My areas of interest and expertise are wide ranging and include identity formation and crisis, creative blocks, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem problems, LGBTQ issues, sexual difficulties, transitions, eating/body image struggles, procrastination, relationship conflicts, and the particular concerns of artists, academics, and those who live across and between cultures. Regardless of the specifics of their difficulties, my primary concern is to help my patients more successfully navigate challenges, come to better understand themselves, and learn to derive more satisfaction from their lives.
Cross-Cultural Experience: Having lived and travelled abroad at a critical point in my own development, I have some experience of the challenges of relocation and adjustment across geographies, cultures, and identities.

Cross-Cultural Experience: I grew up as a TCK, with Finnish parents who immigrated to America when I was an infant. I've traveled extensively, including spending the last four years of my life as a nomad, living and working in 26 different countries on four continents. That nomadic period started with a big transition to Japan, getting a work visa, a job, becoming a resident, and moving my life there, spending over a year working for a large company with locals and other expats. I know the challenges of suddenly being completely without language and going from a life of general mastery to general cluelessness, from having a big supportive community to having no one and starting from scratch. I've spent six months or more living in Finland, Thailand, Italy, and Australia. I have also worked to train missionaries and humanitarian aid workers moving abroad, and worked to support them while on the field and helped them transition home.

Nationality: English
Languages Spoken: English (I speak elementary French but only provide counselling / therapy in English at present)
Religious Affiliation: I work with clients from different religious backgrounds and spiritual orientations.
Clinical Specialties: I am an English psychological therapist living and practicing in Toulouse, France. I work with individuals and couples, offering counselling and psychotherapy support with a wide range of problems. The sorts of things people may bring to me include, but is not limited to: family and relationships issues, difficulties living as an expat, difficulties from childhood, burnout or collages of a professional function, stress, life-stage events, abuse and trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic illness, bereavement and loss, identity issues, self-esteem and confidence issues, mental health difficulties. All of these reasons, and more, may bring a person to therapy. However, you do not have to be in crisis or on the verge of one, before choosing to seek counselling and psychotherapy. As an integrative practitioner, I do not adhere rigidly to a specific model, or way of working, but rather I take a multidisciplinary approach by adapting and drawing on a variety of therapeutic traditions to tailor how we work in a way that will be most beneficial to you as an individual.
Cross-Cultural Experience: From the UK and I have previously lived in Geneva and then moved to Toulouse with my family so I have first-hand experience of the types of challenges faced when moving and living abroad.

Religious Affiliation:
Clinical Specialties: Psychotherapy with highly Creative, highly Sensitive and/or Gifted people – children, youth and adults. I work from the perspectives of both psychodynamic and Jungian depth psychotherapy (I am a training candidate at the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado). I work locally in-person and online worldwide. My focus is to help my clients thrive, heal, become fully alive, discover and fulfill their purpose/destiny for being on this planet at this time in earth's history. In the interest of pursuing these goals, I serve as a metaphorical Wilderness Guide for a trek through the wilderness of Inner Territory. We live in a world culture in which, for the most part, it is not ok to HAVE/FEEL emotions or EXPRESS them. This creates many problems for all of us, especially those who are highly creative, sensitive and/or intelligent. In the context of all of this, much of my work involves helping with the following problems: Super-sensitivity, anxiety, depression, relationships issues, school or work stress, self-esteem/identity problems, alienation, isolation, trauma, grief and loss, adoption, facing chronic or life-threatening illness, ADD or ADHD, sensory processing disorders, learning differences or disabilities and related concerns.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I grew up in an extended family in which aunts and uncles were often going to live abroad and returning from having lived abroad. My mother's parents were medical missionaries to Peru when she was an infant and returned when she was 6 years old. They started a clinic in the high Andes which is 90+ years later is a hospital (which I have visited). Both of these situations had a great impact on my own development, giving me an awareness of and connection to the whole world from an early age. My sophomore year of college was in Valencia, Spain, so I have experienced the adjustments of living in another culture. This includes thinking I had adequately prepared for this adventure, while almost instantly discovering upon arrival in Spain that I had not; learning the culture and the language in that year to the extent that I was dreaming in Spanish by the end of the year; and then experiencing significant culture shock when I returned to the US after my year of study was over. I also have an unofficially adopted son (at the age of 18 after his mother's death) whose birth father is from Thailand and whose birth mother is Caucasian. I have worked with clients in various countries in Europe, Asia, Central and South America and Australia.

