Psychotherapy in Berlin
In the course of the life span, every third person is affected by a psychological disorder. You are not alone!
Do not hesitate to contact me. 

The research shows: online therapy is effective.
​
You can conveniently use my psychotherapeutic treatment services from abroad or from the comfort of your home. You can also combine live session with online sessions. If possible, I do prefer to meet you in person for the first appointment and get to know you personally.

As a self-paying client, you are responsible for the costs of your psychotherapy treatment. This eliminates the formalities of a psychotherapy application and the registration of a diagnosis with an insurance company. You can start treatment quickly and easily.

The following costs may arise in each session::

• Initial consultation (50 min.): €134.06

• Each subsequent individual session (50 min.): €134.06 (behavioral therapy)

• Biographical anamnesis: €123.34, one-time fee at the beginning

• Assessment of psychopathological findings, if necessary: €33.52

• Psychological test diagnostics, if necessary: €75.75 per 3 tests, at the beginning, every 6 months and at the end of treatment

For a detailed list of all possible services, fee codes and increase factors, please refer to the fee schedule. I would also be happy to inform you during the initial consultation and answer any questions you may have.

If you have private health insurance and/or are eligible for civil service benefits (Beihilfe), you can start treatment quickly and easily.

Billing for psychotherapeutic services is based on the Fee Schedule for Psychotherapy (GOP) and is carried out via individual fee agreements. Invoices are issued monthly and are due within 2 weeks.

All GOP services are generally reimbursable by private health insurance companies as well as civil service benefits. However, the application procedure, the number of sessions covered, and the reimbursement amount vary depending on the insurance provider.

German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr)

As a conscript or professional soldier, you can directly schedule an initial consultation with me. For billing of the initial consultation and trial sessions to the health care provider, we require a cost assumption declaration (Form San/Bw/0218), which is issued by your military doctor. Please bring this form to the initial consultation. For more information, please visit this page.

Police (State, Federal)

If you are a member of the police force and insured through the health care system for police officers, you can directly schedule an initial consultation with me. We do not require any further documents initially. For more information, please visit this page.

As a private practice, I do not participate in contractually regulated therapy and therefore cannot usually bill the statutory health insurance companies. As a statutory insured person, you are generally required to seek psychotherapy from a therapist with a seat at the health insurance company. However, the demand for psychotherapy is very high and the number of colleagues with a seat at the health insurance company is very limited. As a result, long and unbearable waiting times often arise when the need for therapy is greatest.

And now the good news: If psychotherapy is urgently necessary and cannot be postponed, and you are unable to obtain a therapy spot with a therapist at the health insurance company within a reasonable waiting period (less than 3 months), the statutory health insurance companies are obligated to cover the costs of psychotherapeutic treatment in a private practice under the so-called cost reimbursement procedure according to §13 Paragraph 3, SGB V.

The application procedure is unfortunately quite bureaucratic and time-consuming. However, I have extensive experience with the cost reimbursement procedure and would be happy to support you.

For statutorily insured individuals, billing is done according to the fee schedule for psychotherapists. Since the statutory health insurance companies will likely not cover the full costs, there will be a copayment for statutorily insured individuals.

Even the initial consultation is chargeable. It is possible that it will be taken over by the health insurance companies retroactively. However, I cannot guarantee this.

Coaching is a psychological service that is paid for by the client themselves. Since coaching often serves professional development, the costs are tax-deductible.

More and more employers have recognized the positive effects of coaching on professional skills, mental health, and overall well-being. As a result, some employers are also covering the costs of coaching.

For self-payers:

• Single session | 50 minutes | €140

• Double session | 100 minutes | €260
