This page lists Male Depression Psychotherapists in Berlin. 3 in all.
That is 3 of the 12 psychotherapists listed in Berlin.
These are practitioners who identify as male on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a man.
Identifying as a man is a different thing from working with men's concerns. A client and a practitioner always differ, whatever they share 2.
How depression is treated
Effective psychological treatments include behavioural activation and cognitive-behavioural therapy 3. Interpersonal psychotherapy and problem-solving therapy are also used. In the World Health Organization's words: ‘Psychological treatments are the first treatments for depression.’ ‘They can be combined with antidepressant medicines in moderate and severe depression.’
Effective treatment exists for mild, moderate and severe depression. A depressive episode means low mood, or loss of interest in things you enjoyed. It lasts most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks.
Low mood after a loss or a hard year is not automatically a disorder, though support can help. Ask a practitioner what they would suggest, and why.
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 practitioner's stated Male identity, the specialism recorded as Depression and the professional title psychotherapist.
The Berlin page answers more questions about therapy there.
Paying for therapy in Berlin
Do affordable options exist in Berlin?
Bezirksamt Lichtenberg Sozialpsychiatrischer Dienst. Phone +49 30 90296 7562. The district states that its social-psychiatric offers are free of charge. Adults with mental illness or mental-health problems may use the service.

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.
