View profileSomatic Therapy is a body-based therapeutic approach that helps people understand how stress, emotions and past experiences appear in the body. It focuses on nervous system regulation, body awareness, grounding, breathing, movement, tension, posture and physical signals. The aim is not to force relaxation or relive difficult events. The aim is to build safety, awareness and practical tools step by step.
This approach may support people dealing with stress, anxiety, hyper-alertness, emotional overwhelm, body disconnection, trauma responses, chronic tension, sleep disruption or shutdown. It may also help when a person understands a problem mentally but still feels trapped in physical reactions such as tightness, restlessness, numbness, shallow breathing or a constant sense of danger.
Somatic Therapy can be relevant for Trauma & PTSD and Complex PTSD. In trauma, the nervous system may keep protective responses active long after the danger has passed. Sessions can help the person notice these patterns without shame, return to the present, and develop more choice in how they respond.
A session may include body awareness, grounding exercises, breathing, gentle movement, tracking sensations, resourcing and small-step exploration of triggers. The therapist should adapt the pace to the client’s safety and tolerance. Good somatic work does not push the person into overwhelming memories. It helps build capacity first.
Somatic Therapy may also support people with chronic pain, psychosomatic symptoms or sleep issues, especially when symptoms interact with stress, tension or nervous system activation. It should not replace medical assessment when physical symptoms, pain, medication effects, breathing problems or sudden changes need attention.
Before starting, ask the therapist about their training, trauma-informed approach, use of touch, consent, pacing and online availability. Somatic Therapy can be used alone or alongside approaches such as EMDR Therapy or Mindfulness Meditation, depending on the person’s needs and stability.
Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to somatic therapy with very different questions. Sessions combine conversation with attention to breathing, posture, sensations and grounding, at a pace you can tolerate.
You can look for a therapist who works in English, German, Russian or Ukrainian; each profile lists the languages spoken. 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 somatic therapy is the right approach for you.

Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.
Somatic Therapy is often used for concerns such as Anxiety, Chronic pain, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), Psychosomatic symptoms, Sleep issues, and Stress.
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 €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.
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.
