Therapy for Expats in Berlin: psychological support for people living outside their home country, in English, German and other languages, in person or by secure video.

Finding help in Berlin that works in English or another language can take time, so many people start their search for therapy for expats with a private, verified professional. Therapists understand relocation, culture shock, distance from family and the question of staying or leaving, and many work in several languages.

Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in person in Berlin when a therapist offers it or online by secure video. 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 therapy for expats fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

FAQ — Therapy for Expats in Berlin

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.
