As a psychotherapist certified in cognitive behavioural therapy for adults I treat patients with public or private health insurance in cases of psychological disorders, stress-related conditions or crises.
Besides individual therapy (in german as well as in english) I offer coaching, online-based consultations and group therapy.
Please contact me via email or phone for inquiries or scheduling appointments:

Individual getting to know session before group participation (covered by health insurance) mandatory
Therapy and consultations online
Therapy sessions can also be conducted conveniently online – securely via data protection-compliant video platforms. Online therapy is particularly suitable if you wish to remain flexible or if in-person appointments are not feasible. In terms of content, it does not differ from a regular session at my practice and provides the same level of professional support. However, it is recommended to have at least one initial in-person meeting in order to get to know each other and to clarify all necessary formalities.
Coaching
In coaching, I support you in gaining clarity about your personal or professional goals and in developing concrete steps toward change. Unlike psychotherapy, coaching does not focus on the treatment of mental health disorders, but rather on strengthening resources, enhancing self-efficacy, and fostering personal growth. Coaching can help you make decisions with greater confidence, manage stress more effectively, and gain new perspectives.
Process
Feel free to contact me for a first appointment regarding individual/group therapy or coaching.
Billing
I’m able to invoice with public and private health insurances. You’re also welcome to cover the costs yourself if you don’t want your health insurance to know about the therapy. In that case there is no diagnosis needed.
With public insurance the first four to five sessions are covered without the approval of your health insurance. After these sessions we would have to file forms for cost coverage to your health insurance.
Depending on the amount of sessions (short- or longterm therapy) and previous therapies in the last two years before filing the forms the coverage of costs is possible with or without a detailed report.
Please contact your private health insurance before the first session to make sure what costs are covered for psychotherapeutic sessions. Depending on your individual contract with the health insurance the reimbursement can be individually different. Employees with state aid insurance and members of the armed forces are also entitled for cost coverage at a private psychotherapy practice.
The billing with private health insurance and when covering the costs yourself is in accordance with the Gebührenordnung für Psychotherapeuten (GOP) which is recognized by all private health insurances. The Bundespsychotherapeutenkammer, Bundesärztekammer, the state aid system of federal and state government as well as the association of private health insurance have agreed on the new billing recommendations as of July 1st 2024.
The cost of a regular session (50 minutes) is in accordance to the GOP. If necessary and depending on your individual contract with your health insurance there could be additional costs (for report writing and other services).
The cost of a coaching session (50 minutes) is normally at 160€.
