My passion is to reveal and decode the symbolic signs of the psyche. Fascinated by the uniqueness of every individual experience, I carefully open a safe space in which a cautious navigation through unconscious inner landscapes becomes possible. During this journey, my purpose is to support you in transforming painful conflicts such as the ability of feeling inner peace and joy grows and the vitality of the true self is allowed to evolve.

Ariane Losereit
M.Sc. in Psychology; licensed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Together we will make unconscious beliefs, thoughts and behavior patterns visible and put them into context. Our joint progress within the therapy with me should help you to recognize connections, to derive steps of change from them and to walk with my support.
For me, every feeling, no matter how difficult it is to feel, and every thought is comprehensible due to your individual life history and imprints. I follow the approach that you can understand and experience yourself in your becoming-being, just as I do you. The basis for self-compassion and self-acceptance.

BIBI ZAZAI
M.A. Educational Science; licensed in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy for Children and Youth
As behavioral therapist I work with resources and solutions.
Paths are made by walking them…
It is about analyzing patterns of behavior and, if necessary, changing or optimizing them. It is important to actively work on the problems, to check to what extent personal attitudes, such as for example, "I'm only worth something if I make everything perfect" are useful, and how you can change them. To actively improve your self-esteem, self-efficacy and your sensory perception are central topics in therapy.

Camille Bouchez
M.Sc. in Psychology; licensed in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy
Every story, every experience is unique and deserves to be recognized and understood in its individuality. Accordingly, I want to get to know you, your concerns and your needs very specifically. In order to ensure a treatment that is personally tailored to you, I go beyond the boundaries of classic behavioral therapy and integrate elements from schematherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Together we set a process of change in motion by looking very closely at what you need to make your life meaningful according to your ideas. Because the key lies in your hidden or blocked resources.

Cem URAS
M.A. in Psychology; licensed in Systemic Psychotherapy
When symptoms and complaints find their way into our lives and are increasingly expressed in our realities in particular life crises, this usually leads to personal suffering. A decoupling from ourselves and feelings of alienation can push our joie de vivre and our healthy participation in our reality of life into the background.
During this process I am at your side in a trusting atmosphere with methods and procedures of systemic therapy in order to direct a resource-oriented view of the inner stage with all your personality parts, so that a meaningful integration of these parts as well as a constructive redesign of your reality of life is possible.

Franci Oliveira
Dipl-Psych; licensed in Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
Through insight into the unconscious, analytic psychotherapy can give people the impulse to gain insights about themselves, to understand those better and to integrate them into their life. The enriching variety of feelings in one’s life story is not lost, but unfolds in a new, inner understanding of one's own world, which can lead to future changes. It is about a deeper, beyond the surface experience that can provide new insights into your inner world and thus new outlooks in the outer world.

JASCHA MERZ
M.A. in Psychology; licensed in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; Trauma Therapy with EMDR
We sometimes feel deeply stuck, when there are parts of ourselves we have not considered for too long. I believe that healing happens through enabling honest encounters with ourselves.
Hence therapy, to me, means creating a space together in which the pain can gradually be acknowledged, heard and seen, in order to let us move on. Unexpected forces and new paths emerge from here.

MARION ABELS
M.A. in Psychology; licensed in Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
I am here, offering you a space for carefully finding what's subconsciously causing you to feel troubled, held back, confused, conflicted, fearful or otherwise sad or disconnected and helping it into the realm of consciousness… a safe and held space where through awareness and understanding, even the most difficult feelings, memories or aspects of ourselves may become an integrated part of us - we can become fully aware of who we are, we can feel, connect and therefore heal. We all have so much in common within our human experience, but also I have great respect for the uniqueness of each individual path, and I am here to explore your path with you.

NAssim sheykhi
M.Sc. in psychology; licensed in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Our inner world is complex and multi-layered. In psychotherapy, we get to know our emotions, thoughts and ourselves better. My focus is not only on treating symptoms, but also on understanding the roots of the problems. Together we can go to a deeper level and connect you with your innermost needs and desires. I will accompany you on this process and help you to activate your resources, explore your inner world and resolve your inner conflicts.

Stefanie Jung
Dr., M.A. in Psychology; licensed in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help. – Irvin D. Yalom
To me, psychotherapy is an intimate journey. As a psychodynamic therapist I will accompany and guide you through your individual process. I believe that healing may eventuate with personal development and growth.
Along the way we may encounter beautiful as well as painful emotions, impulses and memories - each of which are equally welcome. Every aspect of you is valid and serves a function. My goal is to support you integrate these at times maybe contradicting parts of your self in order to give you the opportunity to regain your inner balance and self-respect.

