Lina Kinzenbach

Lina Kinzenbach is a doctoral student and research associate at Philipps University of Marburg, affiliated with the Department of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (Fb04) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hanna Christiansen. She holds an M.Sc. in Psychology from Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen and has been actively involved in research since 2023.

Her research interests center on mental health literacy and coping strategies within families where a parent suffers from mental illness. Using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, she aims to understand how such families perceive and manage psychological disorders, ensuring their lived experiences are reflected in research outcomes.

Lina's work is part of ongoing research projects including COMPARE and 'Starkes Ich', which focus on supporting children and strengthening resilience in high-risk family environments. While no publications are currently listed, her contributions to these initiatives highlight her engagement in clinically relevant psychological inquiry.

She is currently in training to become a certified child and adolescent psychotherapist at Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, a path she began in 2024, complementing her academic research with clinical development.

Lina has previously served as a research associate at Philipps University of Marburg from 2023 to 2024. She is actively involved in research grants and training programs related to child mental health, though specific grant names are not mentioned. She is part of the AG Christiansen research group, contributing to its mission of advancing evidence-based practices in child and adolescent mental health.
