Freiraum Psychotherapie

What Freiraum Psychotherapie does

Freiraum Psychotherapie is a private outpatient psychotherapy practice (Privatpraxis) headquartered in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Germany, with a second location on Mainzer Str. 21 in the same district. The practice delivers cognitive behavioral therapy (Verhaltenstherapie) to adults presenting with anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, panic and agoraphobia, social phobia, ADHD, trauma, burnout, and life crises, using a method-integrative protocol that combines CBT with ACT, DBT, schema therapy, mindfulness, and systemic approaches. A dedicated adult ADHD diagnostics service (typically 4-5 sessions at \u20ac153 per 50-minute session) operates as a standalone offering alongside ongoing individual therapy.

The practice is staffed by approximately 18 state-authorized psychological psychotherapists (Approbation) with Fachkundenachweis in behavioral therapy, trained at institutions including FU Berlin, HU Berlin, Universit\u00e4t Bern, and DGVT. Service delivery occurs across two Berlin-Friedrichshain locations and a secure video conferencing channel that extends reach nationwide. Patient acquisition runs through the practice's SEO-optimized website, Doctolib self-serve booking, telephone contact during office hours, email/contact forms, and the Bahn BKK partnership for direct-billed insured patients.

Revenue is generated under the Geb\u00fchrenordnung f\u00fcr Psychotherapeuten (GOP) fee schedule, sourced from private health insurance (PKV), Beihilfe, Bahn BKK (via direct partnership), and self-pay patients. The practice deliberately excludes statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) and does not participate in the Kostenerstattungsverfahren, positioning itself in the private-pay segment with ~\u20ac35 co-payments for insured patients and full self-pay rates for others. The firm operates without disclosed external investment, M&A activity, or technology-product layer beyond standard video conferencing and Doctolib integration.
