I’m Stephanie Telibasa, owner of House of Physical Therapy in NYC, a boutique practice focusing on people who use exercise as their stress relief.

I’ve worked every position in a PT office starting out in the basement combing through charts for my own PT as a kid. I was able to open my practice 2 years out of school because I expedited my clinical experience working more than one full time job at the same time. I was given the clinic director title at a multidisciplinary practice, offered a partnership office which I grew to 30 visits per week in 90 days, and also worked per diem as a home health therapist on the weekends to save money.

Like most of you here, I have high standards for the definition of quality care and quality work environment. That’s why when I friends started to lose their jobs in 2020, I invested in creating a coaching program. I dedicated over a year of time and money to turn my 17 years of experience and research into a step by step course. The format is unique to anything I’ve seen in the PT business coaching space: recorded lessons, weekly 1:1 implementation sessions, and group workshops with like-minded owners.

I’ve had the opportunity to help practice owners at every level - in 10 different states as of writing this! - create systems to grow their practices the efficient way; without paid ads, free workshops, or working weekends.

This website is a collection of answers I wish I could easily find when I was building my practice in 2017. My hope is that you use my startup stories to learn from the mistakes, prepare for the roadblocks, and achieve your picture of career success even faster.

• If you find value in what you read, share it with another PT.

• If you find value in 1:1 support, book a free strategy session with me.

• If you find value in community, join the Evolved Owners community.

My goal is to bring together physical therapists who want an efficient framework to grow their 1:1 practices so that they can support their families without sacrificing quality care or working long hours.

Success by my definition is having complete autonomy - control over time, money, and location. I’ll go first and share what’s ahead…
