Miss Lauren Kraml

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

Verified

“I am a native English speaking therapist from California. I am compassionate and curious and work with individuals or couples, at either a centrally located counseling office in Amsterdam or online. As an American expat, I work mostly with other expats, helping them navigate life and relationships abroad.”

About Me

As a compassionate and curious therapist, I help expats navigate the unique challenges of life and relationships abroad. Being an American expat myself, I understand the complexities of building a new life away from home. I work with individuals and couples, offering a space to explore your experiences deeply. Sessions are available at my centrally located Amsterdam office or conveniently online, supporting you wherever you are.

Approach

Sessions feel practical and exploratory, meeting you where you are while gently challenging patterns that keep you stuck. I blend attentive listening with focused questions, short experiments to try between meetings, and clear reflections so insights land in everyday life. We track small shifts in mood, anxiety, and connection, using those moments as the guide for next steps. This approach tends to suit expats and couples looking for steady, collaborative change.
