ABOUT

hey there, friend!

I'm Jill,

SLP, Private practice owner, and business coach

I've been an SLP since 2011 and provided speech-language therapy services through my private practice, Jill Shook Therapy, since 2015.

In 2017, I decided that I was tired of having to reinvent the wheel whenever I had a question about my practice, because I couldn’t afford to spend thousands (or even hundreds) of dollars on a course, and nothing I found seemed to have all of the information I needed listed out in steps.

I sat down to write out a “quick checklist” for other SLPs… and 10 months later had created my own 4-hour course that I called "Private Practice Prep School". I posted it to Teachable. Word of mouth spread, and by the time I closed the doors in 2019, hundreds of SLPs had benefited from it.

I re-recorded the course as Private Practice Foundations and launched it for Northern Speech Services in 2019, so it could reach as many SLPs as possible. After 5 years on NSS, I decided that I wanted creative control over my course and the ability to update it when and however I wanted to, so I re-re-recorded and re-re-relaunched it as Private Practice Essentials, the course you see now. 

​I still see private speech therapy clients part time in addition to consulting and presenting, because I love using my clinical skills as well as my business skills on a daily basis.
