Online therapy sessions take place via a secure video conferencing platform and typically last 50 minutes. All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet, private space where you can feel comfortable and speak freely in complete confidentiality.

Payment details will be discussed during our first online consultation (see below: “Costs & Reimbursement“), and sessions will be billed from the second session. Appointments are scheduled in advance, and the allocated time is exclusively reserved for you. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your session, a cancellation fee of €60 will apply.

Private health insurance and supplementary insurance (Beihilfe) generally cover psychotherapy costs. However, the reimbursement depends on your contract with your insurance provider. Before starting therapy, I recommend checking with your insurer to confirm whether they cover consultations with a psychotherapist. I am happy to assist you in clarifying your insurance coverage for psychotherapeutic treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy). My fees follow the official fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP).

I cannot bill public health insurance providers directly because I operate a private practice. However, in certain exceptional cases, therapy may be reimbursed through the cost reimbursement procedure (Kostenerstattungsverfahren). To qualify for reimbursement, you must demonstrate that you could not obtain an appointment with a publicly approved behavioral therapist within a reasonable timeframe and distance. If you have any questions about the reimbursement process, feel free to contact me, or you can contact your health insurance provider directly for further information.

Of course, you also have the option to cover the cost of therapy yourself. In this case, no formalities are required, and no data will be shared with your health insurance provider. Click here for a list of psychotherapy services available.

If you live outside of Germany or have different health insurance conditions, you must check with your provider regarding coverage for therapy sessions. You can also view the current rates in Europe (and worldwide) here to get a general idea of the costs. I am happy to discuss the necessary steps and assist you.
