About me
Hello! I'm Kotryna, a psychologist originally from Lithuania, now based in Germany since 2016. With years of experience here, I deeply understand the unique challenges expats face. I hold a bachelor's, master's, and PhD in psychology, specializing in Schema Therapy and trauma therapy. Committed to ongoing growth, I regularly attend workshops to expand my skills. My specialties include crisis and trauma, anxiety, relationships, and stress management. Currently, I counsel refugees and provide online support to expats and Lithuanians worldwide. Understanding the complexities of cross-cultural experiences and the pressures of living abroad, I offer empathetic and effective guidance. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationships, or stress, I'm here to support you on your path to well-being.

Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in a deep understanding of scientific findings and evidence-based practices, which I've gained through my academic background and research experience. This knowledge motivates me to integrate effective therapeutic approaches into my work.
At the core of my practice is a humanistic and client-centered stance. I prioritize understanding each client's unique needs and experiences, adapting my approach accordingly. My diverse training allows me to tailor interventions to suit individual circumstances.
When necessary to uncover the root of a problem and its causes, I employ analytic approaches. Once the client gains insight into these factors, we can focus on implementing behavioral changes, drawing on my training in schema therapy.
I am particularly passionate about mindfulness training, experiential techniques, and body-focused therapies. I frequently utilize these methods, especially in cases involving traumatic experiences and anxiety, to facilitate healing and promote emotional resilience.
