Psychotherapy

Are you going through a crisis?

Are you experiencing mood swings, anxiety, compulsions, or noticing changes in your sense of well-being or perception?

“Our system is built to have emotions”

 

It’s completely normal for our emotions to become intense—especially during particularly stressful life events—and for their impact on our thoughts and actions to feel overwhelming. In such times, we often feel “taken over,” and our attention becomes fixated on the fight against what we don’t want to face—perhaps an event whose acceptance feels too painful. We fight against the feelings we don’t want and try to get rid of the thoughts that trouble us. This puts us in a vicious cycle, and what would actually help doesn’t seem intuitive: accepting the current state.

Acceptance is just one of many skills taught in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I would be happy to support you in learning these skills and to provide the space and guidance you need.

Coverage by Health Insurance

As a licensed psychotherapist registered in the medical register, treatment can be billed through private health insurance or Beihilfe.

Fees are based on the official fee schedule for psychotherapy (GOP) and vary depending on the complexity and scope of treatment. Typically, costs range from €120 to €144 per session.

If your private insurance does not fully cover this amount, the difference will be billed privately. If this presents a challenge, we can usually find a solution—this can be discussed over the phone or during the initial session.

Important Note on Public Insurance:

Choosing to work under public health insurance (Kassensitz) comes with many structural hurdles. As I do not hold a Kassensitz, billing through statutory health insurance is unfortunately not possible.

Self-Pay Option

If coverage through insurance is not possible or not desired, you can also pay for sessions privately.
