I had just graduated with my PhD and was on a national job search when the pandemic hit. My life as I knew it changed but I eventually saw there was an opportunity to build toward something I wanted even more. At the end of 2021 I left my home state to begin traveling full time. I eventually started my own virtual private practice, where I specialize in couples and sex therapy, and just recently started my journey into coaching for digital nomads.    Connect with Tristan: FB Business page: https://www.facebook.com/share/TCgh6aUr33MmjwPa/?mibextid=qi20mg Website: www.iwanderwhatsnext.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iwanderwhatsnext.llc?igsh=Y3dqbHhtNzE1M2NO FB Group: www.facebook.com/groups/nomadictherapy   Sponsored by Berries: I love using AI in my private practice, but HIPAA is a huge concern when I'm writing my progress notes!!  I've been using Berries.icu to write my notes and I can't believe how easy it is to use!
