Psychotherapy for Migrants

Living in another country can bring meaningful opportunities, but it can also involve significant emotional and psychological challenges, such as:

• Adapting to a new culture, routines, or social norms;
• Feeling distant from your support network or experiencing loneliness;
• Language barriers or difficulty fully expressing yourself in a non-native language;
• Stress related to migration, identity, or a sense of belonging;
• Pressure from work, studies, or relationships alongside the adaptation process.

Being far from home may lead to homesickness, anxiety, emotional fatigue, difficulty concentrating, prolonged sadness, or challenges in expressing yourself in another language.

At APIPC, we offer therapy in Portuguese, English, and French, because being able to speak in the language you think in allows for deeper understanding and a more meaningful therapeutic connection.
