Starting Early in Private Practice with Breeah Carey

Private Practice Success Stories

Have you been thinking about starting a private practice early in your career? If so, this episode is for you!

In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Breeah Carey, a speech language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in New Jersey.

She started her private practice at just 26 years old after getting the inspiration from other young private practitioners who had the flexibility and freedom she was striving for. After feeling stuck in a negative work environment, she decided to start her own practice.

In this episode, Breeah and I discuss a major shift with the younger generation who is simply not willing to wait for the freedom, flexibility, and income they desire.

Breeah S. Carey, M.S., CCC-SLP is a New Jersey native and the Director of B.E.S. As the daughter of an educator, Breeah was always interested in serving her community, similar to her mother.

Breeah graduated from Purdue University and received her undergraduate degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, with minors in psychology and Spanish. As her passion grew, specifically around assisting individuals with speech, language, and cognitive impairments, she decided to further her education.

She completed two years of comprehensive training in Purdue's Master of Science Speech-Language Pathology program; thus, receiving her master’s degree at the end of her studies. Her areas of focus include pediatric language disorders, speech sound disorders, and bilingualism.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The truth about what it takes to be successful as a private practice owner
• Breeah’s non-traditional path to private practice
• The populations you can serve as a private practice owner
• Breeah’s secret sauce to getting referrals to her private practice
• Why so many SLPs and OTs are successful in private practice
• The key to pricing your services and sustaining a private practice
• The impact freedom has had on Breeah’s life now that she’s a private practice owner
• How to know if starting a private practice is really for you

I hope you enjoyed this episode with Breeah! I love her advice to other young clinicians and why she thinks the younger generation is choosing private practice!
