Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It’s wonderful that you’ve found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Houston. I understand how it feels to be far from home. Expat life holds so many wonderful experiences, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of navigating a new culture, and that feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of that can really take a toll. Especially when the Texas sun sets and the silence settles in, homesickness can become overwhelming, and the feeling of being uprooted can arise. You're not alone in this.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very particular difficulties that you as an expatriate face. It’s often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that keep popping up when queuing for a barbecue or trying to say "Howdy" correctly, and that feeling of identity loss that is so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Houston that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expatriate – 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 keep hearing the question: Sally, do you also 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. The following applies to me: Practice what you preach. So you can find me not only at MentalStark, in TED talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafés, 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 get back to 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 expatriate deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new culture – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so alien.
In my online counseling, we create a safe space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel torn between cultures, identity issues concern you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways for you not only to survive in Houston, 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 without obligation whether the chemistry is right and ask your open questions. You are also welcome to make appointments by email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together for you not only to survive in Houston, but to really arrive.
