View profileSex Therapy is a specialised therapeutic approach for individuals and couples who want support with sexuality, intimacy, desire, communication, trust or sexual wellbeing. It offers a confidential and non-judgmental space to talk about concerns that can feel difficult, private or loaded with shame. The goal is not performance or pressure, but understanding, emotional safety and realistic change.
Sex Therapy may help with sexual difficulties, intimacy issues, trust issues, low desire, anxiety around intimacy, communication problems, body image concerns, relational distance, desire differences, shame or recovery after infidelity. It may also be useful when sexual concerns are connected to stress, fatigue, past experiences, relationship patterns, identity questions or difficulty expressing needs and boundaries.
A session usually begins with a careful conversation about the current concern, goals, relationship context, emotional wellbeing, safety, medical factors and what has already been tried. Sex Therapy is a professional talking therapy. It does not involve sexual contact, nudity, physical examination or sexual activity with the therapist. When exercises are suggested, they are explained in session and practised privately outside therapy, only in a way that respects consent, comfort and personal boundaries.
Sex Therapy can be individual or couple-based. In individual work, the focus may be self-understanding, confidence, body awareness, shame, anxiety or personal patterns. In couple-based work, it may overlap with Couples Therapy or Emotionally Focused Therapy, especially when communication, emotional distance, trust or repeated conflict affect intimacy. If there is coercion, violence or immediate danger, specialist safety support should come before ordinary couple sessions.
Sex Therapy does not replace medical care when physical symptoms need assessment, and it does not replace emergency support in a crisis. It can, however, help people speak more clearly, understand the patterns behind their difficulties, reduce shame and build a healthier relationship with intimacy, sexuality and emotional connection.
Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to sex therapy with very different questions. Sessions are conversations only, for one person or a couple, and may include information, communication exercises and gradual steps at home.
Online sessions by secure video are a practical option if you live outside the centre of Berlin, travel often or are about to move. Some insurers or employers in Germany contribute to this kind of support and others do not, so check your contract before you start. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

Support for intimacy, desire, communication and sexual wellbeing.
Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.
Sex Therapy is often used for concerns such as Intimacy issues, Sexual difficulties, and Trust issues.
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €100–€180 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
