Building an Adult-Focused Private Practice with Small Kids at Home: Heather McCurdy's Journey

Private Practice Success Stories

If you've been thinking about private clients and either have a passion for working with adults or have kids you want to be home for, this episode is for you!

Today I’m talking with Heather McCurdy, mom to triplets and owner of an adult-focused private practice, Mindful Speech Therapy, in Valparaiso, Indiana.

After hearing about it from a friend, Heather used the Start Your Private Practice Program to create a practice that aligns with her values and lifestyle.

In this episode, Heather shares how her private practice journey gave her the freedom to continue working with adult clients and stay at home to raise her triplets.

Heather McCurdy is an adult-focused private practice owner and serves patients in-person and virtually in the state of Indiana. Heather loves treating patients with post-traumatic brain injury (including athletes post-concussion) and dementia. When Heather's not working, she enjoys spending time with her three kiddos.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• What happened when Heather realized her job wasn’t fulfilling anymore
• How she gets referrals in a way that avoids being pushy and dealing with competition
• Heather’s balanced approach to managing her private practice and family life
• How private practice allows her to be a better parent to her kids
• The different payer sources that allow Heather to see a variety of clients
• What other opportunities she’s considering thanks to the flexibility of private practice

If you want to pursue adult-focused SLP, you will love Heather’s story! Private practice not only made Heather her own boss but allowed her to stay in her zone of genius.
