Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Moscow. I truly understand what it feels like to be far from home. Expat life holds so many incredible 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 straddling two worlds – it can all take a toll. Especially when the city lights dim and the silence settles in, homesickness can become overwhelming, leaving you feeling uprooted. Please know that you are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as an expat in Moscow. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers, but also the complex interplay between tradition and modernity that makes Moscow so unique. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that repeatedly arise in everyday life, and that feeling of identity loss that is so difficult to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local options in Moscow that might help you (even if the selection is limited), and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat – no matter where you are or 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 that by taking care of myself. Here, I live by the motto: Practice what you preach. So, you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED Talks, or podcasting. No. You'll also find me in Frankfurt cafes, by the lake, or on my 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.
A trusting relationship is particularly important to me in our collaboration. Your experiences as an expat in Moscow deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
Finding English-speaking psychologists directly in Moscow can be challenging. Most psychological services are offered in Russian. Therefore, online counseling can be a valuable and easily accessible alternative for you. However, the following psychologists offer psychological counseling in Moscow:
Dr. Galina Kollmer
Psychologin
Uliza Akademika Vargi, 8, Moskau, 117133
As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adapt to a new culture – when the Cyrillic script seems foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so out of place.
In my online counseling, we create a protected space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel torn between cultures, identity issues are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways to not only survive in Moscow, 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 call with me is free of charge. Check completely without obligation whether you feel comfortable 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 to help you not only survive in Moscow, but to truly arrive.
