UngTerapi

“At UngTerapi, we specialize exclusively in the psychological needs of young people—from teenagers to young adults in their thirties. Our psychologists have extensive training and experience in youth-specific issues including anxiety disorders, depression, stress management, performance pressure, identity development, and relationship challenges. We recognize that being young in today's world comes with unique pressures: social media, academic competition, career uncertainty, and the complexity of forming your adult identity. Our entire practice is built around understanding these realities, not just theoretically, but through years of working closely with young clients facing similar challenges. Whether you're an international student adjusting to life in Copenhagen, a young professional managing work stress, or a teenager struggling with anxiety, our psychologists provide evidence-based treatment tailored specifically to where you are in life.”

About Us

UngTerapi is Copenhagen's leading youth mental health specialist clinic, dedicated exclusively to supporting young people aged 12-35. With over 20 experienced psychologists on our team, we understand the unique challenges of being young today—whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, academic pressure, relationships, or finding your identity. We're one of Denmark's largest practices focused specifically on youth psychology, combining deep expertise in adolescent and young adult mental health with a modern, accessible approach. Our English-speaking psychologists work with international students, expats, and young professionals throughout Copenhagen, Aarhus, and across Denmark through online therapy. What sets us apart: short waiting times, flexible scheduling, and therapists who truly understand your generation. We offer sessions in both English and Danish, in-person or online, making quality mental health support accessible when you need it most.

Approach

We believe therapy should feel accessible, not intimidating. Our approach is warm, judgment-free, and collaborative—we meet you where you are, not where you think you "should" be. Many of our psychologists are young themselves, creating a peer-level dynamic that makes it easier to open up about what's really going on. Flexibility is key: With 20+ psychologists, you'll find available appointments quickly—usually within days, not months. Choose between in-person sessions in Copenhagen or Aarhus, or connect online from anywhere in Denmark. Prefer therapy in English? We've got you covered. Need to switch between English and Danish? That works too. We combine professional expertise with genuine understanding of youth culture and modern life pressures. There's no one-size-fits-all method here—our psychologists use evidence-based approaches that match your specific needs, whether that's cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, or simply having a skilled, empathetic space to process what you're going through. The goal: help you build practical skills, gain self-understanding, and move forward—at your own pace.
