The Traveling Therapist Podcast

162. Mental Health Support for Nomads with Geleen Antonio

Kym Tolson Episode 162

Mental health support for nomads is more important than ever, especially as more people choose location freedom without leaving their emotional wellbeing behind. Whether you're a therapist looking to reach a global audience or a traveler seeking support that understands your lifestyle, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Geleen Antonio, the founder of Travel Not to Escape—a platform that connects nomads with therapy resources that meet them where they are. We explore how Geleen built a global mental health directory, why culturally aligned care matters, and how she's making mental health support for nomads more accessible and community-driven than ever before.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • Why traditional mental health models don’t always work for nomads
  • How Travel Not to Escape connects travelers with therapists who “get it”
  • The importance of culturally competent care for people living abroad
  • How Geleen directory supports both therapists and global clients
