Margarita Merchan Price, CBT Psychologist NIP (Spanish, German)
Everyday life can throw many challenges our way. For expats, there is an added dimension: adjustments to a new culture and work environment can lead to new hurdles and aggravation of previous problems.
The IHCH Counselling Services offers an experienced group of psychologists and counsellors to help children, adolescents, adults, couples and families manage their difficulties. Psychotherapy is offered in various languages in order to facilitate a comfortable therapeutic context.
The psychologists and counsellors are expats themselves, and besides offering various specialties in their field, come with their own experience of living as an expat.
You can view the various areas of work, and languages offered, by looking at the individual profiles of our group of psychologists. Our work includes treatment for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, stress, adjustment difficulties, work-related issues, loss and bereavement. Various special services are offered including educational testing, home visits for children, and therapy/counselling for well women issues and cancer patients.

"I believe that a decision to seek help from psychotherapist may sometimes be difficult to make. It is even more difficult to find such help in a foreign country where your mother tongue is not spoken. My most important goal at the IHCH is to offer expats the possibility to get professional psychological help and counselling in the language they are comfortable talking in. Therefore I offer counselling services in Spanish and German."
Margarita Merchan Price has been an expat herself for the past 12 years, living in the Netherlands, Luxemburg and Germany. This experience enables her in particular to understand the situations that expats as individuals and as families may encounter.
