Professional Psychotherapy Services for Expats, Migrants & Bilingual Couples: Russian-English Speaking Therapist

Marriage to a foreigner is becoming increasingly common in today’s world. However, behind the romance of intercultural relationships often lie serious challenges: language barriers, cultural differences, and emotional difficulties.

Main Challenges for Bilingual Couples


1) Language Barrier. Even with good command of a common language, nuances and emotional shades are lost.

2) Cultural Differences. Different traditions, values, and behavioral norms can cause misunderstandings.

3) Emotional Distance. Difficulties in expressing feelings in a non-native language increase alienation.

4) Different Expectations. Variations in perceptions of roles within the family and distribution of responsibilities.
