What if the path you thought you were on could lead you somewhere completely unexpected—and completely fulfilling? That's exactly what happened for San Juanita Reed, founder of Thriving Roots Speech Therapy in Houston, Texas.What started as a teaching career to children eventually blossomed into a thriving private practice, where San Juanita now serves children and adults with a wide range of speech therapy needs.San Juanita's journey into speech-language pathology began in the classroom. She spent years teaching preschool and working with infants and toddlers, but she often found herself wondering how she could do more to help her students. A chance encounter with a speech-language pathologist opened her eyes to a new path—one that combined her love of working with children with the desire to make a deeper impact on their lives. After navigating personal tragedy and taking a detour to care for herself, she pursued a master's degree in speech-language pathology and began her career in outpatient therapy and home health.Over time, San Juanita realized that while she loved helping children and families, traditional employment was limiting her growth and contributing to burnout. She began exploring private practice, and with guidance from the Start Your Private Practice Program, she discovered she could create a business that aligned with her skills, values, and life goals.When San Juanita officially launched Thriving Roots Speech Therapy, she approached it with the same careful planning she applies in therapy. She set clear monthly goals, broke them down into actionable steps, and dedicated time to focus on building her practice without distractions. Her first patient inquiries came in on launch day—a perfect reminder that preparation and persistence pay off.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:The moment she knew burnout wasn't just fatigue — it was a sign to pursue private practiceHow she broke her big goals into tiny steps to make them achievableWhat happened the day her first patient inquiry came in after launchingHow she finally reclaimed joy, purpose, and ownership by being in full control of her practice and her lifeSan Juanita's story shows that starting a private practice doesn't require prior business experience or big-city connections—it requires courage, planning, and a willingness to take small, consistent steps. By leading with her heart and putting education and value first, she built a thriving practice that aligns with her purpose and allows her to maintain balance and boundaries.Ready to take control of your career and create your own private practice?

There are some conversations you record where you know right away that they're going to land differently. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Merriman, a therapist, professor, and longtime advocate for helpers who are quietly burning out. We talk about something that hits close to home for many of us in this profession: what happens when we're really good at helping everyone else, but don't know how to receive ourselves. Julie shares how so many therapists become what she calls "floating heads of competence." We're full of knowledge, skill, and clinical insight, yet deeply disconnected from our bodies, our needs, and our sense of purpose beyond performance. We talk honestly about burnout, compassion fatigue, money, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and why private practice itself isn't what burns us out. Disconnection is. This isn't a conversation about working harder or pushing through. It's about staying human in a profession that asks a lot of us, and learning how to stay in it without losing ourselves. If you've ever felt tired in a way that rest doesn't fix, this episode is for you.

In today's Ask Allison, we're talking about why so many virtual, private-pay therapists get stuck just shy of full and what actually helps you break through that plateau. We'll explore why this usually isn't a skill issue, but a structure and consistency issue, from marketing and messaging to referrals and consults. We'll cover why "almost full" can drag on for months, how therapist-y language hurts conversions, and what boring but effective systems help you get full and stay full. If you've been hovering near capacity and feeling frustrated, this episode will help you create momentum that lasts. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

This episode addresses a common dilemma faced by dietitians: choosing between accepting insurance or opting for a cash pay model. The discussion emphasizes that the core issue isn't the payment model but aligning the business strategy with personal and professional goals. It explores the fears and misconceptions surrounding both models and provides practical advice on operating each efficiently. Importantly, it suggests a hybrid model that combines the benefits of both, offering stability, accessibility, and flexibility. The episode also touches on the necessary skills needed to successfully implement each model, advocating for a strategic approach rather than a reactive one.

