— what this is

A forming community of international mental health professionals for international people.

For the ones whose inner life runs in more than one language. Who finish their sentences in whichever tongue has the right word. Who have never belonged to one place completely — and are at home in the in-between.

Different mother tongues. Different countries of training. One thing in common — we have all, at some point, been the foreigner in the room.

At launch, IMHC opens with mental health professionals licensed in Austria. International professionals from elsewhere — EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland, and beyond — are joining the waitlist for our second phase. Every credential is verified at source before any client is matched.
a letter, in part

I built this because I lived it.

My father was from a German family. My mother was raised in Australia — by a New Caledonian nurse, in a patchwork of cultures, religions, and languages. I grew up between worlds, finishing my sentences in whichever language had the right word for the thing I was trying to say.

Vienna is full of people who live the same way. Students, diplomats, refugees, partners of partners, children who grew up here but dream in another tongue. There was nowhere for them to go. Not really.

Then I began to meet the others. Psychologists, psychotherapists, clinicians — all international, all multilingual, all asking the same question I was asking: why doesn't something like this exist yet? So we started building it. Together.

And here we are — nearly open.

If you have ever sat in a waiting room and felt slightly foreign to yourself — whatever the reason, whatever the language — this place is being built for you.
