View profileTrauma-focused therapy is an umbrella term for psychological approaches that work directly, and carefully, with the effects of trauma. These effects can include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, constant alertness, shame or the sense of not feeling safe in the present.
Depending on the therapist’s training, the work may draw on Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), EMDR, body-oriented psychotherapy or compassion-focused therapy. Most approaches begin with safety, stabilisation and coping skills before any work on painful memories.
Before booking, it can help to ask a therapist about their training, their experience with PTSD or complex PTSD, and how they handle difficult sessions.
Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to trauma-focused therapy with very different questions. Depending on the therapist’s training, the work may draw on TF-CBT, EMDR, body-oriented or compassion-focused methods, always starting with safety and stabilisation.
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. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

It is a family of psychological treatments that work directly with the memories, body reactions and beliefs left by traumatic experiences, such as EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and body-oriented approaches.
EMDR and trauma-focused CBT are the approaches most often recommended in international clinical guidelines for post-traumatic stress. The best choice also depends on the type of trauma, your preferences and the therapist’s training.
Not necessarily. Some methods, such as EMDR or somatic approaches, need only brief contact with the memory. A good therapist builds safety first and lets you decide how much to share.
Yes, many trauma therapists work online, including with EMDR. Make sure you have a private, quiet space and agree with your therapist on what to do if you feel overwhelmed during a session.
Our therapists do not provide emergency care. If you are in immediate danger, call 112 (EU emergency number) or your local emergency services.
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.
