A small interdisciplinary team consisting of a state-approved social worker with additional counseling training, a psychological psychotherapist and a couples and sexual counselor with a master’s degree in social work works in the “Familienzelt”. All members of staff have specialist knowledge of crises in the peripartum period.
Unlike in a therapy setting, we do not make a diagnosis and do not aim to treat disorders. Psychosocial counseling is solution- and resource-oriented with a focus on a specific issue in a specific phase of life. Together, we develop strategies for the new life situation in an appreciative and safe environment. If therapy is required, we are happy to help and refer you to other services. Our psychosocial counselling is characterized by its low-threshold nature. Unlike therapy, it does not require approval from the health insurance company. Our counseling sessions can also be anonymous.
