Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in New York City. I understand how it feels to be far from home. Life as an expat in the "city that never sleeps" holds so many exciting possibilities, but it can also be an emotional challenge. The hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the pressure to succeed professionally, the high cost of living – all of that can really take a toll on your nerves. Especially when you long for a piece of home and feel like you're getting lost in this giant concrete jungle. You're not alone.
As an Online Psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as an expat abroad. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle differences in mentality, the different way of maintaining relationships, and that constant feeling of having to prove yourself. I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in New York City that can help you, 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 keep hearing the question: Sally, do you 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 here: Practise what you preach. So you will not only find me at MentalStark, in TED talks or when 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 am enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. That's how I recharge my batteries and then get back to work.
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 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 adapt to a new culture – when the "New York Minute" stresses you out, the skyline is impressive, but the anonymity of the city feels oppressive, 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 torn between cultures, identity issues are bothering you, or homesickness is burdening you – together we will find ways how you can not only survive in New York City, but lead a fulfilling life.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from another 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 email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together how you can not only survive in New York City, but really arrive.
