Are you feeling burned out by the traditional weekly therapy model? EMDR intensives might be the solution you didn’t know you were looking for.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Carolyn Solo about how EMDR intensives completely transformed her practice, her income, and her quality of life. What started as a personal crisis and professional burnout turned into a powerful, flexible therapy model that delivers faster results for clients and more freedom for therapists.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the 53-minute session model or wondered how to create more time and income flexibility in your practice, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How Carolyn shifted from a traditional caseload to a three-day, 15-hour EMDR intensive model.
• Why EMDR intensives can reduce therapist burnout and improve client outcomes.
• The power of niching down, especially working with parents of neurodivergent kids.
• How to structure referrals so you are seen as an asset, not competition.
• The mindset shifts needed to confidently charge high ticket fees for intensive work.

This is one of those topics that comes up constantly in The Traveling Therapist Facebook group, especially for clinicians who feel pulled beyond the borders of the US. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Sienna Forest to talk about what getting licensed in Canada as a therapist actually looks like in real life.

Sienna is a US-based therapist who’s been living a nomadic lifestyle between the US and British Columbia, and she’s currently navigating licensure, visas, and permanent residence in Canada. She shares what she’s learned so far, what’s been harder than expected, and what she really wishes she had known before starting this process.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How Sienna transitioned from traditional therapy into a traveling therapy lifestyle.
• What it’s like working virtually from Canada while staying licensed in the US.
• The steps involved in getting licensed in British Columbia through the BCACC.
• Why visas, permanent residence, and licensure can create a frustrating “catch-22”.
• What therapists should consider before pursuing licensure in Canada.

Sometimes it takes stepping far outside your normal routine to realize what you actually want your life to look like. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with returning guest Tara Wells to talk about how a trip through Asia completely shifted her perspective on work, travel, and possibility.

As we talk, Tara shares how her experiences in India, Vietnam, and Thailand reshaped her vision of becoming a location independent therapist, and why Bangkok unexpectedly tied Mexico City as her favorite place in the world. We also dig into what it means to release rigid plans, trust what feels grounding, and build a therapy business that supports movement instead of limiting it.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How Tara’s Asia trip changed her perspective on becoming a location independent therapist.
• Why some places feel grounding in a way others just don’t.
• Letting go of long-term plans and giving yourself permission to change your mind.
• Tara’s path toward Canadian citizenship and why it matters to her.
• Moving beyond one-to-one therapy through speaking, masterminds, and entrepreneurship.
