Systemic Therapy for Children and Adolescents

In my work, I integrate systemic therapy with targeted elements from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches (CBT). This allows me to respond flexibly to the individual needs of each child and adolescent and to understand deeper psychological connections as well as offer practical, solution-oriented approaches.

What characterizes systemic therapy?

• Strengthening resources: The child’s individual abilities are specifically promoted.

• Focus on relationships: parents, siblings and the social environment are actively involved.

• Creative methods: Role plays, systemic constellations and family discussions facilitate access to problems and promote solutions.

• Solution-oriented: Instead of symptoms, the focus is on sustainable solutions.

areas of application
The therapy is particularly helpful for:

• Anxiety disorders: Insecurities in social or school situations.

• Depression: withdrawal, apathy or loss of interest (stabilizing - no acute treatment).

• Eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia or emotional eating (stabilizing - no acute treatment).

• Trauma: stressful experiences such as bullying or loss.

• Psychosomatic complaints: Headaches or stomach aches due to mental stress.

therapeutic approach
Each treatment is individual, age-appropriate and designed to activate resources. Self-efficacy, communication and stability are promoted through conversations, creative exercises and family discussions.

Important instructions

• In cases of severe mental illnesses (e.g. psychosis, severe depression), I only provide support in close cooperation with specialists.