In today's episode, I sat down with Nafisa Obi to talk about what it really looks like to bring speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA together under one roof. Nafisa shared her journey from starting a small speech therapy practice to co-founding Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, which has grown into a nationwide franchise model focused on early intervention and true interdisciplinary collaboration.We talked honestly about the realities of private practice ownership, the challenges of adding ABA to an existing SLP practice, and why understanding your “why” matters so much when you're building services that impact families. Nafisa walked us through how her team recognized a gap in care, leaned into collaboration instead of competition, and built a model that prioritizes children, families, and ethical growth.This conversation is especially powerful if you're an SLP, OT, BCBA, or practice owner who feels the pull to do more for your clients but isn't sure where to start. Nafisa's story is a reminder that thoughtful, family-centered care and sustainable business practices can exist together, and that collaboration truly changes outcomes.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How Essential Speech and ABA Therapy evolved from a speech-only clinic into a fully collaborative SLP, OT, and ABA modelWhat SLPs need to consider when adding ABA services, from staffing and billing to company cultureWhy true interdisciplinary collaboration improves outcomes for autistic children and their familiesHow franchising became a way to responsibly expand access to ethical, high-quality autism careMentioned In This Episode:Essential Speech and ABA TherapyNafisa Obi on LinkedInJoin the ABA Speech Connection  ABA Speech: Home

As we step into a brand new year, I wanted to start 2026 with a different kind of conversation.In this episode, I'm sharing why I chose to hit the reset button on the podcast over the last few weeks — not by stopping, but by shifting the rhythm. After a demanding fall, caregiving responsibilities, and a deep need for creative breathing room, I realized I didn't need to quit or push harder. I needed a strategic reset.So this reflection is an invitation to rethink how we approach consistency, productivity, and growth — especially in seasons where our energy, priorities, or capacity have changed - or need to change. ;)In this episode, you'll hear…Why “pushing through” or quitting entirely are not your only options.What a strategic reset can look like in real life (and in your private practice!).How small tweaks in rhythm and structure can make a big difference in your energy...Why you don't have to burn out to evolve.And a gentler way to approach goals, planning, and presence in 2026. (Totally what I'm going to try this year.

In today's Ask Allison episode of the podcast, we're talking about whether you really need a website when money is tight and tech feels overwhelming—and why, in today's landscape, skipping one often slows everything down. We'll explore why relying solely on referrals can quietly limit your growth, how clients actually make decisions when comparing providers, and why visibility matters more than perfection. We'll also talk honestly about the discomfort of building a site and why a simple, imperfect website is often enough to get started. If you've been avoiding a website because it feels intimidating, unnecessary, or out of reach, this conversation will help you reframe it as a practical, sustainable step forward.

According to the latest issue of the APA Monitor on Psychology, the top two trending topics for 2026 are about how people are interacting with AI for therapy and for companionship (and yes, some people are marrying their AI companion).In this episode, we dive into these two APA articles to take a look at the positives and downsides of using AI in these "human-like" interactions.As always, you can expect a little snarky commentary from me as well :DArticles Mentioned:Article: "AI, neuroscience, and data are fueling personalized mental health care”https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-personalized-mental-health-careArticle: "AI chatbots and digital companions are reshaping emotional connection”https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-digital-ai-relationships-emotional-connectionLINKS:*Some links are affiliate links.

Your Goals Are Garbage: A CEO-Level Strategy for Private Practice Optometry | E287Highlights from this episode:Your Goals Are Garbage: A CEO-Level Strategy for Private Practice Optometry (00:38)Closing Thought: The problem with hard workers (27:59)In this week's episode, I'm calling it like it is: your goals for 2026 are probably garbage. And it's not because goals are bad, it's because they don't have a strategy. I walk through what it really means to think like the CEO of your optometry practice, why systems beat checklists every time, and how cherry-picking shiny ideas like dry eye, myopia management, or new tech will burn you out without the right infrastructure. If you want sustainable growth, less staff frustration, and a practice that actually runs without you grinding every day, this episode will challenge how you think about growth and force you to simplify instead of adding more noise. This is about building a practice designed to win on purpose.

