Called to Travel: Create a Mobile Practice with Kym Tolson, LCSW | WP 134
Manage episode 483874882 series 3559787
In this episode of the Wise Practice Podcast, I’m joined by Kym, a true pioneer in the world of traveling therapists. She’s the real deal—honest, experienced, and incredibly generous with her wisdom. Kym opens up about what it actually takes to live abroad while running a successful online therapy practice. From navigating licensing laws and liability insurance to choosing the right zip code for attracting private-pay clients and dealing with EHR limitations overseas, she doesn’t sugarcoat a thing.
She’s made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now she’s helping other therapists do it smarter, especially through her active Facebook community where people show up daily with questions like, “How do I move to Albania?” or “Can I bill insurance if I’m outside the U.S.?”
Whether you’re dreaming of running your practice from the beach or just want more freedom from the four walls of a traditional office, this episode is full of real talk and actionable insight. Kym proves that with the right planning, support, and mindset, you can take your practice beyond borders—without losing your mind or your license.
