Maria Barger​

​

Welcome! I'm glad you are here. No text can replace getting to know each other in person, but I hope that my website can give you a first impression of me and my way of working. 

​

My path to becoming a psychotherapist began directly after my psychology studies. In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I also focus on ethics, vulnerable groups in society, and intercultural philosophy as part of my philosophy studies. Another one of my areas of interest is sex therapy, which is why I am constantly continuing my education in this field. 

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers highly effective methods to treat mental illness. But which methods we choose and how we implement them should be adjusted to who you are as an individual. Therefore I practice psychotherapy with a holistic approach. We have all grown up and been socialized differently. Social influences, culture and our environment affect our emotions and thinking and can therefore also be relevant in psychotherapy. But not only does it matter where and how you grew up, but how you like to do things now. If you encounter adversities, do you like to work creatively, in a structured, logical way, or maybe completely differently? Some people like to take the slow path and dive deep into the matter, others prefer fast, concrete ways. Psychotherapy is most effective when I can see and understand you in your individuality and adapt my treatment plan to what is right for you.

 

You have got the expertise on what's right for you I will be happy to support you or your child on your healing path!
