About East to West Counseling
​
Founded in 2019 and based in Stuttgart, Germany, East to West Counseling is an international Praxisgemeinschaft—a community of independent mental health professionals grounded in the Christian faith. We provide both in-person and online services to clients around the world.
​
Our mission is simple: to provide culturally sensitive, compassionate, holistic care -- supporting each individual on their journey toward 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
​
Who are we
​
With years of experience living abroad and supporting people across cultures -- including internationals, missionaries, military families, and veterans -- our team understands the unique challenges of expatriate life. We provide culturally sensitive, compassionate care that bridges cultures and continents. Many of our therapists also speak additional languages, helping clients feel fully understood.
​​​​​
Our practitioners are trained in diverse evidence-based approaches, each bringing unique skills to create a collaborative, comprehensive support system. We honor every client’s history, culture, and faith, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds, including those without a specific belief tradition.
​
At East to West Counseling, we are dedicated to creating a safe and respectful space where clients feel understood, supported, and strengthened on their journey toward mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
