Every parent feels the pull in multiple directions and the inadequacy of not being able to do as much as you want to. I’ve tried to focus on quality over quantity, to make the most of the time. The most conscious things I’ve had to do to make this work are 1) establishing times for looking at my phone and reading/responding to messages, so that I can then put it aside when I’m spending time with the kids.

I am a much more present parent when I’ve also allowed myself some time each day just for me, whether to read, get a drink with a friend, or go for a workout. 3) finding things that we like to do together.

It’s no secret that teletherapy helps provide school districts, healthcare organizations, and patients across the U.S. access highly-qualified professionals who would otherwise be outside of their geographic reach. However, clinicians who have gotten into telepractice on their own have found that, although technology allows them to easily connect with their clients and patients across state lines, building their business and staying in compliance can be real challenges. A big reason why PresenceLearning has been successful at getting our telepractitioners the hours they want is because we have a dedicated team that works to match clinicians with opportunities no matter where they are. Our team of specialists know the state laws and requirements and can even offers bonuses to clinicians who obtain additional state licenses. This…
