If there is a certain interaction and severity of symptoms, psychotherapy can make sense. As part of psychotherapy, I accompany my clients over a longer period of time.
​
​
Together we look at which coping styles have been developed over the course of life and which resources are currently available. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety or symptoms from the trauma spectrum often initially serve to satisfy important needs for protection, emotional integrity or security .
​
In the long term, however, other important needs remain unfulfilled by dealing with symptoms. On this basis, we will work together to find new ways of dealing with things and resources that will serve the individual's fundamental well-being.
​
The effective psychological method EMDR can be used as part of psychotherapy. We will clarify any questions that arise in a non-binding initial consultation.
Length of time
Psychotherapy usually lasts between 25 and 50 hours. In certain cases, an extension beyond this number of hours can be requested.
Fee
Billing in my private practice is based on the fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP).
Please note that I do not bill through statutory health insurance companies.
If you have private insurance, it is best to find out in advance under what conditions and to what extent your insurance will cover the costs of outpatient psychotherapy. After consultation, you can also cover the costs of the therapy yourself. All services are billed in accordance with the fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOÄ/GOP).
Please also note that I use an increase factor of 3.0 in accordance with the recommendation of the German Psychotherapists Association (DPtV). Most funding bodies cover the costs up to an increase factor of 2.3. You will have to cover any difference that may arise privately.
The hourly rate for one session (50 min.) is 133 € (factor 3.0) or 153.00 € (factor 3.5) depending on the severity of the illness and the effort required for treatment.
Appointment cancellations
Agreed appointments must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance. If this is not the case, the cancellation costs will be invoiced privately.
