Psychotherapy

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychological problems are widespread and can manifest in various forms such as identity crises, life crises, depression, anxiety, mental disorders, and traumatic reactions.

Psychotherapy is an effective approach to treating psychological challenges and emotional difficulties. It provides professional support to understand, cope with, and overcome individual problems. Through the use of various therapeutic techniques and approaches, people can learn to better understand and change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Psychotherapy creates a safe space in which a trusting relationship is established between the therapist and the client to work together on personal goals and individual development. It strengthens individual resources and opens up new perspectives. Psychotherapy can help people improve their mental health, strengthen their relationships, and lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Approach

The therapy process begins with an initial consultation, followed by an assessment phase. Together with you, we determine the next steps and the frequency of sessions.

Through therapy, you gain a better understanding of yourself. We support you in recognizing and changing your personal thinking and behavioral patterns. Additionally, we assist you in coping with emotional crises and stressful situations, as well as building a healthy sense of self-worth.

The trusting therapeutic relationship is a central element. It allows you to confront difficult and painful experiences. A positive therapeutic relationship encourages you to develop your own skills and resources.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Psychotherapy encompasses a variety of approaches, one of the most well-known and extensively researched being Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT places a special focus on the quality of treatment and has proven to be highly effective.

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, therapists work closely with clients to identify and change unhealthy thinking and behavioral patterns. The therapeutic process focuses on how thoughts, beliefs, and evaluations influence behavior and emotions. By becoming aware of and examining these thinking patterns, negative thought patterns can be recognized and replaced with more realistic and healthier thoughts.

Another characteristic of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the activation of clients in therapy. Concrete goals are agreed upon, and concrete strategies are developed and worked on together to achieve these goals. Homework assignments and exercises are also used outside therapy sessions to integrate what has been learned into daily life and make sustainable changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has proven to be highly effective in a variety of mental disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is evidence-based, meaning it is based on extensive scientific research and clinical studies that demonstrate its effectiveness.

Through the high-quality implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, clients can learn to recognize their thinking patterns, question negative thoughts, and bring about positive behavioral changes. This leads to improved quality of life, symptom reduction, and long-term well-being.

There are various psychotherapeutic approaches with different emphases and methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thinking and behavioral patterns. Psychodynamic psychotherapy considers unconscious processes and childhood experiences as significant. Humanistic therapy emphasizes personal growth and self-realization. Each approach has its own way of supporting individuals in coping with their challenges and improving their mental health. The choice of the appropriate approach depends on the individual's needs and goals.
