Psychological Counseling - For a More Fulfilling Life 

Psychological Counseling is a protected space and time during which you get to explore anything you might be stuck with in life. No problem is too big or too small, we are here to listen and help. Without judgment, you will receive empathy as well as different tools and prompts to help you figure out the best path forward.

Topics we can help with

  • Self-image and self-esteem
  • Career development through the lens of an expat
  • Relationship changes after moving abroad for a partner
  • Identity shifts — migration, new diagnoses, big life changes
  • Managing anxiety and stress
  • Navigating depression
  • Living with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD
  • Socializing and connection difficulties
  • Coming into adulthood
  • General self-exploration (like when something feels missing but you can't quite name what)

Approaches I draw from

Every process is integrative: we take from different approaches whatever serves you best.

ACT — Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while taking steps toward what you value.
EFT — Emotion-Focused Therapy
Noticing, understanding and transforming the emotions underneath, so they can guide you rather than overwhelm you.
CBT — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Recognising unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying out kinder, more effective alternatives.
DBT — Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, practising mindfulness and navigating relationships.

Could this be the right fit?

At Swiss Mental Care, we provide care for teenagers and young adults. We pride ourselves on being inclusive and open-minded. If you speak English and/or Spanish and are facing any of the issues mentioned above, we would love to help you. However, like every therapist, we are not able to specialize in everything. We have professional limitations and being transparent about them is part of good care.

If there is severe depression with strong suicidality, a strong diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), schizophrenia or similar conditions, or a history of psychiatric internment, we may not be a good fit for you. Sometimes, a more specialised practitioner or team can bring better-informed help and we will gladly help you find them. If you're unsure, the complimentary initial call is a good place to talk it through.
