A podcast about getting therapy in Berlin, hosted by Matilde Kaizer and Jöran Mandik.
Finding a therapist in Berlin is hard. But it’s not your fault. The system is a mess, there are too few insurance-funded therapists and no one seems to care. It’s a nightmare, especially when you’re depressed. We’re here to help.
Get Help Berlin is a series about why the therapy system is broken, and what we can do to help ourselves. Hosts Matilde Kaiser and Jöran Mandik share their personal stories, get insights from guests and listeners, uncover astounding scandals and offer practical solutions.
