OUT OF ANXIETY -

QUALITY OF LIFE
As an experienced psychotherapist for anxiety disorders, I offer professional support with modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in combination with mindfulness-based approaches in German and English.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and can significantly restrict daily life. If you suffer from excessive anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias, I offer specialized anxiety therapy as an experienced psychotherapist in Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg).
Panic Disorder &
Panic Attacks
Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks accompanied by intense anxiety and physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.

Fear of situations or places where escape might be difficult or embarrassing (e.g. on public transport or in crowds).
Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)
Intense fear of negative judgment or embarrassment in social situations, which may lead to avoidance of interactions.
Health Fears (Hypochondria)
Excessive and persistent fear of suffering from a particular serious physical illness, often without physical signs, leading to repeated visits to the doctor.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Persistent and excessive worry about various aspects of life that is not due to a specific threat.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety that occurs after extremely stressful or traumatic events, accompanied by flashbacks, nightmares, and intense emotional reactions.
Specific Phobias
Intense fear of specific objects or situations, such as heights, animals, or syringes, leading to avoidance behavior.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is also often associated with intense anxiety, as those affected are plagued by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions.
Treatment Approach and Therapy Methods
As a licensed psychological psychotherapist, I bring extensive experience in treating anxiety disorders. In my anxiety therapy practice in Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg), I combine various effective methods:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Scientifically best-established method for anxiety disorders
-
Exposure Therapy: Gentle and guided confrontation with anxiety-triggering situations
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learning to deal with anxieties instead of fighting against them
-
Mindfulness Techniques: Improving self-awareness and emotion regulation
-
Parts Work: Understanding and integrating different "parts" of your personality
My approach is always individually tailored to your specific situation. Therapy for anxiety disorders takes place in several phases, from precise diagnostics through psychoeducation and learning coping strategies to transferring these skills to everyday life and preventing relapse.
Depression Treatment Process in My Practice
The therapy for depression in my Berlin practice typically proceeds in the following steps:
-
Initial Consultation (First Session): Getting to know each other and an initial assessment of your situation
-
Diagnostic Phase: Precise analysis of the depressive symptoms and their triggers
-
Therapy Planning: Joint determination of goals and treatment plan
-
Active Therapy Phase: Regular sessions with various interventions
-
Final Phase: Securing progress and relapse prevention
The therapy can be accessed through private health insurance, as a self-pay service, or in exceptional cases after approval by statutory health insurance through a cost reimbursement procedure.
