As a group of independent counselors and therapists, we collectively offer many diverse skills and resources for the Expat community in Munich (Heidelberg and Bochum too!). We have backgrounds from the U.S.A., Latin America, U.K., Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Armenia. In addition to English-speaking therapy, we offer services in German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Armenian and Russian. Many newcomers to Munich navigating significant transitions come to our counselors for support. We have been working with Expats in Munich since 2016, and in 2020, joined forces to build an english-speaking “Praxisgemeinschaft” or shared practice community.
