Counseling for Expats

Be an Expat that THRIVES!

Counseling for expats can help burnout which is a state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.

There are three stages of burnout: Stressed, Overwhelmed, and Crispy. While the process can be stopped at any point, it’s generally in the crispy stage that people begin to have a sense that “something is wrong”.

We provide counseling for expats accessible World-Wide Online. Thousands trust our counselors each year because of our 5-Star Personalized Service & Quality Counseling.

The Proof

COMMON COUNSELING FOR EXPATS QUESTIONS

  • How can I deal with cross cultural challenges?
  • Who can I share my family or vocation challenges with?
  • What is a normal level of stress versus an unhealthy level?
  • How can I live in another country while also struggling with depression?
  • What is burnout and what options forward are there?
  • Am I ready for this next chapter in my expat career?
  • Is my family ready to support me through this circumstance?
  • How does sexual sin impact me living abroad?
  • How can I address financial hardships?
  • Am I missing something?

LEADING CAUSES OF BURNOUT

Bad Theology

In many cases bad theology is, in part, responsible for high levels of burnout and attrition in the ministry. Somewhere along the line we got the message that serving whole heartedly means neglecting the needs God has created our bodies with as well as the command to regularly practice sabbath rest.

MISPLACED PRIORITIES, IDENTITY, VALUE, AND WORTH

Sometimes our priorities are in the ditch of secular hedonism/idolatry where our focus is on our wants, wishes, and what we believe will make us happy. Instead of realizing God has multiple priorities for our life (our spouse, our kids, self-care, enjoying creation, engaging ministry) we get over focused on any one of His priorities for us, to the neglect of the others.

UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

That’s not possible! The question isn’t, what is your “very best”, the real question is “How much time, energy, effort would the Lord have me give to this?” The question is – What is “good enough”? If it’s “good enough” for the King – then believe me, it is indeed Good Enough. Even if you know it could be done better or it’s not good enough for others. Counseling for expats can help work through these elements.

POOR WORK AND PERSONAL BOUNDARIES

Boundaries, simply put, are how we use our “YES” and “NO” to manage our life. For reasons discussed above, many of us struggle to know when we should say YES and how to say NO. As a result, we commit ourselves to more than we should, and we allow others to control our lives.

This doesn’t feel good and leads to resentment, but we find it easier than disappointing or upsetting others.

We would rather avoid the conflict and neurotic guilt (false feelings of guilt when we haven’t violated God’s heart) than assert healthy boundaries.

INADEQUATE SELF-CARE

God has given you the job of caring for the most precious resource/asset you have – your body. Without it, you cannot complete the good works God has prepared in advance for you, nor use it to bring glory to and revelation of your God or serve others as His body. You also cannot enjoy the abundant life He has created you for, experiencing all the good gifts and blessings he intends for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the counselors?

Our counselors are trained and experienced Christian counselors with at least a Master’s or Doctorate Degree in a mental health-related field (i.e. Master’s in Counseling, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, etc.) In addition to their training as faith-based counselors, most are state-licensed mental health providers in the states they reside in. All our counselors are trained and supervised through our 2-Year post-graduate residency in Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling (NICC).

Who will be helping me?

After you sign up, we will match you to an available counselor who fits your needs and preferences. Different counselors have different schedules, pricing, and availability. It’s important to find the right person for your situation. We have found that we are able to provide a successful match the first time most of the time. However, if you start your counseling and feel your therapist is not a good fit, you can seamlessly switch counselors at any time, at no extra cost.

How much does it cost?

The average cost of counseling through MyCounselor.Online ranges from $220 to $390 per month and it is based on which counselor you choose to work with and how often you need to meet with them. Most clients see their counselor 2-3x a month. If you are facing an intense situation in your life, you may meet more frequently.  You can stop at any time, for any reason.

How will I communicate with my counselor?

You will meet with your counselor via secure, HIPAA compliant Zoom video conferencing. If you need to reschedule an appointment you can do so using the scheduling link in your appointment confirmation email or by contacting the receptionist team by phone or email.