Nationality: USA
Languages Spoken: English
Religious Affiliation: I have had training and experience in working with people of many different religious faiths, spiritual orientations and backgrounds, as well as, individuals who identify as agnostic or atheist.
Clinical Specialties: [Individuals, Couples, & Families – Adults and Adolescents] Expatriate and repatriate challenges (including culture shock, reverse culture shock, adjustment and short/long term goals); international student adjustment; TCK, feelings of dislocation; isolation; discrimination; life transitions; bereavement (including traumatic/sudden loss); relationship issues; divorce; family conflict; estrangement from family of origin; trauma; PTSD; victims of sexual abuse; person's struggling to reconcile moral injury from combat; workplace &/or school or academic stressors; depression; anxiety; adult effects of neurodiversity (including: dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Asperger's Syndrome); support for carers; career planning; identity; and personal development.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I worked with immigrants and refugees in Miami, prior to actualizing my own desire to live and work overseas. I taught academic English at a Japanese university whilst providing phone counseling to both foreign expats and Japanese repatriates on Tokyo English Life Line. I later extended my cross-cultural experience including having spent time in India and having lived and worked in Northern Iraq and in London, United Kingdom where I trained more extensively in the field of counseling and held clinical placements at a bereavement service, a hospice, a specialist Asperger's Syndrome Service and an NHS hospital, as well as having been a phone counselor with a national mental health hotline and a support worker with victims and witnesses of crimes. I have provided counseling/psychotherapy to clients from over 19 different countries across a range of ages, socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, languages of origin, and religious/spiritual orientations. My having spent over a decade of my adult life living, working and providing counseling in foreign countries affords me a unique world perspective, which I feel extends beyond what can be taught from within one's country of origin alone. I apply a person-centered and existential lens to my approach to therapy in which I seek to understand the client's world view from their shoes, without assumption or stereotype, but rather through unpacking meaning with the client and meeting them where they are. I believe that human suffering is a normal part of life, rather than a deficiency or pathology, and I value and honor difference. When one challenges themselves outside of their comfort zone or place of origin, I think it is only natural that they will face periods of unease. In confronting this unease, I feel there is an opportunity to learn about oneself and to grow and evolve. I find working with people facing inter-cultural issues to be phenomenally rewarding and I feel honored to be a part of that process with clients.

Clinical Specialties: I hold my MA Degree in Clinical Psychology from California and I'm Licensed as a Marriage Family Therapist. I work with children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, families and groups. Here are some examples what kind of clientele I work with; clients with depression, bereavement, grief & loss, miscarriage, divorce, different anxiety difficulties, panic attacks, trauma, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, self-esteem issues, parent/child difficulties, parent education, couples difficulties & other relationship problems, family systems struggles, life transition, relocation & expat difficulties etc…
Cross-Cultural Experience: I was born and raised in Germany and moved to California at age 22. In the USA, I inquired my education to become a clinical psychologist and licensed marriage family therapist. In May 2006 I moved to Singapore and opened my private practice/company called California Counseling Pte Ltd. and worked there as a clinician and director. In October 2013, I moved back to Europe and kept my company in Singapore. I continued to see former and new clients worldwide on line via Skype or VSee and I opened a new branch in the Netherlands offering face to face services there as well. A colleague of mine is momentarily still running the Singapore office. In October 2015 I moved my private practice from the Netherlands to Switzerland. Since November 2015, I have been providing "in person" psychological services in Zurich, Wadenswil & Zug and I'm continually giving online services via Skype and VSee. Since I have been an expat myself for many years, I know what it feels like to move around, starting all over. It is normal for expat families to face many challenges once the first excitement of being in a new place has worn off. A person might feel dull or empty, sad, out of place, frustrated, angry, lonely or indifferent and does not understand what is wrong or how to find his way back of feeling content and happy as he used to be. In case you find yourself in such a place and you can't put your finger on why you or a family member feels like this since your relocation, I do understand your struggles and can help to figure out which part of your internal world you have neglected and walk beside you to get back on track again.

