Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our psychological counseling page for Dresden. I understand what it feels like to start anew in a foreign city or to live abroad as a German. Dresden, with its rich history and vibrant cultural scene, can be incredibly inspiring. But I also know that arriving and settling into a new environment – even one as beautiful as Dresden – can be challenging. Perhaps you miss your family and friends, are struggling with bureaucracy, or simply don't quite feel at home yet. You are not alone.
As an Online Psychologist, I understand the particular difficulties that await you as an expat or newcomer in Dresden. It's often not just the obvious things, like the Saxon dialect or finding the perfect Eierschecke (a local cake). It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings in everyday life, that can amplify this feeling of "not quite belonging." I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Dresden that can help you and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat or German in Dresden – no matter where you are and what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can help you with advice and support.
I constantly hear the question: Sally, do you ever take time for yourself? The answer is: Yes! As a speaker, expert, and entrepreneur, I am passionate about women's health. But I don't burn out.
I manage to do this by taking care of myself. Here, I believe in: Practise what you preach. So you won't just find me at MentalStark, in TED Talks, or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafes, by the lake, or on the snowboard. In the picture here on the right, I'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. That's how I recharge my batteries and then start again at full speed.
As a licensed Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) and certified fertility counselor (BKiD), I bring more than 3,000 hours of experience in online counseling. My approach is based on appreciation and radical acceptance – I create a safe space where you feel understood and accepted.
In our collaboration, a trusting relationship is particularly important to me. Your experiences as an expat or newcomer in Dresden deserve special attention and understanding, because life in a new environment brings unique challenges.

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming adapting to a new environment can be – when the Saxon dialect sounds unfamiliar, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so foreign.
In my online counseling, we create a protected space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel uprooted, identity questions are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you not only to survive in Dresden, but to lead a fulfilling life.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from a different cultural background – my couples counseling is a valuable support to build cultural bridges and find your way back to each other.
The 20-minute introductory meeting with me is free of charge. Check completely without obligation whether the chemistry is right and ask your open questions. You are also welcome to make appointments by e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together how you can not only survive in Dresden, but really arrive.
