About Me

My name is Cynthia Kunze and I am originally from the USA and have been living as an expat for over 25 years. I currently provide services to couples and individuals online and at my private practice in Straubing and Munich.

Before moving to Germany, I worked as a registered psychologist in Sydney, Australia in my own private practice and taught courses at UWS and UNSW. In the USA, I received my BA and MA in psychology and worked in treatment facilities for children, adolescents and adults as well as teaching psychology courses at universities. 

Areas of Specialization

I provide psychotherapy for children ages 9 years and up, individuals and couples at my private practice in Berlin and online. I am in Munich once a month to see clients there, as well.

The foundation of my psychological training is in Humanistic Psychology. My philosophical framework is structured by Humanistic Theory (e.g., Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, Sidney Jourard) and Poststructuralist Theory (e.g., Michel Foucault, Nikolas Rose, Judith Butler). I see everyone as an individual and not fitting into some box for their therapeutic needs. I do use various cognitive behavioural therapeutic techniques, particularly for those individuals that I feel will benefit from them.

Below is a list of concerns, problems or issues that I specialise in:
  • Relationship conflicts and distress for couples and individuals
  • Stress and Burnout in the workplace or at home
  • Excessive nervousness and dread
  • Body image concerns and self-confidence issues
  • Grief and loss (death, divorce/separation, life transitions)
  • Sadness, low mood, and/or lack of motivation & energy
  • Sexual, physical, emotional abusive experiences
  • Culture Shock-inc. loneliness and isolation
  • Self-esteem and self-worth deficiencies
  • Behavioural problems (school refusal, addictions, anger managment)
  • Parenting concerns/conflicts

Credentials

It is important that whenever you are seeking therapy, in person or on-line, that you are able to validate the credentials of the practitioner. Most credible and ethical psychologists, therapists and/or counsellors readily provide them for you. If they do not, it is probably in your best interest not to seek their services. If you would like to validate my registration as a psychologist, my registration is below and can be verified through the Health Department.

Reg. No. PSY0001190422 aus Psychotherapy (Heilpraktikergesetz)
