How do I get a therapy place?

Finding a therapy place can take time. Still, there are steps you can take one after another.

First contact and consultation hour

Many paths begin with a psychotherapeutic consultation hour. There, someone can assess which treatment or support fits.

Use several paths in parallel

You can contact practices, use 116117, ask your health insurance, involve counseling centers, and document rejections.

When it becomes urgent

If you do not feel safe right now, looking for a regular therapy place is not the emergency path. Then 112, crisis services, TelefonSeelsorge, or a nearby person matter.

What you can do now

  1. Look for a consultation hour.
  2. Check practices and 116117.
  3. Note rejections and waiting times.
