empowering therapists to travel the world
Are you tired of choosing between exploring the world and building a successful therapy practice?
Maybe you can’t stop dreaming about your next trip and feel like traveling once or twice a year just isn’t cutting it. Or maybe you have always dreamed about moving to Europe but don’t want to have to start your career all over again.
All you know, is that you are tired of sacrificing your dreams to be a good private practice therapist. You dream of something more. You can’t get rid of the feeling that maybe your pleasure and wellbeing matters to. But you love your patients and couldn’t imagine giving up your passion helping people heal.
You see other people have the freedom to travel and work remotely but you don’t believe you have that same freedom as a licensed therapist working with patients in the United States.
Well I am here to tell you, that it is possible to have freedom to travel AND see your US based patients from abroad.
step into the world of traveling mental health therapists
Imagine a day spent doing what you love—connecting with the patients you care about through virtual sessions—then, as your workday ends, you head to a pristine beach with turquoise waters, enjoying a fresh coconut while watching a stunning sunset. On the weekend, you take a quick island tour, swimming with sea turtles and basking in the sun, fully embracing the adventure of your new lifestyle.
Business coaching with me may be a good fit for you if you:
Want to travel the world while maintaining your U.S.-based private practice and serving the clients you love remotely.
Enrich your life and career by experiencing new cultures and broadening your perspective.
Break free from the traditional mold and create a practice that reflects your unique life.
Prevent burnout by embracing a lifestyle that balances work and adventure, allowing you to move beyond the belief that your sole purpose is to always be in "healing mode."
Ready to create the freedom and balance you deserve? Let’s work together to design a thriving therapy practice that supports both your career and your adventurous lifestyle..
make private practice sustainable for you
The typical therapist training programs encourage you to be good. Be a good student. Be a good supervisee. Be a good therapist. Be a good rule follower. While there is reasoning to schools and training programs having expectations and rules to follow, it can trick you into thinking that this is the way you have to be forever. Education is about learning the foundation but it isn’t about never thinking for yourself. Otherwise there would be one model and one way of thinking about therapy. Which is just not true.
While I am not a proponent for someone to go rouge and abandon all reason and therapist norms, I do think that it can limit us from discovering and creating our own path. Life after grad school is LONG. And if we always base our decisions off of what others think, I believe we are setting ourselves up for resentment and burnout.
At some point, you have to develop your own path that works for you and your patients. This isn’t always the path your supervisors and teachers took.
If you are someone who tends to be an anxious rule follower and people pleaser, following your own path can be absolutely terrifying. But with the right support, it doesn’t have to be.
embrace the whispers of your soul
I always wanted to be a good therapist and dedicated so many years of my life to becoming one. But once school ended and I gained freedom from starting my private practice, I realized that I wanted so much more than to be good helping people heal. There was so much more to me and to my life than work. I had so many other dreams for myself. One of those dreams was to travel the world without sacrificing the career and business I worked hard for.
Hi, I’m Dr. Annie and I offer business coaching for therapists who are ready to build a business that helps them pursue their desire of traveling around the world.
how coaching can help
-
I can help you think through what kind of life you want to create. Do you want to do more frequent traveling? Do you want to travel in just the US? What is your personality and how might that impact your travel style? I can help you think through these questions and more.
-
It can be easy to give into limiting mindsets that tell you that you aren’t capable to build a business that you desire. That you have to play it safe. You can’t upset others or do things differently. Let me help you untangle these mindsets so that you can start to make more aligned and authentic decisions!
-
So you figured out what you want and now you are left with making your vision come to life. There is so much that goes into the process of setting up your business and life for travel. I am here to help you come up with a game and action plan. Figuring out the changes you need to make to your practice, your life, and even talk through communicating these changes to your clients.
Some of these changes that I can provide support with:
Creating new marketing strategies to support your remote practice
Determining how and when to tell patients about your changes
Developing business systems that you can use outside of the states
Sorting through and managing clinical, business, and personal changes that you need to make as you prepare to depart
I am also here to support you as you freak out when things get real!
-
Change. Change. And more change! Change is inherent in travel. I am here to help you navigate all the things. When it is your life, it can be hard to think about all the things that can go into decisions. Maybe you aren’t sure if the feeling of homesickness means it’s time to end this life style. Or maybe you fell head over heels with a place and are thinking about more permanently living there.
As an outsider looking in, I can lend you my mind to think through decisions.
other support options
-
While I have a wealth of knowledge around becoming a traveling therapist, I also have experience building a successful private practice.
I can help you make changes to your business that support you and your patients. These changes might include increasing your fee, changing your cancellation policy, determine your clinical schedule, and invest in marketing strategies that align with your energy and personality.
If there is something I can’t help you with, I can always help you figure out what kind of support you are needing.
-
Our work is inherently relational and it is so normal for our patients to have reactions to the changes we are making.
Throughout my journey, I have sought out supervision and consultations around difficult decisions and clinical situations. I am here to share my knowledge and wisdom to help you navigate clinical challenges that might arise as you go about this process.
I also have extensive training and supervision in psychoanalytic and relational therapy. I can provide consultations around general relational dynamics you might be struggling with in your work with patients.

I get that everyone isn’t in a place to financially invest in coaching or consultations. Some free resources I offer are:

an investment in your business and yourself
Getting support in your business can help you go so much further than if you gave into the idea you had to figure it out all alone. Just like your patients need support from you heal and grow, you and your business are the same. One of my favorite business coaches, Dannielle Swimm, once said “Business coaching is like therapy for your business” and I couldn’t agree more!
When you choose me as your business coach, you are getting someone who has invested in my own growth and will be just as invested in yours. I’ve established thoughtful fees designed to cultivate an environment where I can bring my full energy, attention, and expertise to each coaching session, dedicated solely to your growth.

step 01
Reach out
The first step is deciding you are worth getting support around making these changes. It is so easy to second guess yourself and give into self-doubt. If you are someone who has had a hard time making these types of changes alone, or are feeling that need for help - reaching out is an important first step!
step 02
Scheduling a Session
If you're ready to book a coaching session, we'll find a time that works for you! If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them via email or schedule a quick 10-minute phone consultation. I offer both single sessions and a package of four. Many people find it helpful to start with one session and then decide if they’d like additional support—if so, the 4-session package is a great option!
step 03
coaching begins
Before our first session, I will have you complete a survey that will better help us utilize our time. It will cover the practical details of your practice, life and the parts you feel most overwhelmed about changing. It will also get into mindset blocks you might be getting in the way of making changes. We then will meet for 60 minutes to dive into figuring out what you need to take steps forward.
to live wild and free
Make 2026 the year you go towards what excites you, rather than merely avoiding what scares you. Life can be so much more expansive than you have let yourself believe. Let’s work together to build a business that awakens your childlike wonder and joy.
