How we work
What weighs on you often shows up on several levels: thoughts that keep circling, patterns you can't explain, or symptoms in your body for which your doctor finds no cause.
Often it has built up over many years, without one big event. Something overwhelmed you for a long time, or something you needed simply wasn't there. This is called complex trauma. Gently and at your pace, we help you on these levels:
Understand yourself
what is happening in your head and body
Be able to act
what you understand, you can change
Recognise patterns
including those older than you
Come back into your body
clear what stands in your way
Not every level matters equally for everyone. We find out together what fits you.
Who works with you
Caroline and Andreas are equal partners in the practice, with different ways in:
Dr. Caroline Böttiger
through understanding
Heilpraktiker for psychotherapy (German licence) and neuroscientist with a doctorate from the Charité. She explains what is happening inside you, and you learn to calm your nervous system. Her methods: neurofeedback, hypnosis, trauma therapy (EMDR, wingwave, TRE).
Andreas Weller
through the body
Heilpraktiker for psychotherapy (German licence), focus on psychosomatics. Your body shows symptoms, but medically everything is fine? Andreas looks for the origin with you: in old patterns and in your family history. His methods: kinesiology (muscle testing), family constellations.
We work closely together, and you can switch between us during your therapy.
Frequently asked questions
Are all sessions in English?

Does my health insurance pay?
Public health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenkasse) does not. Whether your private or supplementary insurance reimburses anything is best clarified with them in advance.
Which of you should I see?
If you find support in understanding, go to Caroline. If you would rather look at your body or your family history, go to Andreas. Many people switch in between, depending on what they need.
Is it possible online?
Yes, much of our work also works by video. We clarify in the free call what works well online for your topic. Only neurofeedback takes place exclusively in our practice in Berlin-Mitte.
The booking calendar is in German. Is that a problem?
No. Choose the service and a time, and enter your details as usual. If anything is unclear, simply write to us at kontakt@mitte-praxis.de.
When is it not the right fit?
If you are in an acute crisis and first need stability, if you need a prescription or medication, or if your treatment has to be billed through public health insurance.
