ABOUT JENA

Jena Castro-Casbon, MS CCC-SLP is a private practice consultant, mentor, author, speaker and founder of the Independent Clinician, an online education company that specializes in helping SLPs and OTs start, grow, and scale successful private practices.


Team Independent Clinician is on a mission to help at least a thousand SLPs and OTs start private practices each year because more practices means more services for the children and adults who need them.


She is the creator of the Start Your Private Practice, Grow Your Private Practice, and Scale Your Private Practice programs, which offer step-by-step information and processes and ongoing support from a team of mentors. When Jena was first getting started, there were no online education programs specifically for SLP and OTs going into private practice, so she created the programs she wished she had.


Jena has been invited to speak at local and national ASHA conferences; she’s spoken on the topics of starting and growing private practices, marketing, and entrepreneurship.


You can hear Jena every week as the host of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, and you can hang out with her on all social media platforms.


Jena lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her wife, Sarah, and their two sons, Hayes and Holden.
