She Told Her Dad She’d Never Start a Private Practice – Now She Has a Successful Clinic and Growing Team with Sarah Landry

What if you could build a private practice that fits your family’s needs, gives you the flexibility you crave, and allows you to grow a team of passionate clinicians? Today’s guest is doing exactly that, and I can’t wait for you to hear her journey!

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Sarah Landry, a speech-language pathologist with 22 years of experience and the founder and owner of Talk Blossom, a speech therapy practice serving families across the Treasure Valley in Meridian, Idaho.

In this episode, Sarah shares how she went from saying “never” and doubting herself to confidently leading a growing practice, driven by a desire to serve the whole family, not just the child in front of her.

Sarah’s therapeutic approach centers on family-centered therapy and a parent coaching model, built on the belief that lasting progress happens when parents are involved in the therapeutic process. Talk Blossom offers speech, language, and feeding therapy for pediatric clients of all ages, with sessions designed to be both effective and engaging for kids.

Today, Sarah leads a team of five speech-language pathologists, fostering a collaborative culture where clinicians work together to support families and each other. Her work has earned her recognition as one of Idaho’s Best in Specialty Medicine, and she’s also an active advocate for the field, having recently spoken at her state capitol in support of Medicaid coverage for speech services.

Outside of patient care, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and supporting her team.

In Today’s Episode, We Discuss:

• How a move out of state gave her the reset she needed to finally take the leap
• The power of starting with just one private-pay client and growing from there
• What it really looks like to transition from solo provider to employer
• Why letting go of control and trusting your team is the secret to getting your freedom back

Sarah is truly living proof that you don’t have to have a master plan from day one. Her journey started with a simple desire for more freedom after her son was born, and it grew step-by-step into something far bigger than she ever imagined. That philosophy serving the whole family continues to shape everything about Talk Blossom today.

She says it best herself: “You’re more capable than you think you are.”

Whether you’re a new clinician dreaming of private practice or an established owner looking to expand, Sarah’s story shows that taking that first step even when it’s scary is the most important thing you can do.
