About
My name is Sarah Moesch and I am a certified psychodynamic therapist and clinical psychologist working in Berlin. Originally from Germany, I spent a lot of time abroad during my studies and lived in different cultures.
After receiving my masters in clinical psychology from the Freie University Berlin I continued my training at the Berlin Academy for Psychotherapy on depth psychology and psychodynamic theory and practice.
Additionally, I am trained in intercultural therapy and political education. Currently, I am working at my private practice in Prenzlauer Berg.
My approach
In my opinion a good therapeutic relationship is the foundation for making therapy a working experience. I try to create an appreciative and tolerant atmosphere in which each client can feel safe and can open up. I believe that when we have a space to explore ourselves with openess, we can become aware of our inner self and start paying attention to our feelings and motives. During the therapeutic process we will focus on the here and now and how it is determined by your past. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I believe that presenting symptoms have underlying roots and that those deeper roots needs to be adressed. Symptoms may change but, if not adressed, the underlying issues remain. Thus, during therapy we do not only focus on the symptoms but talk about everything that might come up during the session. The psychodynamic approach then relies on the interpersonal exchange between a therapist and a client, in order to establish and develop new strategies that the client can use to create changes.
Qualifications
I went through an extensive 10 years long training period to become a psychologist (Master of Science) first and later a psychotherapist with German state license (“Approbation”).
- Approbation as a psychotherapist (Psychologische Psychotherapeutin) in psychodynamic therapy (tiefenpsychologisch fundierte Psychotherapie) at the Berlin Academy for Psychotherapy
- postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy for children and adolescents at the Berlin Academy for Psychotherapy
- M. Sc. in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the Freie University of Berlin
- Bachelor of Sciences in Psychology at the Freie University of Berlin

Fees & Policies
The psychotherapy process may take between a few weeks and a few years depending on the presenting issues. Each session is 50min and we usually meet once a week. As an accredited therapist I can settle the payment with all private insurances. I also offer therapy based on private pay on a rate of 140,76€, according to the GOP (fee regulation for psychotherapists – unified valuation standard; factor 3,5). In an initial consultation you will have the opportunity to discuss with me your difficulties and the kind of help that I offer.
Health insurance:
If you are with a private health insurance, please contact your insurance company to find out whether psychotherapy is covered by your contract and if so, how many sessions. Normally psychotherapy can start right away. Besides private health insurance and Beihilfe, I can only accept private payment.
Cancellation policy:
Kindly provide 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your session. Without proper notice you will be required to pay a cancellation fee of 80 Euro for the missed session
Initial Consultation
In the initial consultation you will have the opportunity to discuss with me your difficulties and the kind of help that I offer. We will discuss expectations and decide whether the psychodynamic approach is the right one for you.
