About us

We are a team for mental health professionals dedicated to helping anyone seeking support. We offer comprehensive services to ensure the best health and well-being for our clients.

The European Institute for Mental Health

The European Institute for Mental Health is an interdisciplinary center for mental health and education in the 21st century. Our mission is to offer scientifically grounded, culturally sensitive, and practice-oriented support in all matters of psychological and emotional well-being—whether for individuals, couples or families, and organizations.

Our Approach

We believe: Mental health is not a fixed state, but a relational process. It lives in the way we connect—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

We integrate perspectives from psychotherapy, sexology, trauma and attachment theory, systemic therapy, and modern psychology. Our goal is to engage with complex human experiences—such as intimacy, identity, crisis, or transformation—with depth, openness, and respect.

What Sets Us Apart

Evidence-based psychotherapy with heart and integrity

Sex therapy & couple therapy for deeper connection and self-understanding

Research & training that bridge practice and theory

Multilingual work in a European context (German, English, Bulgarian)

Specialization in contemporary topics like digital intimacy, gender diversity, relationship ethics, and mental resilience

Who We Serve

Our services are aimed at individuals, couples, professionals, and organizations who are not only seeking symptom relief—but also meaning, self-efficacy, and new possibilities.

Whether facing acute crises, relationship conflicts, or a desire for personal growth—we meet people not with labels, but with curiosity.

We're a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do and dedicated to delivering the best results for our clients.
