59. Roaming Resilience: Navigating Vicarious Trauma as a Traveling Therapist with Jenny Hughes

Jenny Hughes is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of trauma and PTSD. As a clinician, she practices EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure therapy.

Through her clinical work, Jenny has been able to also support fellow trauma therapists through the shared experience of vicarious trauma. As the founder of The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective, Jenny helps trauma therapists go from feeling drained and demoralized to energized and empowered. The work done in The BRAVE Collective is ideal for any traveling therapist as our community becomes your home away from home, no matter where you are in the world!

Have you heard of Alma?

As you may know, I have a variety of resources available to therapists who want to bill insurance in their private practice. I have a comprehensive membership to teach you how to build on your own. But I also refer mental health practitioners to companies like Alma who can do your billing for you if you don't want to hire billers or do it on your own. If this sounds like the kind of support you need in your insurance-based private practice, consider joining Alma to get the tools and support you need to manage and grow your private practice, accept insurance and focus on what matters most delivering high-quality care to your clients.
