Taking Control of Her Life & Circumstances: Tia’s Story

Tia Javier is a private practitioner and one of only 91 Spanish speaking speech-language pathologists in the state of Virginia. She is actually someone who I first came across when she joined the Start Your Private Practice program. Tia saw a huge need in the market for a bilingual private practice. In this episode, she shares how her student loans motivated her to make this decision, what a typical day in her practice looks like and her plans for the future. I really like Tia’s attitude and how she doesn’t look at obstacles as a set-back but instead figures out a way to overcome them. 

What we discuss: 

• How Tia got into private practice
• What she did to put her plan of starting a private practice into motion
• What her day to day life looks like within her practice
• Her advice for SLPs who want to open a private practice