In this episode I had a powerful conversation with Dr. Andrew Hartz, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Open Therapy Institute. We explored how politics, values, and therapy are increasingly showing up together in the therapy room and why that matters for both clients and clinicians. What's New with Berries: Berries now lets you generate a complete, personalized treatment plan in seconds - built from your diagnoses, session notes, and clinical preferences, using customizable templates that match your voice and style. Its powerful "golden thread" ensures your treatment plan and notes stay clinically aligned, continuously informing each other as care evolves.

A streamlined workflow where every session builds on the last, and documentation becomes part of your clinical process - not just another admin task.  Use code TherapyShow50 for $50 off your first month - CLICK HERE.  Key takeaways: Therapist bias is a real and growing concern. Many clients feel alienated due to perceived political or ideological leanings of their therapists, often unintentionally communicated through things like pronoun usage or assumptions about worldview. Most therapists lean left politically, which can lead to clients self-censoring, feeling misunderstood, or avoiding therapy altogether. The Open Therapy Institute (OTI) was created to support therapists who want to offer politically neutral, values-attuned therapy and serve populations that feel underserved, especially those with conservative or centrist views. Therapists can grow their practice by learning to work effectively with clients from across the political spectrum. There is high demand and low supply of therapists trained to do this well. We discussed the importance of dialectical thinking. This means helping clients (and ourselves) hold multiple perspectives and tolerate ambiguity, especially around politics, religion, and identity.

Have you ever found yourself loving the work of therapy, but feeling frustrated by systems that make it difficult for your clients to receive the help they need? Dana reached that crossroads and made a brave, intentional leap toward a practice that supports both her clinical values and her personal well-being. In this podcast episode, Dana and I talk about her path into psychotherapy, and what it looked like to slowly and thoughtfully transition from hospital work into full-time private practice.  We also dive into learning SEO as a solo practitioner, using AI without losing your human voice, and why giving your practice time to grow organically can be a powerful choice. There's so much practical wisdom in this conversation, and I'm excited for you to listen in! MEET DANA Dana is an occupational therapist who practices psychotherapy and the owner of Cedar Tree Therapy, a private practice in Whitby, Ontario. With close to a decade of mental health experience, Dana sees individuals with anxiety, eating disorders, and OCD. Learn more about Dana on her private practice website and Psychology Today profile.  In this episode:  Dana's academic background and current practice Going from clinical work to private practice  How Dana's private practice has evolved  The therapist book club  Researching marketing and SEO best practices Dana's advice for listeners  Dana's academic background and current practice  While Dana's private practice is situated in Whitby, Ontario, she completed her Master's degree in occupational therapy at McGill University in Montreal.  'I came back to Ontario after finishing my Master's, and in Ontario specifically … occupational therapists are one of the six regulated healthcare professionals that can practice controlled active psychotherapy. So, my practice is entirely psychotherapy, and my license type is that I just happen to be an occupational therapist.' - Dana Etherington Due to Ontario's regulatory laws, Dana can practice psychotherapy with an occupational therapy background. Remember to always check your province's regulations when planning your future Canadian private practice! The bridge between Dana's occupational therapy background and her current psychotherapy-focused practice is built on her appreciation for her clients. 'I loved spending the day getting to know people, and it felt like such an honor to hear people's stories. From then on, I knew that was how I wanted my career to go, and it feels so special to be trusted by clients to hear some really complicated and vulnerable parts of their lives.' - Dana Etherington  Going from clinical work to private practice After graduating, Dana didn't immediately go into private practice. She first spent time working at a psychiatric hospital beforehand. 'I was working my nine-to-five at the psychiatric hospital, and then I started my private practice part-time. I'd see maybe four clients a week after I was done with my hours at the hospital.' - Dana Etherington  Dana felt frustrated by the systemic barriers that made it difficult for people who needed support and help to find it, and that passion encouraged her to begin offering therapy in her own Ontario private practice. When Dana became a mother, she knew that she had to choose between working in the hospital and committing to her private practice.  'I knew I couldn't go on working both these jobs any longer. I was at this point where I had to make a choice: I either had to leave private practice behind or I had to jump in with both feet. So, I chose to jump in … And I have been full-time ever since 2023!' - Dana Etherington  How Dana's private practice has evolved 'I think it's the best decision I've ever made. It allows me to be the therapist I want to be, and also the mother that I want to be, too. It offers me that flexibility, it allows me to have time and space to also take care of myself. I couldn't think of a better career choice for me.' - Dana Etherington Right now, Dana has an in-person office in downtown Brooklyn as well as sees clients online.  In terms of staff, Dana currently has a contractor. She is open to expanding one day, but not right now. At this moment in time, she enjoys the time, space, and energy, and is giving the practice the chance to grow organically.  The therapist book club As a way to create more community, Dana and some of her fellow therapy colleagues have decided to launch a local therapist's book club in one of the members' offices.  They meet in person over an evening once a month, where they can discuss therapy, private practice-related work, and books that they are collectively reading about their work and specialties.  Researching marketing and SEO best practices Since Dana is running her Canadian private practice, she threw herself into researching everything there is to know about SEO.  Some of the tips she has for listeners are:  Get clear on your niche  Don't be afraid to commit to your niche  Try as best you can to consider what your ideal client is Googling when they are looking for someone like you to help them  When it comes to using AI, Dana recommends it for creating content that you may use for marketing, such as blogs. However, always humanize your work, because SEO is strongest when it is person-written and person-focused.  Dana's advice for listeners  Remember that marketing is part of your job now. It is not an extra luxury piece; it is part of reaching your ideal client and making a positive impact in the community around you. So, don't fear it, embrace it!

