At my private practice in Berlin Mitte, you will receive professional help with mental health issues and relationship conflicts. After completing my studies in psychology, I trained as a German state-certified psychological psychotherapist and I am passionate about my job. In my work as a psychologist, I greatly value being able to support people with a wide range of mental health issues, applying a variety of modern psychotherapeutic approaches.

Feel free to contact me via psych.jeken@web.de for appointments if you are interested in psychotherapy, counselling or couples therapy.

About me:

I was born and raised in Paderborn and studied psychology at the University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands. A course in humanistic psychology sparked my passion for psychotherapy and my desire to become a therapist. I wanted to offer people a space where they feel accepted and can grow as human beings. After completing my studies, I trained as a state-certified psychological psychotherapist in Berlin.                                                                       

In my work as a psychotherapist, I appreciate being able to support people with a variety of mental health issues and relationship conflicts, using a range of modern psychotherapeutic approaches. I have worked in various psychiatric wards and in the psychosomatic department of the Charité University Hospital, and I am currently working in the field of psycho-oncology at the Charité Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mainly rely on the latest developments in this field of psychotherapy (the so-called “third wave of CBT”). My clinical work is particularly influenced by schema therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. This means that my therapies are very experiental and active. My approach is informed by humanistic and existential thinking. My work is trauma-sensitive, queer-friendly, and affirms neurodiversity. The main areas of treatment in my practice are trauma-related disorders (e.g., depression, PTSD, personality disorders) and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Before and during my studies, I lived in Peru, Mexico, and the Netherlands. In addition to German and English, I speak Spanish and Dutch. Although I do not (yet) offer therapy in Spanish or Dutch, I encourage my clients to use these languages during our work together if they find it helpful.
