About me

Therapy is a matter of trust. Before you make your decision, it’s only fair that you know who you’re dealing with: how I think, how I work, and why I chose this profession.

Dr. habil. Christian Kohlross
For me, therapy is not a technique that I apply to you. It is a collaborative process, and I play an active role in it. I spent many years working in academia, teaching and conducting research. This academic approach shapes my therapeutic work: looking closely, understanding connections, and never taking anything at face value. But I am not a theorist. I sit opposite you and am ready to explore things in depth with you. What I promise you is this: I will not look away when things get difficult. Together, we will face what hurts, because that is the only way to truly leave it behind.

Career

Position

Scientifically sound, not dogmatic

I combine depth psychology, behavioural therapy and emotion-focused approaches.

Depth in a manageable timeframe

Profound work doesn't have to take forever. Change can begin sooner than most people think.

Active, not passive.

I am not a passive observer. I get involved. Respectfully, directly, and always with your best interests at heart.

International and multilingual

Many years’ experience in the USA, with a practice in Berlin serving an international clientele. I work entirely bilingually in German and English.

 ‘I don’t treat diagnoses - I treat people. Therapy begins when you stop managing symptoms and start understanding their causes.’