It's January 2026 and time to focus on your 2026 practice goals. What do you want to accomplish and where do you want to take your business this year? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jenn DenHartog, founder of Premier Vision Clinic in Clive, IA to ask her tips for success in growing a dry eye and aesthetics practice. Key Takeaways:Own your role in medical optometry. Most patient cases don't need a referral out to ophthalmology until surgical intervention.Medical v. Vision doesn't have to be all or nothing - give the vision exam patient a nugget of their medical diagnoses and treatment options and then bring them back for their medical follow up visit.You can never put processes and systems in place too early. Even if it doesn't feel like it's needed, there will come a time when you needed those systems in place.Beginning with the dry eye conversation addresses the most significant issue the patient is facing. Highlighting the additional impacts certain treatments like IPL, RF, LLLT, etc. have additional benefits that the patient may also experience. This opens the door for the patient to experience them and wanting to continue the treatments for cosmetic reasons.Celebrate wins with your patients and with your team. Only the patient gets to determine what their wins are. What Dr. DenHartog is reading: Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce MeyerPractice Advantage Reading List**Don't miss out on an extra $15 rebate for all commercial VSP Eye Exams throughout all of 2026!

Most practice owners treat finances like a fire drill: frantic at year-end, reactive at tax time, and surprised when cash flow hiccups wreck payroll. What if money management wasn't a crisis to survive, but a repeatable system you lead on purpose? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club, host Nathan Shields sits down with financial strategist Eric Miller (Econologics) and bookkeeping & vCFO expert Sean Healy (AccountedFor). Together they deliver an operational playbook for wrapping up 2025, protecting cash flow in Q1, and building the disciplined systems that let owners actually plan for retirement — not just keep the lights on. They dig into:Why proactive tax planning beats last-minute spending sprees (and how to actually execute it with your CPA)The three financial skills every owner needs: acquire it, control it, invest it — and how to institutionalize them in your practicePractical year-end moves that protect cash flow (retirement catch-ups, HSA contributions, beneficiary checks, and smarter equipment buys)How to build a financial team that works together — CPA, bookkeeper, and advisor aligned to your goals (and when it's time to fire an advisor who isn't)Forecasting and proforma basics: reverse-engineer the profit you need to reach your personal goals, then map the operational steps to get thereCash-first tactics for Q1 (expect a tight January — plan the line of credit, manage payroll cadence, and pre-talk client deductibles)Money discipline that scales: automated savings buckets, routine scorecards, and the operational cadence that produces real wealth If you've ever been blindsided by tax bills, drifted through another year without a cash plan, or felt like your practice owns you — this episode gives you the financial clarity and tactical next steps to run your business like an asset, not an anxiety.

