Building bridges.
Have you moved to Austria from another country and are you looking for a place where you can consciously address your new life situation and the challenges that come with it? Together, we'll create your individual bridge so that you can become a part of Austrian society, remain true to yourself, and live your values at all times.

Do you have a fear of unfamiliar people, cultures, and/or religions and notice that this fear may be limiting your quality of life? Perhaps you notice automatic behaviors toward strangers that make you uncomfortable.

Together we can explore where your fear comes from and what you need to live more freely.

Are you returning from an extended stay abroad and having trouble settling in? Have you experienced a lot abroad and want to process and integrate your experiences?
Have you lived abroad for an extended period and feel completely at home neither there nor here? Do you feel like you're caught between two stools?

Find your individual path and thus the solution to your inner conflict within the framework of intercultural psychotherapy.

“What happens in our relationships is an expression of our relationship with ourselves” Eva-Maria Zurhorst

How does intercultural psychotherapy have a positive effect on my relationship?

Binational relationships and families are subject to fundamental challenges that relationships and families bring with them – just like couples whose members all come from the same cultural background.

Creating something new and unique together

In addition, there are other challenges that need to be overcome: If there is no common foundation of values (regarding relationships, raising children, living together, household, working life, freedom, etc.), it may at first feel like an insurmountable, perhaps even divisive problem - but it is precisely this knot that makes it possible, if it is dealt with consciously and reflectively, to create something new and unique together.

It is helpful

• not to take the inherent “normal” for granted
• to make unspoken internalized rules of behavior discussable
• to explain oneself: to become aware of one's own, perhaps unconscious, values and beliefs, to recognize the need behind them and subsequently to express it
• to develop inner flexibility and security with each other in order to experience the otherness of the partner not as a threat but as an enrichment

-Can/May I live my life differently than my parents?
