Founded in Berlin by therapists, the company has grown in the last year to a community of over 1500 practitioners speaking more than 90 languages. It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> is now quickly expanding across European expatriate cities and was recently ranked one of the top 50 fastest-growing startups out of Germany<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform has curated lists for therapy-seekers needing help with depression<\/a>, ADHD<\/a>, couples therapy<\/a> or LGBTQI+<\/a> related struggles. It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> also sets itself apart from other therapy platforms in that we truly want to promote services that are normally oh-so difficult to find in a foreign city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, our members also practise psychedelic integration therapy<\/a> and counselling for polyamory and consensual non-monogamy<\/a>. Our therapists also offer kink and BDSM<\/a> friendly services. Therapists on It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> are available in over 80 countries including Lisbon<\/a>, Vienna<\/a>, Hamburg<\/a>, <\/strong>and Munich<\/a><\/strong>. Also, our therapists speak almost languages, like German<\/a>, Spanish<\/a>, Portuguese<\/a><\/strong>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> came into life, those looking for the best therapy for expats or support with their mental health have been left to big American therapy tech brands such as BetterHelp, Headspace, Talkspace or Psychology Today. There\u2019s no denying these companies filled a gap for therapy seekers, particularly during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, today, as therapy goes back to in-person first, these platforms are becoming increasingly a part of the problem. Take Betterhelp, for example. Their frequent privacy issues have made headlines, and some users have even turned their negative experiences into TikTok tags and memes. Meanwhile, companies like Headspace sometimes forget that what they’re really selling is human connection, and a healthy therapist is vital to better therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> is different. We\u2019re the world\u2019s most diverse therapy platform, and most of our therapists are expatriates themselves who share some experiences with the people for whom they offer support. Besides that, most therapists on the platform offer in-person therapy as well as online assistance or digital nomad therapy to meet the needs of help seekers. It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> has a strategy of putting therapists first, offering better pay and more flexibility for the international community of freelancing therapists that make up their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are 5 of the reasons why expats in cities across are talking about It\u2019s Complicated<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s Complicated<\/em> has made a name for itself as the go-to platform for foreigners living abroad.

Recognising the evolving landscape of mental health support, we offer both in-person and online therapy options. After all, what truly matters is your comfort with the therapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are the pros and cons of each? Well, in-person therapy holds a timeless appeal. It provides a tangible and immediate connection. The significance of this face-to-face interaction, especially for expats craving a sense of closeness in their new environment, is high. Simultaneously, the platform acknowledges the practicality and convenience of online therapy, especially for those navigating busy schedules or residing in remote locations. Hence, we offer digital nomad therapy to those seeking it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therapists on It\u2019s Complicated<\/em> are available in over 80 countries including Lisbon<\/a>, Vienna<\/a>, Hamburg<\/a>, <\/strong>and Munich<\/a><\/strong>.
