I just moved to Taipei but have been an expat for over 2 years now. I know a lot of people tend to look for counseling resources as they deal with culture shock, feelings of isolation, treating their existing disorders, etc. I just wanted to share something that really changed my life and might help someone out there. (I promise this isn’t a paid endorsement; I just care about other expats!).
Recently, online counseling resources have been on the rise, and for an expat who keeps moving around the world, it’s a lifesaver. In the service I use, you can message your counselor anytime you want instead of waiting for a weekly appointment. It’s unlimited and you can attach video or audio files if you don’t feel like typing things out. You can also make as many video chat appointments as you want. All of this is for one monthly fee, and you can even apply for financial aid.
There might be other services like it, but the one I use personally is http://www.betterhelp.com .
Keep in mind that they do not prescribe medication or the like, but for counseling, they have been great for me, since I know that I won’t have to upend and change people as I move around the world.
Cheers!
