Guiding you from survival to wholehearted living
I’m Tina Michaela, a multicultural trauma therapist, psychological Counsellor, complex trauma specialist, and educator based in Vienna.
I offer therapy and training in English, German, and Chinese.
Through a calm, accepting, and shame-free approach, I help you reclaim your voice, rebuild trust, and rediscover aliveness after trauma.
Whether you’re healing from relational neglect, abuse, developmental or complex trauma (C-PTSD), or intercultural stress and disconnection, you’ll find a safe, attuned space here — where transformation begins.
