Process & Fees

From your first call to a regular session — here is what to expect and what it costs.

How therapy unfolds with us

  1. Step 1

    Inquiry

    Reach out via the form, by email, or by phone. Within two working days I get back to you and propose a slot for a free 15-minute first consultation.

  2. Step 2

    First consultation

    15 minutes on the phone. You describe in your own words what brings you here. We clarify whether I am the right therapist for you — if not, I help with a referral.

  3. Step 3

    Probatory sessions

    Two to four trial sessions (50 minutes each). We assess whether the work fits, clarify the diagnosis and submit the application to your insurer.

  4. Step 4

    Therapy

    Weekly sessions across 24 to 60 appointments (short- or long-term therapy). We work structurally on your goals — and regularly review whether the direction is right.

Fees & coverage

The practice is licensed with statutory insurers. We clarify which option applies to you in the first consultation.

Statutory insurance (GKV)

Consultation, probatory sessions and therapy are billed directly to your insurer. No out-of-pocket cost for you. All you need is your insurance card.

Private insurance

Billing according to the German fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP). Reimbursement depends on your tariff — please clarify in advance. We invoice you directly.

Civil-servant aid (Beihilfe)

We bill according to GOP. The Beihilfe office reimburses a share (typically 50–70 %). Your private top-up insurance covers the remainder.

Self-paying

€110 per 50-minute session. The first consultation is free for self-payers, too. On request you receive an invoice with diagnosis if you want to submit it to insurance later.

Let's talk.

The first consultation is 15 minutes long, by phone, free of charge. You don't need to prepare anything.
