The list is not exhaustive: If your complaints are not mentioned, I can usually give you an assessment within a few sessions as to whether treatment in my practice would make sense.
​
You can also come for a one-time session if you are interested in my assessment and recommendations regarding your discomforts.
What are the costs for psychotherapy?
The services are calculated according to the fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP) based on a fee agreement. The fee for one session (50 min.) is approx. €170. I will give you a transparent overview of the costs in the first session.
As the insurance conditions of private health insurance companies differ, I would recommend that you inquire about the scope of psychotherapeutic services in your contract.
Why can't you bill my statutory health insurance?
Only a limited number of psychological psychotherapists per city are permitted to bill statutory health insurance companies through the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. In Frankfurt - as in almost every city - there are no free permissions for psychotherapists.
I would therefore like to ask for your understanding that, as a person with statutory insurance, I am unfortunately unable to offer you treatment. The only exceptions to this are if you are paying for the costs yourself or if a reimbursement may be possible (see next question).
Do you offer reimbursement for people with statutory health insurance?
In principle, I am open to reimbursement of costs. However, as a private psychotherapist, I bill you directly - that means you will receive an invoice from me in accordance with the fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP). It is then your responsibility to submit this to your health insurance company. Whether and to what extent you receive reimbursement is independent of my billing.
Please note: Health insurance companies vary in their level of cooperation when it comes to reimbursement. You can certainly get a first impression by asking your health insurance company about reimbursement.
Counseling and coaching
In addition to psychotherapy, I also offer psychological counseling and psychological coaching in my private practice. Psychological counseling involves discussing personal issues, whereas psychological coaching focuses on work-related topics such as stress management or burnout prevention. What both services have in common is that they do not involve psychotherapeutic treatment—meaning, no psychological symptoms are addressed.
The cost for one session (50 minutes) of counseling or coaching is €170 (final price). The fee for corporate inquiries is agreed individually.
