Wren

Counselor & School Psychologist

Hi! My name is Wren Knowles Schmidt and I am a counselor and school psychologist. Over the past 18+ years, I have been working with children and youth in a variety of educational and health settings. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont in 2005. After moving to Berlin in 2006, I gained experience tutoring children with learning differences, teaching and leading teams in early childhood, as well as counselling children and youth coping with psychological disorders. I earned my master’s degree in Education from the University of Bath in 2017, while leading a team of early childhood educators. For my master’s thesis, I focused on bilingualism in education. I am passionate about language learning and better understanding multilingualism and multiculturalism.


I have worked with families and clients within in-patient and out-patient clinics and medical practices, conducting psychoeducational and behavioral assessments and practicing therapeutic interventions using cognitive behavioral therapy methods. My focus is on emotional regulation, mindfulness and building resilience through analytical self-reflection and supporting lasting positive behavioral changes. In addition, I enjoy helping children and teens find creative outlets that bring them joy and balance in their lives.


I come from the US and speak English and German. When not working and spending time with my family, I enjoy practicing yoga, attending life drawing classes, baking and reading.
