Ep 25 | Erin Crawford | Licensed Educational Psychologist | Empower LEP Podcast

Welcome back to the Empower LEP Podcast! This week, host Jana Parker sits down with Erin Crawford, who recently made the leap from working in schools to starting her own private practice in Marin County, EmpowerEd Psychological Services. Like many of our episodes, this one is a must-listen for anyone considering the move from working for the school districts to opening their own business as an LEP.
Tune in as Erin discusses the “why” behind her decision to work as an independent LEP through her small business. She shares her passion for helping families understand and navigate the school system without the red tape we encounter as district employees. As Erin found in her career, addressing the gaps in the information available about assessments and having the flexibility to help in meaningful ways is the driving force behind many LEPs' decisions to open a private practice.
Erin’s practice is growing, and she shares what niche she focuses on, how she finds clients, networking advice, and her plans for the future. She opens up about her fears and uncertainties, the decision-making process, and why, despite the challenges, it was all worth it. You'll learn why stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to incredible personal growth and fulfillment and why so many who have made this change feel it's one of the best decisions they've ever made.
Whether you're thinking about making a similar move or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical advice. Tune in to hear a success story that might just give you the nudge you need to take your own leap!
