A space for international families in Berlin.

Here, your child can find a calm, supportive space to express themselves, build confidence, and feel more at home in their new world.
Christina Kedaj, M.A. LPC
Christina Kedaj is an American, English-speaking therapist specializing in work with expat children, teens, and their families in Berlin. With over 10 years of clinical experience, including 6 years supporting international clients, she understands the unique challenges that come with growing up between cultures.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the United States and is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Texas state license (LPC #79805).
Christina began her career working with women and children affected by domestic violence, developing a strong foundation in trauma-informed care.
Today, her work focuses on supporting children and adolescents navigating anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation difficulties, and the stress of relocation and adjustment. She offers a warm, supportive space where young people can express themselves freely, build confidence, and feel more at ease in themselves and their environment.
Her approach is person-centered and strengths-based, integrating Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for younger children and developmentally appropriate, evidence-based support for teens. Christina also works collaboratively with parents, offering guidance and support throughout the therapeutic process.
Her work is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the expat experience.
Christina's understanding of the expat experience is grounded in being an expat herself. Christina is married to a German and has a German-American toddler at home.
