Vera Fleischer

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I like to make good use of the choices that are available to you and your relationship(s). Let's get your emotional ducks in a row. Individual therapy is only available to people in or near Cologne, Germany to allow us to meet in person at least once. Couples therapy is available online or in-person.

About Me

I help individuals and couples align their emotional landscape, guiding practical choices for your relationships. For individual therapy, we meet in person in Cologne, building a strong foundation. Couples worldwide can connect with me online or locally. My direct approach clarifies feelings and relationship dynamics. I'm a good match for those seeking clear, actionable steps towards emotional order.

Approach

We'll treat the practical choices before you as tools to reorder feelings and restore clarity in relationships. Sessions in Cologne (German or English) feel focused and paced — we name patterns, try small experiments, and I bring targeted interventions when stuck; couples can work with me online or locally to keep momentum between meetings. I attend to cultural context, shame and self-worth with direct, steady curiosity so you leave with clearer next steps. This way of working suits people who want concrete progress and honest feedback.
