A Day in the Life of a Traveling Psychologist

[@michaelaquinn1807]

This all sounds so beautiful. It seems like you take very important care in your life and for yourself to live life to the fullest. How did you get on the pathway to become this type of psychologist? I have yet to start college and it's something that I am so interested in! What sort of things did you study to be able to afford travel and get where you are in life? The steps you took! That information would be amazing .

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Hi Michaela, I have a video I did on that exact question! You can learn more about my path here: Why I Quit My Job And Started Travelling The World kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKG9hX-JnN2ofdE wishing you the best on your journey and lmk if you have any other specific questions!

You are living my dream life and you just inspired me to keep striving for it! Thank you 🙂

[@sheshewitchywellnez]

Love it ❤ Peace and Blessings

Im a therapist. How do you find clients and do you continue to work with insurance companies? I understand the laws that we'r can provide therapy from nations that do not require national licensure

[@evelynolivo1180]

I have this same question.

Thank you for this really informative and inspiring video. I’ve been dreaming of doing this for so long and I might be able to start this summer. I lived in Lisbon last year for a couple of months and loved the nomad lifestyle. I am almost done my MA in clinical counselling and will be a registered psychotherapist in my province by June. I love how you structured your week and hope to do something similar 😊

[@77whiteisland86]

This is what I want!❤❤❤ thank you for making this inspiring video!

[@sarabratzbradford]

new subscriber here! Loved this video and how you organize your weeks! Thank you for changing my perspective on Psychology, Therese. You confirmed that we can be both a Psychologist and a traveler at the same time 🤎

[@kellyblakely5955]

What an inspiration! I really appreciate learning about your lifestyle. I envision my future where I ideally would love to explore/travel by day and work at night. Your schedule sounds both rewarding and busy, just the way I could enjoy too! Just need to find the right type of work that would accommodate. :) Thanks for the gentle reminder to exercise like walking and be present / avoid distractions like phone where work or in-person socialization deserves full attention. I definitely want to find a better work-to-home lifestyle balance that’s mentally and holistically healthier. Living and working on your terms sounds like a great balance. I didn’t know there is a co-working space community! Any tips where to find great co-working spaces locally?

[@DrThereseMascardo]

I look forward to hearing more about you finding the right work for you to also travel as much as you want! For co-working, I think the Croissant app is great to try out different spots!

[@inculcatetobemaudlin2943]

You are so organize, really enjoy your time to get more information from you Dr. Mascardo

Hi Dr. Therese, thank you so much for this video, it's incredibly inspiring. You are, metaphorically, at the top of the mountain that I'm just starting to trek up and it's so exciting to see you living this life that's pretty similar to what I envision for myself. I love the balance you have between being home and grounded, but also exploring the world. I'm wondering if you could make a video about the logistics of what you do... did you find it difficult to set up your private practice? Do you find that it's easy to work with clients who are in a different country than you? Were there any legal hurdles you had to jump to make this happen? Thank you!

[@joannamadsen5160]

Love this ❤ really inspiring as a therapist

[@reneerogers3663]

Very inspiring. Do you accept insurance or private pay or both? How much time do you spend in Portugal and do you pay taxes there as well as the US?

[@gabijakuseliauskyte3422]

Would you be able to do a video around how you were able to get a remote job and what are the legal issues around that like tax? Im currently getting qualified but Would like to live in a different country.

[@koalabanditera]

Thank you for sharing how you manage being a remote psychologist. As a fellow psychologist, the idea of being able to practice remoteky and travel is really appealing! Given the time difference, how do you manage risk while living in Lisbon? Did you have to join PsyPact to be able to work internationally/remotely? Or does California licensure permit practicing abroad as long as your clients are in the state of California?

[@kimcarrots]

Amazing video! AND your nails are FIERCE!!

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Omg thank you!!!!

[@ThePassportPapi]

I'm looking for this exact lifestyle. What is your outlook on the future of remote work in therapy? I already have my BA in psych, I'm looking at doing a masters in mental health counseling to be a therapist

[@katelynlindsey4353]

I'm Interested!

[@harleymay966]

Hi I’m curious how you go with finding rentals in both places - do you own your own place in LA / Lisbon, both? Thank you 😊

[@MrCoolangel9927]

Great video!!

[@PrivatePracticeSkills]

Therese you are so inspiring!! Also, do I smell a Ted Lasso reaction vid in your future???

[@DrThereseMascardo]

Marie, thanks for watching! I would love to do a Ted Lasso reaction video with all my heart!! Your reaction videos have inspired me so much.

[@susanjones8938]

I want this life. What schooling did you do ?

[@Mindsetolympics]

Wait how do you have in person friends when you travel every couple of months?

[@sadafshaheen787]

hi

[@nickwatland3565]

Hello I have a Ba is psychology although it’s been a while , what license / education do I need to do this ? Thank you !

[@trudalacooks6055]

How does licensing work when you travel so much? Are you offering services while traveling?

[@i08dionisio]

Since you are in Portugal, try looking for a nutricionista there, they are incredible and you will love the way Portuguese eat.

[@jinitorres]

I would love to be a travel psychologist but I do not know how to get an opportunity like this. I would like to ask if I can do this if I have a masters degree or do I need a doctorate degree? ☺ Your videos are so helpful thank you. 💟

[@ibelieveinjesuschrist8911]

great question. do it!!!

[@aprilangel416]

Clinical Psychologist here too! Love this video! Would love to pick your brain. Any chance I can reach you?

[@meganp340]

@drtheresemascardo are you familiar with estrogen dominance? It’s the root cause PCOS.
