Hello, I’m Lina.

‍

I am a Counseling Psychologist based in Vienna, Austria, working with teens and adults in international and cross-cultural contexts. I have over 25 years of experience supporting anxiety, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, and life transitions, with a specialization in suicide prevention and crisis support within internationally mobile communities.

‍

I hold degrees in Psychology and Counseling Psychology from the UK and USA and am currently completing a doctoral degree in Psychology focused on youth suicide prevention. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based, integrating mindfulness and solution-focused counseling tailored to each client. As a Third Culture Kid myself, I bring deep understanding of cultural transitions and identity complexity.

‍

I work in English and German, am fluent in French, and have basic skills in Spanish and Dutch.

‍

I live in Vienna with my therapy dog, Josie, who helps create a calm and welcoming space. For more details about me, check out my website: linapaumgarten.com
