Lectures, Talks, Seminars and Trainings

Mag. Anna Binder-Kita is an experienced psychotherapist in private practice in Vienna. She practices Integrative Gestalt Therapy, offering comprehensive therapeutic support. Her areas of expertise include working with neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with ADHD and autism, as well as providing inclusive and adaptive therapy for people with disabilities. Additionally, she specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, personality disorders, and attachment disorders.

 

A particular focus of her work is incorporating the neurodivergent perspective in therapy, especially when working with clients on the autism spectrum. Over several years, she has created a sensory-sensitive and inclusive space in her practice to better meet the unique needs of neurodiverse clients. This carefully designed environment helps remove barriers and fosters a sense of safety and understanding for her clients.

 

In addition to her therapeutic work, Mag. Binder-Kita regularly delivers lectures and seminars on topics such as the diagnosis and treatment of neurodiversity, as well as working with personality and eating disorders. She presents her knowledge in both German and English, offering online and in-person talks at conferences, symposiums, and academic settings (including at VÖPP and extramural psychiatric institutions).

 

In her research, particularly within her current doctoral studies, she focuses on neurodiversity, autism spectrum disorders, and the “Double Empathy Problem.” Her scientific goal is to improve awareness and understanding of the specific needs neurotypical professionals must address when working with neurodivergent clients.

 

Mag. Anna Binder-Kita is a highly regarded speaker among professionals, contributing valuable insights to the field of psychotherapy, especially regarding neurodiversity and mental health. Through her practical and evidence-based presentations, she plays a significant role in promoting professionalism and sensitivity in therapeutic practice.

Podcast Episode “Couchgespräche” – Insights into Autism in Adults

At the end of 2023, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the podcast “Couchgespräche” by the Association of Austrian Psychotherapists (VÖPP), along with esteemed colleague Mag. Marion Leeb, child and adolescents therapist, specialised in Autism . In this engaging episode, I discussed a topic that is particularly close to my heart: Autism in Adults.

It was very important to me to highlight the specific challenges and needs of adults with autism. This topic is of great significance, as there are still many misconceptions and insufficient information about how autism manifests in adulthood and what kind of support individuals may need.

I warmly invite you to listen to the episode and learn more about this important subject. Here is the link to the episode:
