This page lists ADHD Psychotherapists in Berlin. 2 in all.
ADHD assessment and support
ADHD affects attention, activity and impulse control. It continues into adulthood for many people. A diagnosis comes from a specialist assessment, not from a first therapy session.
Treatments that work for ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions include psychosocial and behavioural interventions 1. For some diagnoses and ages, a doctor may also consider medicine.
Ask a practitioner whether they assess, treat, or both.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the specialism recorded as ADHD and the professional title psychotherapist.
The Berlin page answers more questions about therapy there.

Who registers therapists in Germany?
Titles you will see include Psychologischer Psychotherapeut and Kinder-und Jugendlichenpsychotherapeut. Search the register by name at Bundespsychotherapeutenkammer (Federal Chamber of Psychotherapists). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.
In Germany the title Psychotherapeut needs a state licence, the Approbation. Doctors may use it too. Ask a practitioner on this list which licence or permission they hold.
