for independent physician practices. Physicians often lack training in business and entrepreneurship. COVID-19 highlighted systemic issues in healthcare, especially for physician-owned hospitals. Physician-owned hospitals can operate outside of Medicare and Medicaid regulations. Starting a private practice is more feasible now than ever before. Consumers are demanding more affordable healthcare options. Hybrid models combining insurance and cash-based services are emerging. Effective staffing is crucial for the success of a practice. Legislative changes are needed to support physician independence.

What if your private practice could finally give you the money, freedom, and balance you've always wanted—without the endless hustle or burnout?That's exactly what today's guest, Ellie Richter, created for herself. Ellie is the owner of The Essential Teletherapist, and she's transformed her career from driving all over town for clients to running a thriving telepractice on her own terms.Ellie has been an SLP since 2010, working primarily as a bilingual therapist in nonprofits. In 2022, she decided to step away from traditional roles and test out private practice with just a handful of clients. By 2024, she went all in—rebranding, creating clear systems, and designing a practice that aligned with her values and family's needs.At first, Ellie took any client she could, driving around for home visits. But as a mom and primary parent, the stress of being on the road was unsustainable. Around the same time, health challenges within her family pushed her to rethink her income, schedule, and priorities.With support from the Start and later the Grow Your Private Practice Program, Ellie clarified her vision, set her rates, and built a plan that worked. She leaned into her expertise in bilingual therapy and school contracts, while also developing a new passion—helping other SLPs succeed at teletherapy. Within her first year of going all in, Ellie hit six figures, built contracts through word of mouth, and created a business that truly worked for her life.In this episode, Ellie shares how she specializes in bilingual evaluations, early intervention, and teletherapy. Through her practice, The Essential Teletherapist, she not only serves children and families but also trains other SLPs to deliver effective virtual services. And how she built her business around family life—choosing her hours, and creating systems for what she calls “maximal ease.” She continues to refine her practice so it's sustainable long term, both financially and personally.In this episode, we discuss:How Ellie transitioned from nonprofit work to launching her own practiceWhat it looks like to build a bilingual teletherapy and school contract modelThe mindset shifts she made to prioritize ease and balanceAnd why aligning her business with her family's needs has been the key to successEllie's story proves that you don't have to choose between being a present parent and building a successful career.

It is Marta's third career shift, becoming a psychotherapist, after 20 years in healthcare and having worked in academia before! Across this wide career and lived experience, she knew that she wanted to bring it all into her work in her private practice. Additionally, Marta had been helped by many people when she was getting started, which is what encouraged her to pay it forward by offering supervision and mentorship to new and upcoming clinicians. In this podcast episode, Marta and I discuss pivoting from full-time to work full-time in private practice, how to hire the right people, and how to maintain the soul of therapy within the growing business. Join us for a great conversation! MEET MARTA Marta Evans, RP, M.Ed., C.C.C., is a psychotherapist and certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist based in Hamilton, Ontario. She's the founder of Evans Family Counselling & Psychotherapy, a heart-led group practice specializing in transformational therapies like IFS and EMDR for individuals navigating complex trauma, grief, and life transitions. Known for her warm, authentic presence and “gentle but spicy” approach, Marta is a strong advocate for trauma-informed care that challenges the limitations of the traditional medical model. At EFCP, she and her team prioritize respectful, collaborative care that supports deep healing and change by addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Learn more about Marta on her practice website, Psychology Today, and Facebook profiles. In this episode: Starting private practice Diversifying your experience Building up a group practice Marta's advice to listeners Starting the private practice As Marta explains, being a psychotherapist is her third career. She worked for a long time in academia and as a radiation therapist in oncology before transitioning to psychotherapy. With her private practice, Marta started it part-time initially before getting to the point where she had enough clients to move into working in the practice full-time. She worked for some time in a group private practice while building up her own. Diversifying your experience After Marta completed her Master's degree, and while she was building up her private practice and working in another group practice, she got as involved as she could over the span of about seven years - before going full private practice - to soak up as much experience as possible. She knew that her degree was valuable, but that she simultaneously wanted to have a lot more experience under her belt, which can only be acquired through working directly with people. Building up a group practice Marta developed her solo practice into a group practice in January 2024s. She decided to grow her private practice because she wanted to have a community of therapists around her, she wanted to stop turning clients away, and she wanted to start supervising and mentoring new clinicians. Now, Marta has associates and mentees - she wants to help them nourish their passions and to provide an essential service that she herself benefited from. In a way, she's paying it forward. Marta's advice to listeners Slow is fast! Be intentional. Don't lose the soul of therapy by getting too caught up in the business aspects of running a private practice.

