About East to West Counseling​
Founded in 2019 and based in Stuttgart, Germany, East to West Counseling is an international Praxisgemeinschaft -- a practice community of independent mental health professionals grounded in the Christian faith. We offer both in‑person and online services to clients in Germany and around the world.
​
Our mission is simple:
To provide culturally sensitive, compassionate care for the whole person, supporting each individual on their journey toward mental, emotional, and spiritual well‑being.
​
Who are we​​
Our team brings extensive experience living and working across cultures, supporting internationals, expats, military families, veterans, Third Culture Kids, missionaries, and others navigating life in transition. We understand the complexities of cross‑cultural identity and mobility, and we offer care that helps clients feel seen, understood, and grounded. Many of our therapists speak additional languages, allowing clients to express themselves in the way that feels most natural.
​
Every member of our team is an active therapist in private practice, highly qualified, extensively trained, and experienced in providing mental health care across diverse cultural contexts.
​
We are passionate about serving internationals from all nations around the globe and deeply value and respect every person, honoring their unique history, cultural values, and faith traditions. We welcome clients from all cultural and religious backgrounds and traditions, as well as those not rooted in any one particular belief.
​​​
At East to West Counseling, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and grounded space where clients can grow, heal, and strengthen their mental, emotional, and spiritual well‑being.
​​​
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12