Clinical Specialties: Are you satisfied with the trajectory of your life? Crafting the kind of life you want to live that's enjoyable, fulfilling, and reflective of your true self is challenging for everyone. A counselor acts as a sounding board, guide, mentor, to help you be more effective at reaching your goals and resolving your own struggles. I work with hetero and LGBTQ individuals, couples, and alternative relationships. People seek counseling for various reasons, which can include resolving problems or improving themselves. I specialize in counseling on personal and professional relationships, to help you learn the necessary skills to direct your future, avoid potential problems, and increase your success and happiness. Maintaining healthy relationships requires skillful maintenance, without which even innocuous issues can fester into serious conflicts, including resentment, criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and distrust. I help you work on the challenges you face today and learn the skills to address challenges in the future. I see clients online via encrypted video calls. Online counseling means I'm accessible whenever and wherever it's convenient for you, and you can continue to see me wherever your life takes you. My counseling style is trauma-informed, solutions-focused therapy. The methodologies I use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT). My role throughout is to nonjudgmentally help you reach your goals as effectively as possible through effective research-based psychological strategies. I offer a free initial consultation so contact me to see if I am a good fit for you.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I'm a Polish-Canadian expat living in the US, after many years travelling through Europe. I have extensive experience providing mental health counseling with immigrant and Native American clients. I currently specialize in working with expatriates, specifically around the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships, anxiety, loneliness, depression, identify, and other challenges unique to expats.

Clinical Specialties: I hold a PhD in clinical psychology and I have been trained in existential psychotherapy and counselling. I am legally registered as a health psychologist (GZ-Psycholoog). Counselling sessions can be covered by health insurance. I specialise in working with expats, TCK's and international students with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, burnout and life-work balance, cultural adjustment, sexuality and relationship issues, self-esteem issues, personal growth, as well as existential and life-meaning questions. In my work I stress the importance of the body's knowledge and physical fitness for our well-being. I advise about sports or diet if necessary. Besides my work as a psychologist in private practice, I am also involved as a mental coach for athletes.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I come from a mixed Slovenian – Croatian background. I have studied and lived in the Netherlands and United Kingdom. After having lived in various places, I settled in the Netherlands, which by now became my third 'home'. I am professionally and personally familiar with the challenges that a move to a different country entails. It can be an overwhelming experience, during which new issues arise and the old ones gain strength. At the same time, it represents an amazing potential for personal growth that can be enhanced by counselling. It is incredibly interesting and fulfilling for me to be able to work with people from various cultural backgrounds.

I currently work with foreign students and international workers who require individual support in Rome (some on a short-term basis).

Clinical Specialties: Individual and couples therapy for anxiety, depression, life transition and adjustment issues, intercultural issues, self-esteem problems, geriatric and aging issues, burnout and overwork.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I was born and raised in Greece, where I received in parallel both the Greek and Dutch education. This allowed me to experience all aspects of both cultures from the very start of my life and acted as a driving force for eagerly wanting to be among people with different backgrounds, in order to learn and understand those. This was achieved to a large extent during my study years, as I always chose to attend international programs, but also when I myself became an expat when I decided to obtain my degree at Leiden University and move to the Netherlands. Here I worked with expats as a teacher at an International School, as a psychologist at an Intercultural Mental Health Institution, and now as a psychologist at my own private practice. My background allows me to understand the challenges faced when living abroad, as well as the psychological processes involved when trying to accept and adjust to a new life.

