How Does The Other Therapy Support Expats and Digital Nomads?
The Other Therapy offers unique services specifically directed towards location-independent individuals. Below, we’ll explore what makes The Other Therapy unique.
Flexibility and Convenience
Many expats struggle to find therapists who can accommodate them in their respective time zones, leaving them to struggle alone with their mental health difficulties. Fortunately, The Other Therapy’s therapists are located worldwide, allowing them to work with clients from all time zones. Furthermore, clients may travel far and wide with a calm mind, knowing their therapist will be available regardless of their physical location.
Additionally, The Other Therapy is unique because clients may text and send voice messages to their therapist between official sessions. This allows the client to receive ongoing support at any time of day or night.
Security and Privacy
The Other Therapy prioritises our clients’ security, privacy, and safety. We only use video and text platforms that are fully HIPAA-compliant and that ensure all data is encrypted securely.
In addition, as mentioned above, all of our therapists are fully licensed. Moreover, they are all involved in ongoing training and supervision to ensure their skills growth.
Comfort
Our teletherapy allows our clients to receive support wherever they are most comfortable. Many call from the warm, safe environment of their home or office. When our clients are on the road, they frequently join their therapy sessions from co-working offices and Airbnb houses.
Intake Calls
Every therapy and coaching contract at The Other Therapy begins with an intake call that is 100% free with no commitment necessary.
The aim of this intake call is to determine whether the client(s) and therapist are a good fit for one another. If the client or the therapist is hesitant about the relationship’s viability, the therapist will refer the client to a therapist in The Other Therapy’s network of highly qualified peers. We ensure that the client finds the therapist they need, everytime.
Client Fees
Depending on session frequency (weekly or biweekly sessions are generally recommended), fees can be steeper than those of websites such as Betterhelp and Talkspace. However, we guarantee that the therapists at The Other Therapy are top-notch. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. When it comes to your mental, emotional, and relational health, why spend good money on anything less than the absolute best?
Range of Therapy Options
The Other Therapy boasts several offerings that expats and digital nomads typically benefit from and need. These include:
- Therapy for intercultural marriages
- Therapy for social adjustment
- Anxiety therapy
- Therapy for guilt and shame
- Therapy for depression
- Couples therapy
- Family and parent counseling
- Codependent therapy
- Premarital therapy
- Therapy for infidelity
- Therapy for long-distance relationships
- Self-esteem therapy
- Grief and loss therapy
- Therapy for codependence
First Step to Treatment
The free intake call is a great place to start for people unsure about therapy. On the call, the therapist strives to understand the client’s unique situation and offers her sincere professional perspective on the client’s presenting problems. The client (or the clients, when couples therapy is being explored) is not obligated to continue therapy, making this a safe and warm environment in which to understand what therapy with The Other Therapy will look like.
What to Know Before Beginning with The Other Therapy
Our therapists are warm and friendly. We will be happy to speak with you to assist on your journey.
That said, The Other Therapy is not an emergency service. If you are experiencing mental health difficulties that require immediate attention (such as strong suicidal or homicidal urges), please contact your local emergency services right away.
If your mental and emotional needs do not constitute a medical emergency, go ahead and schedule a free intake call with us or send us an email and a real human therapist will be in touch with you shortly.
Bottom Line
If you are an expat or a global nomad, The Other Therapy is what you need and deserve. Your situation is unique, and you deserve mental and relational support that appreciates your special circumstances.
Many well-meaning therapists do not have the first-hand experience or the necessary skill set to work productively with location-independent people. These therapists put expat clients into a box that doesn’t do justice to the trials and tribulations incurred by their lifestyle.
The Other Therapy is here to support expats and digital nomads on their path to emotional freedom, mental health, and relational connection. We are confident that we are the solution you have been waiting for.
