Who is Evelyn?

My first career was as a certified kindergarten teacher in the late 1990s.

During my university studies, I worked as a disability carer for severely disabled people.

I received my diploma in natural sciences department psychology at the renowned University of Vienna (founded in 1365). Vienna itself is the capital of Austria; it lies in the east of the country on the Danube River. I completed my PhD degree in Innsbruck (equivalent to US PhD), a small city surrounded by high mountains in Tyrol in Austria.

At the beginning of my training, the focus was on the children and youth sector, but it continued to expand due to the different fields of activity in which I had to do.

On the Austrian Ministry of Health’s list of psychotherapists, I am registered since 2006. Since 2019 I am also licensed psychotherapist/counselor and registered in the medical register in Bavaria/Germany.

In Austria and Germany, I work(ed) as a psychotherapist (licensed counselor) in my own psychotherapy practice and in institutions (employment, voluntary work and internship). My professional experience there consists of working with families, couples, children and young people; multiple traumatized refugee victims; people with life-threatening illnesses and people with severe psychiatric illnesses. The fields of my work contained child protection, hospice, palliative care, oncology, psychiatry, psychosomatic.

Here in the United States, I reflected my professional life, after being therapist for so many years. Due a family situation of dyslexia I completed my education as a dyslexic trainer (American Dyslexia Association& EÖDL).

I am not a registered psychotherapist here. So, I do not offer psychotherapy. I use my personal experience and psychological knowledge in the sessions with you.

As a consultant, a companion, I will accompany you and help with relief discussions.

I respect and think highly of licensed psychotherapists, this is why I have contact with licensed psychotherapists and will give you recommendations to contact them if it seems to me that there is a psychotherapy request.

I am married, vegetarian since 1989 because of the love to animals and I have four children.
