View profileEMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured psychotherapy often used to help people process traumatic or distressing memories. It is mainly known for its use in trauma and PTSD. It may also support people who experience panic, anxiety, intrusive images, nightmares, avoidance, shame, guilt or strong body reactions linked to past events.
EMDR does not erase memories. Instead, it aims to reduce the emotional charge connected to them. The person may still remember what happened, but the memory may feel less vivid, less threatening and less present in daily life. This can help the nervous system respond with more stability.
Sessions usually begin with assessment and preparation. The therapist explores the person’s history, current symptoms, goals and support system. They also check whether the person feels stable enough to work with difficult material. Before processing starts, the therapist often teaches grounding and self-calming tools.
During EMDR processing, the client briefly focuses on a target memory, image, belief or body sensation. At the same time, the therapist uses bilateral stimulation. This often involves guided eye movements, but it may also involve taps or sounds. The client does not need to describe every detail of the event. The therapist helps the person notice what comes up and move through the process safely.
EMDR may be helpful after a single traumatic event, such as an accident, assault, medical trauma or sudden loss. It may also support people with repeated or complex trauma, including childhood trauma, emotional abuse, neglect or relational trauma. In these cases, the work may need more preparation and a slower pace.
Some therapists integrate EMDR with Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, Somatic Therapy, mindfulness or attachment-informed work. The approach should fit the person’s needs, symptoms and level of safety.
EMDR therapy does not replace emergency support, diagnosis or medical care. It offers a structured way to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress and support recovery with a trained professional.
Berlin’s start-up, research and creative scenes attract people from all over the world, and many of them prefer EMDR with a professional who understands life abroad. After preparation and stabilisation, sessions focus on specific memories while you follow eye movements, taps or sounds guided by the therapist.
Online sessions by secure video are a practical option if you live outside the centre of Berlin, travel often or are about to move. If you plan to claim the cost from a German or international insurer, ask which qualifications it accepts; therapists provide invoices you can submit. If you are not sure whether EMDR fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories. While briefly recalling a memory, you follow bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or tapping, so that the memory gradually loses its emotional charge. It is widely used for trauma and PTSD.
EMDR Therapy is often used for concerns such as Anxiety, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), Panic attacks, Phobias, PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder), and Sexual trauma recovery.
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. 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.
MIT currently lists 1 therapist for this therapy, so you can compare different profiles before deciding.
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.