What if private practice wasn't about escaping burnout — but about creating stability, flexibility, and breathing room in an increasingly unpredictable world?This year, many clinicians felt the pressure. Workloads increased while pay stayed the same. Financial uncertainty lingered. And more people began asking a hard but honest question: Is this sustainable for the next one, two, or five years? If you've been wondering that too, you're not imagining it. The system is shifting. And what I've seen firsthand from hundreds of practice owners in 2025 tells me something important: private practice is becoming a mainstream strategy for creating stability, flexibility, and breathing room in a world that feels increasingly unpredictable.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Five major shifts I've seen in private practice in 2025What they actually mean for youHow you can think about your next stepThis episode is a reminder that private practice doesn't require burning down your life or a dramatic leap. You don't need everything figured out.

Send us a textHIPAA compliance can feel like a moving target for private practice owners—but most violations don't come from “bad intent.” They come from gaps in training, inconsistent workflows, and unsecured handling of Protected Health Information (PHI). Brandon breaks down the most common HIPAA pitfalls seen across clinics—what creates real risk, what regulators look for (including the “gross negligence” standard), and how to build repeatable safeguards that reduce exposure without paralyzing your team.You'll get a practical, systems-first walkthrough of HIPAA basics that actually cause breaches: unsecured devices and stored passwords, weak access controls (shared logins, poor password hygiene, missing role-based access), improper disposal of records, missing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), outdated policies, and unencrypted transmission (email, file transfers, and especially texting). Brandon clarifies key definitions—PHI at rest vs. PHI in transit, what de-identification does (and does not) cover, and why encryption has become the de facto standard for minimizing breach impact and protecting patient trust. Note: This content is educational and not legal advice. Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

If the idea of delegating in your practice immediately brings up fear about HIPAA, confidentiality, or losing control, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down exactly what you can delegate right now (and what you shouldn't) so you can protect your license while still getting critical tasks off your plate.I walk through real-world examples of delegation, from marketing tasks and intake calls to inbox management and follow-ups, and I clear up a lot of the myths therapists carry around about HIPAA. I explain how HIPAA actually works in practice, why delegating the wrong things first can waste time and money, and how proper training—not avoidance—is what keeps your practice safe as you grow.If your practice feels like you're “building the plane while flying it,” or you know an uptick in clients is coming and your systems aren't ready yet, this episode will help you get grounded and move forward with confidence instead of fear.In this episode, you'll learn:What I recommend delegating first in a therapy practice, like intake calls, follow-ups, basic marketing workflows, and inbox management, without violating HIPAAHow I think about training and onboarding VAs, including HIPAA education, clear boundaries, and realistic expectationsWhy I stopped using long written SOPs and switched to short screen-recorded workflows, and how that reduced mistakesHow to tell the difference between tasks that actually move you toward revenue and ones that just keep you busyIf you're ready to stop doing everything yourself and start building systems that support your growth, this episode gives you a practical, HIPAA-aware place to start.If you're ready to lead with confidence, join the 2026 Supervisor Course waitlist for early access to bonus tools, templates, and fast-track grading.

Hello everyone -It's the week of Christmas, the world is slowing down, and, like many of you, I've been settling down into my own year-end pause. (You ARE doing that, right? Or will be soon?)In honor of that pause, I wanted to do something a little different on the podcast. So I'm reflecting in this episode not on what I did this year, but what I learned — especially from the courageous, thoughtful clients I've had the deep honor of serving this year.Their stories shape me in ways big and small, and I'd like to share a few of those with you.In this episode, you'll hear…How courage, self-respect, and claiming space showed up everywhere this year.The challenge so many high-achievers face by showing up for everyone but themselves (and how things change when they shift that dynamic).Three powerful client stories that sparked my own growth, and how I am inspired by each.Why alignment matters more than approval or output.

