For The Therapists Who Are Burnt Out Working for Other People And Are Ready To Go Out On Their Own.

Learn Everything You Need To Create A Sustainable Solo Practice That You LOVE

Ready to finally go out on your own and create a sustainable solo practice?

Imagine feeling empowered, passionate, and accomplished as you step out and create your own practice. With your own rules.

Are you a dedicated to therapist who has been feeling drained, overwhelmed, and on the edge of burnout working for someone else? Have you thought about opening up your own practice so you can do it your way, but the worries around leaving something consistent for something new keep you from moving forward?

What if I told you whether you wanted to build a side solo practice or go out completely on your own, there is a way to build a sustainable (+ enjoyable) solo practice while minimizing the burnout. Your clients deserve a clear and present therapist. And you deserve a practice that supports you and has sustainable growth.

It isn't enough for you to love what you do. A profitable (+ sustainable) solo practice requires systems and boundaries. It also requires strategic decisions such as location of your practice, knowing who you want to serve, a clear business model, and solid boundaries.

In a field that is full of heart led therapists, it's easy to put the client first, which is a fast track to burnout. This impacts you, your client, and your profit.

A successful solo practice is a balance of compassion and systems.

As a therapist, you are taught how to provide treatment- not thrive as an entrepreneur. That changes now.

Hi, I'm Karen!

Karen Galway is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Infant Feeding Therapist, Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM), Wife, and Mother of Two.

  Karen brings over 20 years of experience as a speech therapist, most of it in private practice. For 12 of those years, she has owned two solo practices. After successfully running her first practice for 10 years, she launched a new practice nearly a year ago, navigating two very different business models along the way.

Karen closed the doors to her decade long business in June of 2024 prior to an out of state move. With the stress and burn out that comes with being a therapist and running a private practice, she welcomed a nearly year long sabbatical without any intention of returning to the field.

But in January of 2025, she began entertaining the idea of returning in a way that would feel sustainable.

She opened up her new practice in May of 2025. Within the first 8 months, her practice grew 450%. Everything about this next iteration has been very intentional to minimize burnout.

You can create a solo practice that is profitable and enjoyable and this guide is the first step to getting there.
