Psychotherapy for girls
Girls come to me with different problems than boys. They deal with relationships and their own boundaries differently than boys. What’s more, social media, conflicts, and their own physical awareness play an important role for girls.
Specific disorders in girls
Some disorders, such as eating disorders or self-harming behavior, occur more frequently in girls. Other disorders, like ADHD or Asperger’s syndrome, present differently than in boys and are therefore not identified as often. That is why it is important to take a close look in order to provide your daughter with the best possible support.
Targeted treatment for girls
With my skills in gender-specific medicine, I specifically consider important girls’ issues in the diagnosis and treatment of your daughter. With targeted treatment strategies, I can support your daughter precisely according to her needs.
During therapy, I learn how to handle conflicts and difficult feelings better. Now I have much more courage than I used to and get on better with others. Bullying and self-harming aren’t a problem anymore.”

Psychotherapy for boys
Boys show different social needs than girls. For instance, they react with greater stress to being cared for by people they don’t know as toddlers. They often feel happy in groups with a hierarchical structure and are confronted with different role requirements than girls.
Specific disorders in boys
Boys more often experience difficulties in school, where their strengths and needs are less likely to be seen. Boys often behave in an externalizing way – that is, they have problems sitting still and controlling their impulses or are more likely to display aggressive disruptive behavior. ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and media addiction in particular occur more frequently in boys than in girls.
The right support for boys
Whereas shy boys often need support dealing with social anxieties, externalizing boys tend to require help appropriately identifying and respecting their own feelings and those of others.
Using special diagnostic instruments and therapeutic processes, I can support your son in accordance with his needs and problems. Since I’ve been having therapy, I can cope better with my dyslexia. And I’ve learned how to deal with stupid comments from other kids at school.”
