Trained in clinical psychology in New York, I offer English-speaking therapy for individuals and couples in Stockholm.
Tama Lane, Ph.D.
People come to therapy for many reasons. You may be navigating a major transition, struggling with anxiety or the effects of past experiences, questioning parts of your identity, or finding yourself caught in relationship patterns that are difficult to change.
Living across cultures can add another layer. Even a life that appears settled from the outside may involve dislocation, loneliness, competing identities, relationship strain, or the feeling that you are no longer quite sure where—or how—you belong.
I work with adults and couples from international and Swedish backgrounds, including expats and cross-cultural couples. Many come to therapy wanting to understand what is happening beneath the surface, work through patterns that keep repeating, and create meaningful change in how they relate to themselves and to others.
My approach is emotionally attuned, culturally informed, and grounded in both psychological science and lived experience. Therapy with me is thoughtful and engaged: a space to look honestly at what is happening, make sense of the experiences and dynamics shaping your life, and develop new ways of relating and responding.
Modern therapy for complex lives.

English-speaking therapy in Stockholm for people seeking greater clarity, deeper self-understanding, and new ways forward.
My Approach to Therapy
Integrative & Evidence-Based
I offer therapy for individuals and couples using an integrative approach grounded in clinical psychology. My work draws from psychodynamic, relational, emotionally focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, allowing therapy to respond to the person rather than follow a single method.
I pay close attention to patterns—particularly those that may once have helped you adapt but no longer serve you. Together, we work to understand what shaped them, how they are showing up now, and what might allow something different to emerge.
Thoughtful, Active & Engaged
Therapy with me is collaborative and engaged. I listen closely, ask questions, offer perspective, and help make connections between what you understand intellectually and what happens emotionally and relationally in everyday life.
Insight matters, but insight alone is not always enough. Our work is also about developing greater flexibility in how you respond—to yourself, to other people, and to the circumstances you cannot always control—so that change becomes something you can experience and live, not simply understand.
No two people arrive in therapy with the same history, relationships, strengths, or needs. I adapt our work accordingly—whether you need focused support around something happening now or space for deeper, longer-term exploration.
The pace and direction of therapy develop through our work together, with attention to what feels most important, what may be difficult to put into words, and what begins to shift over time.

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers space to understand what may be happening beneath anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, or periods of significant change. Together, we explore the experiences and patterns shaping your emotional life and work toward greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
Men’s Wellness
Men often enter therapy carrying pressures that have been difficult to name—around identity, relationships, achievement, fatherhood, masculinity, or the expectation to manage things alone. Therapy offers a space to understand those pressures while developing greater emotional flexibility, connection, and choice.
Couples Therapy
I work with couples experiencing recurring conflict, emotional distance, communication difficulties, betrayal, or major transitions. Therapy helps us slow down what happens between you, understand the needs and patterns beneath the conflict, and develop more connected and sustainable ways of relating.
Trauma-Informed Care
Past experiences can continue to shape how you feel, relate, respond to stress, and protect yourself in the present. Trauma-informed therapy helps make sense of these responses with care and context, while supporting greater safety, integration, and freedom in how you move through your life.
Where We Meet
You’re welcome to meet with me in person in central Stockholm, Sveavägen 35, or online from anywhere in Sweden. If you’re living abroad, coaching services may also be available.
Some clients value the grounding presence of in-person sessions; others appreciate the ease and flexibility of virtual meetings. We’ll decide together what works best for your life and schedule.
Wherever we meet, our work remains secure and confidential.
