Rieke Herrmann Marzouki

Rieke speaks English and German and draws on five years of professional practice alongside a longer personal background supporting people through conflict and loss. She centers sessions on what each person needs right now, listening first and then working with clients to set clear goals.

Therapy may focus on communication skills, coping strategies for anxiety or anger, or ways to rebuild trust after painful events. She uses tools from the Gottman Method alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to guide those conversations.

Rieke also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when clients need concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

These methods are chosen to match the problem at hand and the client’s preference. Her work includes support around parenting strain, grief, addictions, eating issues, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

Sessions balance practical steps with space to process feelings. Rieke aims to make progress understandable and manageable, one step at a time.

She encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to see the first appointment as an experiment. Together with each client she reviews what’s helping and what needs to shift, and then adjusts the plan as needed.
