In this episode of the Empower LEP Podcast, host Jana Parker sits down with Dr. James Bylund, an LEP and licensed clinical psychologist who’s making waves in the East Bay area with his thriving practice, The Bylund Clinic. With multiple offices and a growing team, Dr. Bylund’s clinic focuses primarily on Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs), offering comprehensive support to students and their families.

Dr. Bylund’s journey is a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to helping others. Starting out by gaining hours in schools, he quickly transitioned into building a private practice and a successful non-public agency (NPA). His clinic now serves a broad range of clients, and he’s currently in the process of expanding his team by hiring more LEPs.
The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including the challenges of balancing a growing business with a young family and how Dr. Bylund has managed to maintain his passion for clinical work while also embracing the demands of running a business. He shares how his practice has expanded from a one-man operation into a multi-site clinic with a diverse team of professionals, including therapists and executive skills coaches, all dedicated to providing the highest quality of care.

Dr. Bylund also talks about the importance of building a strong network with allied professionals, both within and beyond his immediate area, and how these connections have been instrumental in the growth of his clinic. He offers insights into the realities of entrepreneurship in the LEP field, from the importance of thinking like a businessperson to the value of investing in resources that allow you to focus on what you do best.

For those interested in starting or growing their own practice, Dr. Bylund’s story provides a wealth of practical advice and inspiration. He reflects on the lessons he’s learned along the way, including the challenges of managing multiple roles and the importance of building a brand that can stand on its own.
