Life is not always easy
… but talking about it helps.
Do you feel stressed? Unable to cope with everyday tasks? Are you struggling in your relationship, your job, suffer from lack of energy, or from anxiety? Or maybe you are just looking for a safe space where you can sort your thoughts? Let us take a look at what you need.
Private Practice Gehrmann, Am Horsterhof 47, 52222 Stolberg
How I can help
Therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert on your mind. You know yourself best. I on the other hand can serve you with knowledge, experience and the willingness to get to know you, and understand you. While we get to know each other, we can together take a look at where you would like to go and which paths could take you there.
My promise
As everyone has a different communication style, needs, and preferences, it is my intention to treat you in an open, non-judgmental, and respectful manner, and to do my best to find an approach that can work for you and help you to master whatever challenge you may be currently facing. If starting therapy feels like a daunting task, rest assured that I understand and that I'm committed to taking the time to gradually build the trust and safety necessary for you to feel comfortable with me.
My Service
My range of treatment includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, often complemented by client-centered and, when needed, cognitive-behavioral elements. The cost of treatment is based on the official fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP) and may be covered by your private health insurance, civil service aid (Beihilfe), or military medical care (Heilfürsorge). Self-paying clients are also warmly welcome.
If you are publicly insured, your treatment costs may be covered under certain conditions through the reimbursement procedure.
Therapy can be conducted in German, English, Czech, and Slovak.
If you feel like we could be a good fit, I would love to meet you. If you are not sure yet, I am happy to answer whatever questions you might have or to see you for a free meet-and-greet appointment. In this way you can figure out whether you could imagine working with me.
I am a much better counselor than webpage-designer. This may be the reason why I have not figured out how to implement a contact form in English. The button below leads to my German contact form. It is very easy to understand and therefore very non-german-speaker-friendly. Feel free to use it to get in touch with me. Alternatively you can use my email which can be found at the bottom of the page (Impressum).
