Janik Niklas Frey

I have been working with mentally ill people since I was 23 years old. I gained my first experience in a residential home for mentally ill children and young people. After that, I worked for a long time with adults with severe psychiatric illnesses. Almost three years ago, I successfully completed my Master of Science degree in clinical psychology. As I liked the content, but wanted to gain further qualifications and more experience in clinical work with patients, I decided to start further training as a psychological psychotherapist straight afterwards. As part of this, I was able to work as a psychologist in both the psychosomatic and psychiatric clinic of the Theodor-Wenzel Werk in Berlin-Nikolassee, where I gained a lot of experience with individual and group psychotherapy in both inpatient and day-care settings. The Theodor-Wenzel Werk is a clinic that specializes in the treatment of mental illness. The therapeutic focus there is on depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, hypochondriacal disorders, somatoform disorders, pain disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, borderline disorders, eating disorders and adjustment disorders. Parallel to my work in the clinic, I receive a sound theoretical training at the Berlin Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, which deals with both the basics and today's modern developments in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic theory. I am currently in the last third of my state training to become a psychological psychotherapist for depth psychology-based psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
