View profileTrauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, phased therapy for trauma-related symptoms. The model was developed mainly for children and adolescents, with parents or caregivers taking part when this helps; some therapists apply its principles with adults.
Treatment usually begins with understanding trauma reactions and learning coping skills for anxiety, sleep and strong emotions. Once there is enough stability, the work turns to the trauma memories and the beliefs attached to them, then to consolidating what has changed. It is used for trauma, PTSD, nightmares and anxiety after frightening events.
A responsible therapist adapts the pace and checks safety at each step.
Berlin is one of Europe’s most international cities, and many residents look for TF-CBT in English or in another language they feel at home in. Treatment usually moves in phases: understanding trauma reactions and learning coping skills, then work on memories and beliefs, then consolidation.
Each profile shows whether sessions take place in person in Berlin or online, together with the languages and the fee. If you plan to claim the cost from a German or international insurer, ask which qualifications it accepts; therapists provide invoices you can submit. A first session is a chance to discuss your goals and decide together whether TF-CBT is the right approach for you.

Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) is a therapeutic approach used to help people understand their difficulties, build practical tools, and move toward more stable wellbeing.
Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.
Trauma-Focused CBT can be used for a range of emotional, relational, behavioral, or stress-related concerns depending on the therapist’s training.
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.
The number of sessions depends on the history, the current level of safety, and the goals of treatment. Some people do short focused work; others benefit from a longer process.
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 €90–€170 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. 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.
