Dr. Marjorie Kinney, PhD

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST | HYPNOTHERAPIST | LECTURER | COACH

Hello! I’m Marjorie — a mental health coach dedicated to helping you build resilience, self-trust, and emotional balance.

​

My journey began with a master’s degree in counseling psychology, where I gained a strong foundation in traditional talk therapy. During my doctoral studies in clinical psychology, I deepened my understanding of the human mind through research and learned how to integrate the latest scientific evidence into my coaching work.

​

Today, I focus on supporting people through life transitions, stress, depression, and self-doubt, using a blend of mental health coaching, mindfulness, NLP, and hypnosis.

​

In addition to my coaching practice, I also specialize in maternal mental health, including Hypnobirthing and birth trauma — an area close to my heart as a mother of three.

​

Originally from Wisconsin, USA, I have been living in Germany for the past 20 years. I’m passionate about helping others navigate their mental health journeys with clarity and confidence, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

​

"To heal ourselves, we must unite magic with science." - Carly A. Hammerschlag, M.D.

ADDITIONAL PROJECTS

International Mental Health Network for Expatriates (MENTAL-HEALTH.NETWORK) is a registered charity based in Germany. We have a deep understanding of the mental health issues that expatriates face, as we have experienced them firsthand. We are familiar with the sense of isolation and longing that comes with leaving one’s home country and adapting to life in a foreign place. Our team offers crucial assistance and empowering guidance to individuals who are facing challenges such as language barriers, cultural shock, intercultural conflicts, prejudice, bullying, and abuse. Our team is dedicated to promoting mental wellness and supporting the expatriate community in overcoming the obstacles they may encounter while living abroad.
