3 Lies School Clinicians Believe About Private Practice (That Keep Them Stuck) with Jena Castro-Casbon

What if the reasons you’re not starting a private practice aren’t reasons at all—they’re lies?

On today’s episode of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, I’m tackling the misconceptions that keep school-based clinicians stuck for years. If you’re working in a school right now—if you’ve been thinking about private practice but haven’t taken action—this episode will change how you see your path forward.

I’m naming the three biggest lies that school clinicians believe about private practice. Not myths. Not misconceptions. Lies. They sound true. They feel true. And they are the only thing standing between you and the practice you could be building right now.

In Today’s Episode, We Discuss:

• Why “I need more experience” is keeping you from starting (and what you actually need instead)
• The truth about financial risk and why waiting is actually the most expensive decision you’re making
• How to find the time when you feel like you have none (hint: you need less than you think)

Starting small with a few clients, virtual sessions, or weekend hours isn’t a compromise—it’s a brilliant strategy. It creates financial breathing room, professional confidence, and a clear path forward on your terms.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to explore private practice without pressure, this is it.
