In today’s fast-paced, evolving healthcare world, finding a career that aligns with your values and aspirations can be particularly challenging.

Rediscovering Passion and Balance as an AMN Healthcare School Psychologist

"As a virtual school psychologist, I'm having so much fun working with students in this setting. It's engaging for them and fulfilling for me. I feel energized at work and supported daily as a professional!" 

Choosing AMN Healthcare wasn't just about finding a job—it was about aligning with an organization that embodies professionalism and high standards.

A Lifestyle of Freedom Through Teletherapy

  

One of the most empowering aspects of her position is the flexibility it provides. Being a virtual school psychologist means she can enjoy the simple pleasures that make life fulfilling.

"I have the flexibility to eat my lunch outside on my covered porch, jam to music while I write reports, and go for a walk during my break. I am entering my third contract year with the same school district, and I’m thankful I get to foster healthy relationships with my staff long-term! Working with AMN has been a true blessing in my life."

This balance extends beyond work. "I make sure that wherever I am—I am fully present so that I can be an effective school psychologist and also a loving and supportive friend and family member. I focus on what I need to do in each setting and have boundaries for work and life so that they don’t take from one another." 

Suppose you are looking to shift your therapy practice into a virtual setting. In that case, teletherapy offers a booming market of ever-growing opportunities to provide top-level care to students across the country with limited resources.

Exploring New Horizons 

While Courtney may not travel for work, the flexible lifestyle her career provides, and her adventurous spirit take her to exciting new destinations during her time. "The more I travel, the more independent and brave I become in trying new things, and foods, and talking to people that live locally. I hike a lot at home since I live close to the Appalachian Mountains, and now I hike when I travel to other locations like Arizona." Her favorite travel destination? The Dominican Republic.

"The beaches are absolutely gorgeous there, and the sand feels like a pillow!"
