Psychotherapy Practice Kretschmar Berlin in German or English
Psychoanalyst
Psychological Psychotherapist
Psychoanalytic Private Practice for Adults in Central Berlin
When thoughts keep circling, fears begin to shape everyday life, relationships become increasingly strained, or you feel emotionally exhausted and disconnected, conversations can help you better understand your own situation. In a safe and trusting setting, distressing symptoms, inner conflicts, and recurring relationship patterns can be explored and worked through.
I offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms, personality difficulties and other mental health conditions.

The psychoanalytic perspective on you as an entrepreneur/manager, your company, and your business relationships, in order to understand unconscious connections
My practice is primarily intended for individuals experiencing mental health conditions associated with significant psychological distress. Psychotherapeutic treatment generally requires the presence of clinically relevant symptoms that meet the criteria for a recognised mental health disorder.
Not every personal or professional concern requires psychotherapy. During an initial consultation, we can explore together whether psychotherapy or coaching is the most appropriate form of support for your particular situation.
My approach

About me
I studied business administration and psychology and am a state-licensed psychological psychotherapist in Germany. Today, I treat predominantly mental health disorders through psychotherapy. Based on my professional experience in business many years ago, I can also offer coaching for currently employed executives (not career counseling).

Publications
A particular focus of my research is on how psychoanalytic concepts can be applied to understanding leadership, conflicts, structural limitations, burnout, and organizational defense processes. Together with colleagues, I have published numerous contributions in the shared field of inner psychological life and the world of work.

About Practice
Here you will find information about opening and closing times, directions, fees and, where applicable, current information on available therapy places.

Contact
Please note that this is a private practice for privately insured and self-paying patients, as I cannot bill to public insurance. Therefore, I am currently unable to offer open consultation hours. I would like to take the time for you personally. An initial appointment is available by arrangement only via the form in the menu. I will then call you back or send you an email or text message.
