Today, we’re tackling one of the most important topics for location-independent therapists: liability insurance for traveling therapists. It’s the #1 question I get asked in my Facebook group—“What do I do about liability insurance?”—and for good reason. Practicing across state lines or internationally can be confusing, and knowing how to protect yourself, your clients, and your practice is non-negotiable. In this episode, we’ll dive into the ins and outs of liability insurance, explore how to stay compliant with licensing laws, and share tips for simplifying your portable practice.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why liability insurance is essential for therapists, especially those with a traveling lifestyle
• Key considerations when choosing the right insurance provider (including CPH & Associates and HPSO).
• How to ensure compliance with your state licensing laws while practicing remotely.
• The challenges of practicing internationally and how to navigate local laws and insurance options.
• Tips for simplifying compliance, including keeping detailed records and leveraging professional associations.
