Dr. rer. nat. Gregor Heiss

Humanistic Psychotherapist

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

— Carl R. Rogers

you

Whether you find yourself caught in thought spirals, struggling with stress from events like illness or loss, have questions about your sexual orientation or identity, or are going through difficult transitions like breakups or career changes – I am here to support you. Topics like overwhelm from work or family, anxiety, grief, lack of energy, or inner restlessness are welcome in my sessions.

With a background in physics and economics, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a psychotherapist. My experiences in these fields have shown me how people navigate crises, decisions, and transitions. I use these insights to support you with analytical clarity and deep compassion. I am convinced that every person carries the capacity for change within themselves, and I am here to accompany you on your journey with openness and genuine interest.

The Therapy Process

In an initial session, we can discuss your concerns, difficulties, and current situation together. We can clarify whether and how psychotherapy can help you.

I want to give you insight into my approach and inform you about the framework conditions. The initial session should also give you a sense of whether you want to work with me.

Therapy can take place in German or English.

appointments

I would be happy to discuss any open questions or concerns with you in an initial consultation.