After completing her residency and fellowship, she moved directly into hospital administration, eventually overseeing nearly 200 hospital laboratories across a major healthcare system. She explains how managing quality metrics, regulatory readiness, and clinical stewardship during COVID positioned her for executive growth. Yet after several years, she sought the creativity and challenge of solving new problems, which led her to co-found NatRevMD with her husband. She outlines the billing challenges that strain private practices, eligibility checks, denial management, and financial metrics, and emphasizes that while the early years of a business are demanding, effective delegation and the right hires make growth sustainable. She also draws from the NatRevMD podcast and her book, "Thrive," to offer practical advice for physicians evaluating billing services, including the key accounts receivable metric that signals when a change is needed.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Brittany Anderson, a passionate rural family medicine physician from Alabama who's breaking the myth that private practice is dead. Dr. Anderson shares her inspiring journey from employed, academic medicine—where bureaucracy and lack of autonomy led to burnout—to launching her own thriving private practice in 2022. She opens up about the challenges and rewards of creating a sustainable, patient-centered clinic from the ground up, how she built a strong team, and the financial realities of going solo. Dr. Anderson also offers valuable advice for physicians considering private practice, emphasizing the importance of vision, efficient teamwork, and maintaining personal well-being along the entrepreneurial journey. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make private practice work in today's healthcare landscape, or you're navigating burnout yourself, this episode is packed with practical insights, encouragement, and hope. Tune in and get ready to be inspired! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Build on a Strong Foundation: Before launching your own practice, get crystal clear on your vision and mission. Let these guide every decision—from hiring to daily processes—so you create a practice aligned with your purpose. Teamwork & Efficiency Matter: Dr. Anderson credits her success to a well-integrated team. Investing in proper team formation, regular huddles, and empowering every staff member (from receptionist to nursing staff) leads to efficient care, happier patients, and less burnout. Start Lean, Grow Smart: You don't need the fanciest setup to begin. Focus on essential expenses, know your numbers, and market purposefully. Dr. Anderson started small, used powerful grassroots marketing, and filled her panel from day one—proof positive that strategic planning works!

I completed undergraduate studies at Duke University and medical school at UAB (Birmingham) I did my family medicine residency training at The University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). I know firsthand how overwhelming (and exhilarating) it can be to step away from traditional models and create something of your own.

What if the career you thought you'd never leave ended up being the springboard into something even better? That's exactly what happened to Amanda Smith, who turned years of hospital experience into her own private practice, Lasting Language Therapy Services, in Woodstock, Georgia.Amanda is a speech-language pathologist specializing in adults with neurological conditions. After starting her career in a large neuro clinic outside of Atlanta, she built a reputation for her clinical skills and strong professional network. Amanda loved her work in hospital systems and juggled multiple PRN roles for years. But when her child struggled in public school, she knew she needed more control over her schedule and income to better support her family.At first, the idea of private practice felt intimidating—especially the business side. But after joining the Start Your Private Practice Program, Amanda realized she could use her existing clinical skills and professional connections to take the leap. Within weeks of signing up, she got her first client.Amanda started small, gradually replacing her hospital shifts as referrals grew through her strong reputation and connections. Partnering with neuro rehab and movement centers helped fuel a 650% growth from year one to year two, specializing in adults with neurological conditions, and recently expanded into her own office space designed to feel welcoming and calm.In this episode, we talk about how Amanda treasures the freedom her practice provides. She balances homeschooling support, family life, and business growth—something she never thought possible when tied to hospital shifts. She's even preparing to expand into wellness services with hopes to open a second location closer to home.In this episode, we discuss:How she came to the realization that private practice was the ticket to being able to make more money in less time and provide high quality care for her favorite clientsThe marketing strategies she used to grow her caseload and reputationHow committing to knowing her numbers has made her a much more confident business ownerHow she Built partnerships with other professionals that turned into consistent referralsAmanda's story is proof that you don't have to jump all in at once—starting small and growing step-by-step can still lead to incredible results. With confidence, strategy, and a clear vision, she built a thriving practice that supports both her family and her community.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Amanda has?

When I started this show back in 2017, my goal was simple: to share resources, lessons, and encouragement for therapists building their practices. Over the years, I've learned so much (often the hard way), and I've been blessed by the many incredible guests and colleagues who have shared their wisdom here.

In this episode, I'm joined by Joey Peppas, an occupational therapist running her own private practice. Together, we dig deep into the less-talked-about realities of our profession—being a people pleaser, battling imposter syndrome, and the unique personality traits that often draw us into OT in the first place. Joey shares her experiences of navigating private practice, from the practical challenges of running a business to the personal growth that comes with stepping outside the comfort zone. We also reflect on the ways our personalities shape how we show up as therapists, colleagues, and leaders. If you've ever felt like you're giving too much, doubted whether you're “enough,” or wondered what it really takes to thrive in private practice, this conversation is for you. https://www.instagram.com/p/DOfxLwMAbV1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Instagram: @OccupiedPodcast Facebook: Occupied Podcast Host: Brock Cook Subscribe now and never miss an episode!
I've worn a lot of hats. Physician, patient, Domino's delivery guy, even walk-in freezer napper. But in this episode, Kristin and I dive into a conversation that's bigger (and scarier) than my teenage pizza-ball experiments: what happens if we cut health insurance out of healthcare altogether? We start with rabies bats in Wyoming (because of course we do), wander into my old nap habits, and then head straight into a serious discussion sparked by Dr. Elisabeth Potter about the state of private practice medicine. Is it time to rethink the way we pay for healthcare? Could direct patient-physician models actually work? And how much longer can small practices survive the insurance stranglehold? Takeaways: Insurance Reality Check – Who actually sets the prices for your care? Spoiler: not your doctor. The Potter Question – What happens if we cut the middleman and patients just pay doctors directly? Private Practice on the Brink – Why small practices are disappearing—and who's really behind it. Rabies in the Tetons – Hundreds exposed, five painful shots, and a reminder that bats don't always stay in caves. Domino's Memories – From pizza-balls to road rage, the teenage jobs that taught me more about tipping than med school ever did. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
