Psychotherapy and counseling

As a psychodynamic child and adolescent psychotherapist, I offer discrimination-sensitive and transcultural psychotherapy for children, adolescents and young adults aged 3 to 21. Depending on age and needs, I also actively involve caregivers in the therapeutic process.

In a safe and non-judgmental setting, I support children and adolescents in coping with crises, understanding inner conflicts and growing in their personal development. Especially in the transition from childhood to adolescence, young people face many different challenges: puberty, pressure to perform at school, finding their identity and social conflicts can be unsettling and stressful.

With younger children in particular, I place great importance on close cooperation with the parents and shape the sessions through play therapy. From the age of 15, I also work with adolescents and young adults without involving their parents, if they wish.

Areas of treatment

• Depression
• Anxieties and phobias
• Emotional disorders
• Stress due to problems at school (bullying, pressure to perform)
• Attention and concentration disorders (ADD and ADHD)

• Self-harming behavior and difficulties with emotion regulation
• Gender incongruence
• Attachment and relationship disorders
• Wetting and soiling (enuresis and encopresis)
• Psychosomatic complaints

Fees: Statutory health insurance (reimbursement), private health insurance, Beihilfe, youth welfare office (Jugendamt) or self-payment.

Parents are their children's most important caregivers — and often the first to sense that something is wrong. In parent counseling, we take time for your questions, worries and uncertainties.

Counseling is possible alongside your child's therapy, but also when your child is not in treatment themselves.

Fees: Counseling is not covered by health insurance and is provided as a self-funded service.

In a small group, adolescents experience that they are not alone with what they are going through. They can listen to one another, have new experiences in contact with peers and try things out in a protected setting.

This is based on my additional qualification in psychodynamic group psychotherapy. I am happy to provide information about current groups and available places on request.

For adults, I offer psychotherapy under the Heilpraktikergesetz (HeilprG). Here too, I work psychodynamically, transculturally and in a discrimination-sensitive way.

Possible concerns include, for example, crises and life transitions, anxiety, depressive moods, strain from stress, questions of identity, or experiences of racism and discrimination.

Fees: Treatment is provided as a self-pay service. Coverage by statutory or private health insurance cannot be guaranteed.

Conflicts, crises and changes often affect not just one person but the whole web of relationships. In couples and family therapy, we look together at patterns, relationships and needs, and search for ways to talk with one another well again.

Possible concerns

• Recurring conflicts and communication difficulties
• Crises and upheavals in family life
• Strain on the family due to a family member's illness
• Separation and reorganizing as a family

Fees: Couples and family therapy is not covered by health insurance and is provided as a self-funded service.

By arrangement, therapy and counseling are also possible online by video — for example, when getting to the practice is difficult at the moment or when appointments fit better into everyday life this way.

Whether an online setting suits your concerns is something we discuss together in the first conversation.

Therapy and counseling are available in German and English.
