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 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.
Our Team
Our team brings extensive experience living and working across cultures and 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 offer care that helps clients feel seen, understood, and grounded. Many of our practitioners speak additional languages, allowing clients to express themselves in the way that feels most natural.
Every member of our team is an active practitioner in private practice. Each has been welcomed to East to West following careful consideration of their qualifications, experience, and commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care.
We are passionate about serving internationals from around the world and deeply value and respect every person, honoring their unique history, values, and faith traditions. We welcome clients from all cultural and religious backgrounds, as well as those not rooted in any particular belief.
At East to West Counseling, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and grounded space where clients feel supported as they heal, grow, and move toward greater wholeness.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12
