You want to travel more but have no clue how to set your business up for this kind of lifestyle.

Maybe you get jealous and feel like your career choice as a therapist limits your ability to have this kind of freedom to work and travel.
Or maybe you have heard about other therapists traveling and running their private practices at the same time but have no clue how they got there. You are anxious and uncertain about how you could navigate all the practical and emotional barriers to become a traveling mental health therapist.

How to become a digital nomad therapist

Figuring out where you are now is an important part in developing a private practice that supports your dreams. Are you still in school? Do you have an insurance based practice? Are you at an agency but want to go out on your own? Do you know if you want to travel internationally or within your home country? Do you want to travel full time or have a home base that you work from? As a traveling mental health therapist, you have a lot of options. It’s all about figuring out what would work best for you!
BUT sometimes it’s hard to know all of the things to consider. That is where I come in. As someone who has been a travel mental health therapist, I can help you think through important factors that will determine how you want this life to look!

You want to be thoughtful about this kind of change. Going from an in-person therapist to a traveling mental health therapist can include a lot of changes that you might not even be thinking of!
Depending on where you are in your private practice journey, the steps you take will look very different. This part may be research heavy. Can you see your insurance patients overseas? Does your licensing board allow you to be out of the state? Even figuring out practical details like how you will receive mail is an important thing to figure out. Figuring out the steps you need to take and figuring out a timeline can help alleviate anxiety!
I want to help you get organized and sort through all of the things! You can feel confident and secure with the right support! I can be your second brain as you navigate as you step into your travel mental health therapist lifestyle.

Once you figure out your starting point and develop a game plan, its time to start making moves! This might be telling your patients you will be switching to a virtual practice, moving your things to your parents or to a storage unit, or maybe selling your car! Or maybe its time to tell your family and friends. This part can be a lot and you will probably have all the feels! It’s normal for you and those in your life (patients, family and friends included!) to have a variety of reactions in this stage. You might begin to doubt the process but its important to remember the reason you started making these big changes!
As you start the process of becoming a travel mental health therapist, there can be hiccups along the way. I can help you navigate all the challenges!

You finally did it. All of the hard work and you have started! While dreams do come true, there is still a lot that can come up while living your best life. Any path we take can come with its challenges, and being a nomad is no exceptions. Change is so inherent as a traveling mental health therapist. Even if one day you choose to not be nomad and resettle in your home country or a new country - there is still a lot that can come along with that!
Being a travel mental health therapist is life giving but there also hard points to this life. With the right support you can navigate these challenges.
I can help support you in any phase of this process of becoming a travel mental health therapist.
There is so much that goes on in this process.You don’t have to navigate this alone. Get support from a business owner and a traveling psychologist who has been there before.
