About Us
An international faith-based practice community
East to West Counseling is an international Praxisgemeinschaft -- a practice community of independent mental health professionals who share common core values grounded in the Christian faith.
We are based in Stuttgart, Germany, and provide in-person as well as telehealth
services for internationals globally.
Who We Are
Our mission is to provide culturally sensitive, compassionate care, grounded in faith
Our practitioners are trained in several different areas and work from a variety of evidence-based modalities and psychological therapeutic approaches. Each professional has a specific focus and unique set of skills, allowing us to support one another and our clients in a comprehensive and collaborative partnership.
​
We are passionate about serving internationals from all nations around the globe and strive to provide culturally sensitive, compassionate care. We deeply value and respect each and every person, honoring their unique history, cultural values, and faith traditions. We welcome clients from all cultural + religious backgrounds and traditions, as well as those not rooted in any one particular belief.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12
