Having such or any other overwhelming symptoms, it is beneficial to receive professional support – I am glad you found your way here.

About Me

My name is Lis Breitling. I provide psychological counseling, therapy and crisis intervention for individuals and couples in English and German at my private practice in Munich and online. I also coach adolescents and adults for personal and professional growth.

I lived and worked in the U.S. for 20 years. Having moved between continents twice, I can relate well to what it feels like to start over – from missing certain foods to feeling isolated. I am intimately familiar with both worlds and have worked with individuals from all walks of life and multicultural backgrounds.

Qualifications - Therapeutic Style - Areas of Specialization

I studied pre-clinical medicine at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. In addition, I hold a B.A. in Philosophy and Fine Arts from LMU. I completed my psychology training at ZfN in Munich, with extra training in crisis and grief counseling. It goes without saying that I attend professional supervision on a regular basis and undergo further training to stay up to date, currently finishing the last year of a three-year Somatic Experiencing® training program.

My therapeutic approach is primarily based on humanistic psychology, combining talk therapy with components of crisis intervention, grief counseling, and trauma therapy, as well as ‘Inner Child’ work and family constellations.

Following are a few examples of problems, issues or concerns I specialize in:
  • Grief and loss (death, divorce/separation, terminal diagnosis)
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Existential questions (e.g. aging, meaning, illness)
  • Identity formation (self-concept, self-worth)
  • Life transitions, starting over
  • Culture shock incl. loneliness and isolation
  • Relationship conflicts and distress
  • Trauma (physical and/or emotional abusive experiences)
  • Sadness, low mood, and/or lack of motivation & energy
  • Stress and Burnout in the workplace or at home
  • Personal and professional development (adolescents and adults)