Jun Heier
M.A. in Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic), autogenic, meditation and mindfulness training.
Ordination and 3-year priest training in Japan (Rinzai Zen Buddhism).
"Once you have found your way through the dark forest, you can never get lost in it again." (Zen Buddhist wisdom)
Sometimes life resembles a tangled thicket and it is difficult to walk through it. Under my guidance you will learn to build a good tool to find your very own way. Because my path has led me through Asia for a long time, I have learned to appreciate seemingly contradictory perspectives in equal measure. In the end, however, every path probably only ever leads to ourselves.

FLORIAN GÜTSCHOW
M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Cognitive Behavioral); PT2 at International Psychotherapy Berlin.
For me, creating a judge-free and open room is essential in Psychotherapy.
This room holds enough safety and support to help you reflect upon your past, present, and future, and to unravel and understand key experiences. Therefore, your needs and goals are the center of attention.
In therapy, my task is not to show you any "right way" since I am convinced that every human can and will find their own, individual way. Consequently, it is my responsibility to bring assist you, and accompany you on your journey.
It is especially important to me to tailor the therapy to your needs and resources. As humans, we hold a set of diverse resources, not always apparent to us. Finding these resources, strengthening and activating them will be an essential part of your therapy.

Julia Radisch
M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Cognitive Behavioral); PT2 at International Psychotherapy Berlin
If you are experiencing suffering or insecurities, it may be helpful to seek external support. In my practice, I warmly invite you to discover a safe space together in which we can talk openly about all the ups and downs of life. It is particularly important to me that you feel heard, seen and accepted in your uniqueness. Because mutual understanding and trust can bring about true healing.
In our work together, we will focus in particular on your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors. This will give you the opportunity to get to know yourself better and develop a greater awareness of your resources. Our goal will be for you to be able to go on with your life again, from your own power and with new perspectives.

Michal Blau
MA in clinical Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Psychodynamic & Psychoanalysis), PT2 at International Psychotherapy Berlin.
Curiosity about people and their uniqueness is what drives me; alongside flexibility and openness, these qualities help me understand other people on their own terms, what they want, need, long for and desire. These aspects are part of my relational understanding. By reflecting on past, present and desired relationships, we can create psychic space to get in touch with more aspects of life, and the way these relate to one another.
When we talk about relationships, we can consider these between social groups, cultures, languages, people, ideas, thoughts, feelings or any other kind we can think of.
To paraphrase Adam Phillips: Let's consider together what kinds of interactions you would like to have with others, what hinders you from having them, and why you think those kinds of interactions are worth having.

RUBEN MOSMANN
M.Sc. in clinical psychology; psychotherapist in training (TfP); PT2
For me, psychotherapy is about getting involved and wanting to understand oneself as a personal maturing process.
There are moments when it may be difficult to understand our thoughts, feelings and actions. We don't know what to do, the situation seems hopeless, our thoughts revolve around negative loops.
The psyche finds different ways and means of communicating.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help to uncover why we think, feel and act the way we do and reduce the pressure of suffering by understanding and dealing with unconscious conflictual dynamics.
As a psychotherapist in training, I offer you a trusting, sensitive and non-judgmental framework and work with you to identify underlying experiences and connections with the here and now.

RUZICA LUDWIG
MA in clinical Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Cognitive Behavioral), PT2 at International Psychotherapy Berlin.
I see the therapeutic process as a shared journey between therapist and client. Empathy and acceptance of the client without judgment is the best foundation for therapeutic change.
Through compassion, warmth and curiosity, I provide a safe environment for my clients to explore the factors that hinder growth and to process and release feelings of being stuck.
I believe that everyone has a hidden power and strength within them to overcome difficult life situations. My focus is on the here and now, how you feel during our session and what this means for your life. Together we will discover your hidden abilities to lead an easier and happier life. We look for and seize new opportunities and find new ways through life's difficulties and challenges with the aim of tapping into the hidden resources we all carry within us and acting more consciously.

Diploma in Psychology, Psychotherapist in Training (Cognitive Behavioral), PT2 at International Psychotherapy Berlin.
Thich Nhat Hanh once wrote: "Most people are afraid of suffering. But suffering is a kind of mud that makes the lotus flower of happiness blossom." That is why I want to encourage you to let a lotus grow from your mud.
For me, psychotherapy is not a mechanical repair, but a shared journey on which I accompany you. The aim is for you to recognize what thought and personality patterns have made you susceptible to the disorder. You will be given tools to overcome the current crisis - many are already within you and with others you can make new experiences. Negative feelings should no longer be a danger from which you have to flee, because with mindfulness, acceptance and compassion you can be given the chance to grow from suffering. Because: "Those who run away from suffering cannot find happiness."
