Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Counselor

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in San Antonio. I understand what it feels like to be far from home. Life as an expat offers 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 the feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of this can be incredibly stressful. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming and create a feeling of being uprooted. You are not alone.

As an online psychologist, I understand the unique 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 nuances, the small misunderstandings that keep cropping up in everyday life, and that feeling of loss of identity 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 San Antonio that can help you, as well as 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 am Sally Schulze

    I constantly hear 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 this 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 cafés, by the lake, or snowboarding. In the picture here on the right, I'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. This is how I recharge my batteries and then start again full of energy.

English-Speaking Psychologists in San Antonio

Unfortunately, there are currently no practicing English-speaking psychologists in San Antonio. But that doesn't mean you have to go without support! I offer my online counseling to support you in your native language.

Online Counseling for Expats

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 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 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 for you not only to survive in San Antonio, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Expats

What specific mental health challenges do expats in San Antonio often experience?

Many expats in San Antonio struggle with adapting to Texan culture, which in some respects differs significantly from German culture. This often affects the casual tone, the strong emphasis on individualism, and the "Southern Hospitality" approach, which is well-intentioned but can sometimes seem superficial. Finding connection within the German community can also be challenging, especially if you are new to the city or don't immediately feel like you belong. The summer heat and the necessity of a car can also be stressful.

How can I cope with the challenges of adapting to Texan culture?

It is important to approach the new culture with openness and curiosity, but at the same time not to neglect your own values and needs. Actively seek contact with other expats or international groups to exchange ideas and support each other. Get involved in local clubs or organizations that match your interests to make new contacts. Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for help if you don't understand something. And don't forget to take time for yourself regularly to relax and recharge your batteries.

How do I find psychological counseling in San Antonio if I prefer to speak English?

Since there are currently no practicing English-speaking psychologists in San Antonio, online counseling is a good alternative. I offer you psychological counseling in your native language, conveniently from your own home.
The cost of a session with me is [Insert Price]. Payment is made in Euros.

How do I deal with culture shock in San Antonio?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. It can manifest itself in the form of fatigue, irritability, homesickness, or feeling overwhelmed. It is important to know that these feelings are temporary. Try to take time to explore the city and try new things. Talk to other expats about your experiences and exchange ideas. And be patient with yourself - it takes time to get used to a new culture. Visit, for example, the River Walk or Alamo Plaza to get to know the city.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in San Antonio?

Homesickness is a natural feeling when you are far from home. To counteract this, you can keep in regular contact with your family and friends back home. Schedule video calls or write emails. To avoid isolation, actively seek contact with other people in San Antonio. Visit German restaurants or shops to feel at home. Get involved in a club or organization that matches your interests. Or take an English class to meet new people.

How do language barriers affect my mental health and what resources are available?

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and feelings of isolation. If you can't communicate well, you may feel helpless and overwhelmed. To overcome language barriers, you can take a language course or use a language learning app. Seek contact with native speakers to improve your English. And don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. If you feel mentally stressed due to language barriers, you should seek professional help.

How does the behavior of Germans differ from that of Texans/Americans, and how can I deal with it?

There are some cultural differences between Germans and Texans/Americans that can lead to misunderstandings. For example, Americans are often more direct and open in their communication than Germans. They also tend to make small talk and quickly form superficial friendships. Germans, on the other hand, are often more reserved and value deeper relationships. To deal with these differences, it is important to be aware that there are different communication styles. Try to adapt to American culture, but stay authentic at the same time. And be patient - it takes time to understand and accept a new culture.