Clinical Specialties: I am an experienced queer identified integrative practitioner which means that i draw on various psychotherapy traditions and integrate them into my practice. Integrative therapy takes into account the many different ways of being human and the different systems (personal, political, social, cultural, spiritual, ethical) that we are in. i tailor my practice to suite the client need. in essence, we will work together to get you where you need to be: here, therapy is seen as more of a collaboration, we both bring are histories to the room, and it is in the intersubjective or third space (the space between) where therapy happens and the process of unfolding and healing begins.
Cross-Cultural Experience: I have lived in both the UK and Germany, and work extensively with difference, displacement and cross-cultural issues within my practice.

I'm 1/2 African American and it's really long and tangled and curly and unmanageable.
I try to straighten at 320 and it gets straight but like 30 min. to an hour later it's a frizz ball. I put frizz-ease in it and that helps tame the frizz a little but not enough to make it sleek and shiny and it doesn't make it stay straight longer.
I'm afraid to crank it up to 400 and risk burning my hair. Advice please. I can't be confident with my hair like this and I'm tired of people having negative things to say about it. I would just like to have it sleek and straight every now and then without having to pay a fortune.
Most Helpful Girl
Truth be told, it could just be your iron.
While my hair is really thin, its EXTREMELY curly. I went through the same problem. Turns out it was mainly because I wasn't using a good iron, I bought one from cvs or walmart or something, it was a conair iron.
Not too long ago, I invested in a good iron and not only can I crank it to 420 degrees without being too worried, I can iron it every 5-6 days and not have severe hair damage. And my hair is THIN.
What I do is wash it, put a dime size amount of Redken Smooth Down (heat protectant) and blow dry it with a round brush or paddle brush. The goal is to separate the curls and take out unnecessary moisture. This is key to fighting frizz, trust me, I live in Miami, fl and DC- The capitol of humidity. Blow dry it as straigh as possible, if you look like a puffed poodle, you're probably doing it right lol
Then I spray CHI iron guard 44 on the ends of my hair and on the back of my hair, avoiding any parts that might get oily fast, and kind of work it through.
Then using a good iron, I straighten it in small sections. It should basically glide through.
Good irons that I've tried:
CHI- It works great, gives that pin straight look in a snap! The only issue is there's only one heat setting and causes a little bit more damage than the other ones that I've tried. I would suggest the max use being once a week, with hair breaks lasting 3 days of nurturing (deep conditioners). But they're REALLLLLY good. They cost like 70-90 dollars depending on where you get it. My roommate has one and I use it all the time for events, or when I'm in a hurry. It never fails.
HAI- Doesn't work as well as the chi, or as fast, but it still gives really straight hair. It also does less damage, I feel. Its the only one I own. It works really well and keeps a lot of the volume at the top of my head, wheres the chi does not. I love it for my bangs. Sometimes when I use my roomies chi, I'll use my HAI for my bangs :P I got it on Folica.com for 80 dollars.
GHD- My cousin has it. It is in fact the god of all straighteners. SO quick, SO easy, and it causes the least amount of damage. I just can't afford it. Its like 200 dollars, maybe 160 if you're lucky. BUT ITS SOOOOO GOOOOODDDD.
Again, investing in a hair straighter will save you money and really make you happy. Using a cheap one your hair becomes brittle and you have to constantly buy new ones.
Good luck!
I have a CHI. I blow dry my hair with a round brush too.
I don't know, maybe I will try the CHI Iron guard since everyone is recommending it (I've always thought it was too expensive so I get the cheaper alternatives) and I'll try cranking it up to 400 to see if it will make my hair straighter.
