Dr. Anna Perlina

PSYCHOTHERAPY I offer psychotherapy and coaching in German, English, and Russian – both online and in-person in Berlin. I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including:

• Relationship and family crises
• Depressive episodes
• Anxiety, stress, burnout
• Emigration and other significant life transitions

My goal is to help you understand your emotions and physical reactions more deeply, let go of outdated patterns, and open yourself up to new experiences and possibilities. Sometimes that means taking risks; other times, it’s about small steps towards big change. In my presence, you can be your authentic self – without fear, shame, or guilt. I’m on your side.

COACHING In my capacity as a coach, I support your personal development and professional growth. With nearly 20 years of experience in management consulting, corporations, politics, and global institutions, I can help you find your individual path and navigate its challenges while also staying true to yourself.

GENERAL I have extensive experience working with expats and internationals. I’m committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ clients.

Money shouldn’t be the reason not to start therapy. I keep one spot at a reduced fee for someone who temporarily needs financial relief. Reach out if this feels like it’s meant for you.
