Individual Therapy for
International Professionals

I see you.

You work so hard and you’ve dreamed of this life, but now you’re struggling to enjoy it. Something feels off. You are craving a sense of belonging.
Even though you have been here for a while, you can’t shake the feeling that you’re different and don’t quite fit in.

As someone who works for (or is partnered with someone who works for) an international organization, you may be struggling with:

  • High levels of stress, overwhelm and exhaustion related to the demands of working in an international organization, managing complex projects, meeting tight deadlines, frequent international travel, or navigating cultural differences.

  • Symptoms of anxiety, such as excessive worry, restlessness, irritability, or difficulty concentrating, related to your work responsibilities or uncertainty about the future.

  • Feeling lonely and homesick as you are adapting to a new culture, language, and work environment.

  • Symptoms of post-traumatic stress such as intrusive memories, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness after having been exposed to traumatic events in your home country or course of your work.

  • Difficulties in personal relationships, either due to long periods of separation from loved ones, challenges in maintaining relationships across different time zones, or conflicts arising from work demands.

  • Questions of identity, purpose, or values, particularly in the context of working for an international organization with diverse cultures and perspectives.

  • Feeling unfulfilled or dissatisfied with your career trajectory or sense of impact, leading to feelings of disillusionment or a loss of motivation.

  • Finding it hard to practice self-care when you are experiencing physical symptoms of stress or burnout, such as fatigue, insomnia, headaches, or gastrointestinal issues.

  • Feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and detached from work due to prolonged stress and pressure in the workplace.

If you find yourself nodding and thinking “yes, that describes me” I can help. As an immigrant myself, I know first-hand what it’s like to adjust to a new life and work culture.
