Mental health roles in international schools are often misunderstood—or completely overlooked—when therapists consider a career abroad. In this episode, I chat with Jen Kantor about her journey from working as a school-based therapist in Seattle to supporting students at international schools in Brazil and now Switzerland.
Jen walks us through how she found her roles, what day-to-day life looks like in this setting, and how it differs from traditional therapy work. We also talk about licensing limitations, and what to expect from the international school environment—especially when it comes to boundaries. If you’ve ever been curious about what mental health support looks like inside an international school, you’re going to love this conversation.
In This Episode, We Explore…
- Jen’s journey from working in Seattle to supporting students internationally
- The difference between her roles in Brazil and Switzerland—and how her work shifted over time
- How she navigates working without a local license while still offering therapeutic support
- What it’s like to live on a boarding school campus with her family
