Frequently Asked Questions

How does therapy work?

One or more initial consultations (probationary sessions) help clarify whether a psychodynamic treatment is a good fit. If we continue, sessions typically take place once or twice per week, 50 minutes each. We work on current difficulties as well as the emotional and relational background.

How long does therapy take?

This varies from person to person. Short-term therapy comprises about 24 sessions; long-term psychotherapy can extend to 100 sessions or more. We review progress regularly and adjust the process as needed.

Is therapy covered by health insurance?

I currently work with privately insured clients and self-pay clients. Billing via statutory health insurance is not available at the moment. If you have private or supplementary insurance, please check with your provider whether psychotherapy is reimbursed.

What does therapy cost?

For self-pay clients, the fee is €131.16 per 50-minute session (based on the German Schedule of Fees for Psychotherapists, GOP). Invoices are issued monthly and—where applicable—can be submitted to private or supplementary insurers.