I am so excited for today's episode because we're diving into one of the most transformative tools in private practice right now: AI. And joining me is someone who has been living at the intersection of mental health, creativity, and digital marketing for nearly two decades—Greg Goodman of Goodman Creatives. Greg isn't a therapist, but his story is rooted deeply in the world of mental health. Inspired by his father's work as a clinician, he built a career helping therapists share their voice, grow their practices, and create meaningful impact through smart, authentic marketing. Today, he runs an international creative agency that exists to support helpers—and now he's leaning all the way into how AI can make marketing more accessible than ever. In our conversation, Greg and I talk about the real, practical ways therapists can use AI to save time, generate powerful copy, create content with confidence, and stand out in a growing field. We also explore the ethical concerns around AI, the importance of keeping our humanity in the process, and how to train AI to actually sound like you. If you've been curious—or even hesitant—about how AI fits into your private practice, this episode is going to open your eyes to what's possible. Greg brings a blend of heart, tech wisdom, and decades of industry experience, and I can't wait for you to learn from him.

I share the hard lessons I learned from scaling too early, how a CEO mindset shifted everything, and why clarity, systems, and product-market fit matter more than growth for growth's sake. If you've ever felt stuck, afraid to rock the boat, or unsure what actually sets your practice apart, this episode will help you think differently about growth heading into the new year.

In this episode, Brian breaks down the real math behind building a profitable, scalable physical therapy private practice — not theory, not spreadsheets, but the numbers every owner should actually understand and control.

This episode covers how to stop guessing, start interpreting your numbers, and use math as a tool to create stability, growth, and long-term success.

Have you ever wondered if your love for music and voice could turn into a thriving private practice? Today's guest shows us it's possible—and how to do it while keeping flexibility and control over your life.Joining me is Rachel Goldenberg, a speech-language pathologist, clinical voice specialist, and singing teacher based in Montclair, New Jersey. Rachel's private practice, My Inspired Voice, combines her passion for singing with her expertise in voice therapy, helping clients with everything from vocal health to respiratory challenges.In this episode, Rachel shares her journey from opera-obsessed child to clinical voice expert, how she built a private practice that fits her family and lifestyle, and her tips for anyone ready to take the leap into private practice.Rachel's love for music started early. She began piano lessons at 7 and memorized operas like Carmen and Tosca by age 12, performing them dramatically in her living room. She went on to study at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where she fell in love with the science of the voice, learning from pioneers in vocal pedagogy.Her career took her through teaching, research on singing and respiratory health, and work with clients with lung disease in Canada. Along the way, she realized that to help clients fully, she needed to expand her skills, which led her to pursue speech-language pathology. Now, her dissertation focused on the use of singing lessons as an adjunctive airway clearance technique for adult cystic fibrosis patients.Through all these experiences, Rachel's passion for voice never wavered—but she also learned the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and following the right opportunities when they appear.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How her passion for singing led her into voice therapyWhat it was like to return to grad school during COVIDHow she built her private practice and referral networkWhy flexibility has been essential for her familyWith her practice, Rachel has full control over her schedule, enabling her to see clients during traditional hours, early mornings, or late evenings, while still making time for her children and other priorities. Her story is a perfect example of how passion, expertise, and a willingness to take the leap can create a private practice that's both fulfilling and flexible. Whether you're interested in voice, pediatrics, or another specialty, her journey shows that with the right mindset, mentorship, and action, you can build a practice that fits your life and allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.Ready to take control of your career and start your own private practice—just like Rachel did?

Send us a textThis episode breaks down how to determine whether your private practice is truly ready for growth by focusing on sustainable, data-driven decision making. Brandon explains that rapid expansion can erode profitability if your payer mix, margins, staffing, or infrastructure can't support it, and that organic growth often outperforms rushed acquisitions. He outlines how to assess market demand, analyze KPIs, review financials, understand your patient census, evaluate risk, and decide whether “the juice is worth the squeeze” before pursuing new locations, services, or investments. The message is simple: know your numbers, know your capacity, and grow only when the growth will actually make you more profitable.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!
