Therapy and Coaching for Globally Mobile Individuals
Are you ready to truly live your best adventure
(and feel aligned doing it)?
How can you feel ungrateful when you’re "living the ultimate adventure"?
Travel, living abroad, digital nomadism, or being an expat… This is what others dream of!
And while you love the life you’ve created, you can’t help but feel disconnected, like pieces of yourself are scattered across different places, never fully settling.
The excitement of following adventures comes with a quiet exhaustion and a feeling of being everywhere AND nowhere at the same time.
I get it. As a third-culture adult who has lived in 8 different countries and built a location-independent therapy practice, I’ve felt that fractured feeling too, stuck between worlds when I was supposed to be thriving.
But I’ve also learned that it’s possible to move from feeling fragmented to feeling whole - integrating the different parts of yourself and your experiences into a grounded sense of identity, no matter where you are.
What if, instead of pushing through feelings of unfulfillment, you could journey home to yourself and create pockets of belonging in any environment you travel to?

"Neeta and I met at the University of the South Pacific. She and I worked closely together on learning and teaching, research and community outreach. Neeta is a creative thinker. She puts people and relationships, and their well-being at the center of how she approaches work and life. As a result she is able to work with people from diverse contexts, find innovative solutions to complex challenges and bring people together to collaborate and support each other."

Meet Dr. Neeta (she/her/hers)
Hi, y’all! I am so pleased to virtually meet you. My name is Dr. Neeta, and I am a licensed psychologist and founder of Psychology Across Borders.
I bring 20+ years of experience, paired with a global and multicultural lens, to the mental health industry. Aside from my professional experience, I also bring my lived experience as a third-culture kid, expat of color (currently calling Cape Town home!), and cross-cultural understanding, having lived in 8 different countries, to my practice.
I believe therapy and coaching can give you the tools of self-compassion to feel comfortable with tensions and contradictions in your life, so you can move through cultural contexts, relationships, and situations with more understanding.
"Dr. Neeta has been a professional colleague for almost a decade. We started working together as postdoctoral fellows in trauma at a Veterans hospital. When I was the staff psychologist at the Houston Fire Department, she spent the summer months of her sabbatical working with firefighters/EMTs, training doctoral-level psychology students, and providing clinical and operational consultation. Although I regularly consult with Dr. Neeta, this experience is noteworthy, because I witnessed first-hand the impact she has on an organization in such a short period of time. She brings a unique perspective that is strengths-based and incorporates the context of intergenerational trauma and oppression. The firefighters who worked with her left each session feeling empowered, the students who trained under her felt inspired, and I felt rejuvenated."
