Perinatal and postpartum support

Perinatal and postpartum support is psychological help during pregnancy, after birth and in the first year with a baby. This period can bring joy as well as exhaustion, worry, grief or the feeling that life has changed faster than expected.

Sessions can address anxiety, postpartum depression, a difficult birth, loss, fertility stress and changes in identity and in the couple. Partners can also seek support, and online sessions can be easier to fit around a baby.

If you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, contact local emergency services or your doctor straight away.

Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to perinatal and postpartum support with very different questions. Sessions can address anxiety, low mood, birth experiences and the changes in identity and relationships that come with a baby.

Each profile shows whether sessions take place in person in Berlin or online, together with the languages and the fee. Statutory health insurance covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times are often long, so many international residents see a private therapist and pay directly. If you are not sure whether perinatal and postpartum support fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

FAQ — Perinatal & Postpartum Support in Berlin

Do I need a diagnosis to ask for support?

No. You can seek support for distress, uncertainty, a difficult transition or a specific experience without having a diagnosis. A clinician can help assess what kind of care may be appropriate.

Can I have therapy while pregnant?

Psychological therapy can be offered during pregnancy. The approach should be selected with your needs, health, preferences and any relevant maternity or medical care in mind. If medication or physical symptoms are involved, seek advice from the appropriate medical professional as well.

What if bonding with my baby is taking time?

Bonding is not always immediate, and a slower start does not make you a bad parent. Consider seeking support if the experience is distressing, persistent or accompanied by low mood, anxiety, numbness, frightening thoughts or difficulty functioning.

Can my partner or co-parent be involved?

Sometimes. This depends on your goals, consent, safety and the type of support being offered. A clinician can discuss whether individual sessions, one or more joint sessions, or separate support would fit best.

How long does support last?

There is no standard duration. Some people seek focused support for a specific concern, while others need longer-term care. The plan should be reviewed with you rather than decided by a generic timetable.

Can I see a therapist in person in Berlin, or only online?

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.

Can I have therapy in Berlin in English or in my own language?

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.

Does German health insurance pay for therapy?

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.

How much does a therapy session cost in Berlin?

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.

What should I do in an emergency in Berlin?

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.

How do I choose the right therapist in Berlin?

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.
