Graciela de Mussini, drs., Psychologist NIP (English, Spanish)
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 was born in Argentina and was educated at a British Bilingual School in Buenos Aires. After graduating from university as a Psychologist, I worked at public hospitals and a number of secondary schools in Buenos Aires and later on at a chemical dependency treatment center in Houston, Texas. Working with children, adolescents and their families has always been my preferred field. I strongly believe in prevention and try to approach problems from different angles. Working and living in Argentina, the USA and now once again in The Netherlands has broadened my knowledge and understanding of human psychology. Being an expatriate spouse and having raised two children of my own "away from home" I am fully aware of the challenges of a high mobility life style with regard to children."
