Starting travel therapy is overwhelming — agencies, pay packages, tax homes, housing, licensure. Get paired with an experienced travel therapist mentor who can guide you through it all, completely free.
Request a MentorFill out a quick form with your discipline (PT, OT, or SLP), experience level, and what you need help with. Whether you're a new grad exploring your first contract or an experienced clinician switching agencies, we'll find the right match.
We pair you with a mentor who shares your discipline and has direct experience with your situation. A travel PT mentor for travel PT questions. An SLP who's navigated multi-state licensing for your licensure concerns. Relevant experience matters.
Your mentor reaches out within 48 hours. Chat by phone, text, or email — whatever works for both of you. Most mentees have a few conversations covering their biggest questions, though you're welcome to stay connected as long as you find it valuable.
Which agencies are best for your discipline and goals? How to evaluate recruiters, what red flags to watch for, and how to work with multiple agencies at once.
Learn how to read a full pay package breakdown, compare offers apples-to-apples, and make sure you're getting every dollar you deserve. Know what to ask for in writing before you sign.
Tax home rules are confusing, and getting them wrong can cost you thousands. Mentors explain how it works in plain language so you can make informed decisions.
From furnished apartments to travel-friendly sites, mentors share what's worked for them and help you avoid the most common housing mistakes new travelers make.
Multi-state licensing is one of the biggest hurdles in travel therapy. Mentors help you understand compact states, application timelines, and how to plan ahead.
What to expect in the first week, how to handle orientation, building relationships with permanent staff, and what to do if things aren't going well at a facility.
Travel therapy can be incredibly rewarding — higher pay, new cities, diverse clinical experience. But the learning curve is steep, and the industry isn't always set up to help you navigate it. Most of what new travelers learn comes from trial and error, online forums, or advice from recruiters who may not always have your best interests at heart.
Mentorship changes that equation. When you can ask honest questions to someone who's been in your shoes — someone who has no financial stake in your decision — you get better answers. You avoid costly mistakes. You start your travel career with confidence instead of anxiety.
That's why this program exists: to connect new and aspiring travel therapists with experienced travelers who genuinely want to help.
