It might seem like private therapy is just an extra expense, especially when insurance-covered options exist. But in reality, it offers much more freedom and flexibility:

✔ No months-long waiting lists

Finding a therapist through public health insurance (GKV) can take 3–6 months or even longer. In private practice, you can usually start therapy almost immediately.

✔ The flexibility to work integratively

Therapists under public insurance must strictly follow one method. In my practice, I can combine techniques and tailor the approach to your actual needs, from CBT and ACT to elements of psychoanalysis and mindfulness practices.

✔ Complete confidentiality

Your data is not shared with insurance companies, and no one will know about your diagnosis unless you choose to disclose it. This can be important if, for example, you plan to get private insurance in the future or don’t want a diagnosis to impact other areas of your life.

✔ As many sessions as you actually need

In the GKV system, the number of sessions is often limited. In private therapy, we can work together for as long as you genuinely need, without rigid constraints.

✔ A safe space for all aspects of your identity

If a queer-friendly approach, neurodiversity-affirming therapy for ADHD/autism, understanding of non-monogamous relationships, or experience with sex work is important to you, my practice offers non-judgmental acceptance and respect.
