5 online therapy platforms in your language

Dear expat,

Despite the fact that we are emotional fighters at an advanced level also in another language, it may be that at the time of seeking psychological help we feel more comfortable expressing ourselves in our language. I have been in that situation and I would like us to see together several options depending on the language. Here you can find 5 online therapy platforms in your language.

Online platform for native Italians:

Unobravo psicologia online.

Unobravo is an Italian online therapy startup that is expanding into the Spanish market with the “Unbuencoco” service. Their mission is to break the stigma around mental health issues and create a world where having a psychologist is considered normal.. By clicking on “all areas of intervention” on their website, you can see that they specialized in psychotherapy for expats; for this reason there are several articles on the problems related to expatriation on the same page.

Why is it important to go to therapy?

Because you have to eradicate the general idea that you start a psychological path only when you reach a critical point or if you experience extreme episodes.

Going to the psychologist should represent an act of self-love and a tool to get to know yourself better, understand your needs and work through traumas.

Psychotherapy is a flower that puts its roots in your most chaotic part in order to grow luminous in your most conscious side and lead you to a fully living.

We live in a time in which, thanks to the platforms mentioned above, a session can cost as much as one dinner and two drinks and require 45 minutes.

The problem is not necessarily money or time.

The real problem is the low value attributed to these types of services.

This happens because today’s society is so enslaved to the immediate satisfaction of desire and so committed to social networks that it is easier to order 100 euros of clothes in Shein, or lose 45 minutes scrolling reels, than sitting in front of a computer and reflecting on fears and traumas, for the same price and time.
