Tama Lane, Ph.D.
New York–trained clinical psychologist offering English-speaking therapy in Stockholm.
I work with individuals and couples navigating life transitions, identity, relationships, and the emotional complexity that often comes with living across cultures and expectations.
My clinical perspective has been shaped across multiple countries and settings—from psychiatric emergency rooms in Chicago to trauma recovery programs in New York and specialized centers supporting survivors of torture in Amman and New York City. These experiences deepened my understanding of resilience, attachment, and the emotional legacies people carry.
Today, my work focuses on therapy that is emotionally honest, culturally aware, and grounded in both science and lived experience.
Culturally aware. Internationally Informed.
Modern therapy for complex lives.
Providing English-speaking therapy for international residents, expats, and professionals seeking an English speaking therapist in Stockholm.
My Approach to Therapy
Integrative & Evidence-Based
I offer therapy for individuals and couples using an integrative, evidence-based approach grounded in clinical psychology.
My work blends psychodynamic insight, emotionally focused therapy, relational-systemic frameworks, and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to support both deep exploration and practical, sustainable change.
I incorporate tools that strengthen reflection, emotional awareness, and clarity—while helping clients understand the patterns and protective strategies shaping their emotions and relationships.
A Modern Approach to Emotional Health
My approach is active, attuned, and grounded in what research—and real life—show actually helps people heal.
I work with you in real time to understand what’s happening emotionally, make meaning of it, interrupt patterns that no longer serve you, and build the skills and capacity needed for everyday life and meaningful change.
Tailored to Your Needs
Clients often come to therapy during moments of disruption—relationship ruptures, emotional distance, major life transitions, identity shifts, work-related stress, unresolved trauma, or the exhaustion that comes from holding too much for too long. Whether you’re seeking focused support or deeper, longer-term exploration, I adapt our work to the emotional, relational, and environmental realities shaping your life. Together, we make sense of the patterns affecting your well-being, create space for what has been overwhelming or unspoken, and work toward the steadiness, clarity, and connection you want in your life.
Culturally Fluent & Globally Influenced
With clinical experience spanning New York, France, Jordan, and now Stockholm, I bring a global lens to therapy. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I pay close attention to how history, family systems, and culture shape emotional life—especially the layers we inherit, the identities we negotiate, and the relational patterns we learn long before we can name them.

Therapy Support Services
Couples Therapy
I support partners seeking greater emotional closeness, clearer communication, and repair after rupture—whether rooted in conflict, betrayal, stress, or long-standing disconnection.
Together, we slow down what’s happening between you, uncover deeper needs beneath the arguments, and rebuild a way of relating that feels safer and more fulfilling. My practice is inclusive of LGBTQIA+ relationships and partnerships exploring non-monogamy or open relationship structures.
Individual Therapy
I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, relational stress, and the lasting effects of trauma.
Together, we slow down and make sense of recurring patterns—especially those shaped by early attachment experiences and family systems. I also work with personality dynamics, neurodivergence, and high-functioning distress—often expressed through chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, or carrying too much alone.
Our work helps you respond with more clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
Men’s Wellness
A space for men navigating identity, emotional resilience, and the silent weight of performance, legacy, and expectation.
Whether facing stress, emotional shutdown, intimacy struggles, fatherhood, or cultural pressures around masculinity, therapy offers a grounded opportunity for deeper insight and authentic connection. Many men present with anxiety, anger, low mood, or relational difficulties—often masked by achievement, self-reliance, or withdrawal.
Here, strength and vulnerability can coexist.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma is rarely a story of the past; it lives in the present—it shows up in how you think, feel, relate, and protect yourself. It can appear as anxiety, shutdown, irritability, over-achievement, emotional distance, or a constant sense of being “on guard.
My trauma-informed approach centers on safety, clarity, and integration—understanding how earlier experiences continue to shape your emotional and relational life. Together, we work to lessen trauma’s ongoing impact and build a steadier, more anchored sense of self.
Where We Meet
You’re welcome to meet with me in person in central Stockholm 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, confidential, and steady.
