Self-Payers

It may be beneficial to cover the treatment costs yourself for several reasons, including:

• minimal administrative effort

• no information (such as treatment start, diagnoses, etc.) is forwarded to third parties

• the number of sessions is not predetermined but can be tailored individually

• greater flexibility in how the therapy is structured

People working in the public sector often choose this payment method - for example, teachers, lawyers.

If I have availability, I can offer you an immediate start of therapy.
We will conclude an individual treatment agreement outlining the course of therapy, and I will send you electronic invoices, which must be paid within one week. The fees follow the German fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP). In some cases, you may be able to deduct these costs from your taxes (e.g., as “extraordinary burdens” under §33 EStG).
