Program Founder
Jena H. Castro-Casbon, MS CCC-SLP
creator of private practice school
Jena started her private practice “on the side” of her job when she was 26 years old because she had early career burnout. Friends kept asking her how she did it, so she created her company, The Independent Clinician to teach SLPs and OTs how to build their own lifestyle and traditional private practices.
Now she’s helped over 10,000 clinicians build successful and sustainable private practices through her programs available through Private Practice School. Jena is the author of The Path to Private Practice and host of The Private Practice Success Stories Podcast.
She lives outside of Boston, MA with her wife and two sons.
