Services

I offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adult clients. CBT is the most thoroughly researched form of psychotherapy. It is considered the treatment of choice for most mental health difficulties (e.g., depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, posttraumatic stress, disordered eating).

CBT is based on the idea that difficulties often arise from patterns of thoughts and behaviors that may provide short-term relief but are unhelpful in the long term. In therapy, I support you in developing more helpful alternatives and applying them consistently in everyday life.

My work is characterized by empathy, respect, and an authentic, collaborative approach. I follow the latest scientific evidence and also integrate methods from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which incorporate mindfulness and personal values into the change process.

Procedure #

1. In the initial consultation, you will receive a first assessment of your situation, and we will discuss possible next steps.
2. This is followed by two to four diagnostic sessions, during which I gather information for a diagnosis and assess whether CBT is likely to be beneficial. You will receive feedback and a concrete treatment plan.
3. During psychotherapy, we work systematically on improving your difficulties. Treatment consists of up to 24 weekly sessions, but the duration can be longer depending on individual needs.
