M.Sc. -Psych. Karla Bernat

Clinical psychologist specializing in CBT and EMDR

Founder of the Pensées Center

As part of my therapies, I attach particular importance to creating a climate of trust, allowing you to engage at your own pace while feeling safe in this therapy space that is yours.

My practice is guided by cognitive, behavioral, and emotional therapies, which I specialized in during my university studies. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, which is particularly effective in cases of trauma. I like to incorporate work that focuses on both the body and our way of thinking and seeing the world into my sessions. Existential therapy also provides an important perspective on issues that are omnipresent in therapy, but sometimes go unmentioned: loneliness, death, etc. It is with these foundations that I welcome you to our sessions and together we will co-construct a personalized treatment plan. 

Concerning my professional experiences, I notably worked at the Vivantes hospital in Neukölln, in a department of
inpatient psychiatry, at the Vivantes Clinic in Reinickendorf in a day clinic for mood disorders as well as in a reception center for migrants in Berlin (EJF).

Finally, as the mother of a young daughter, I continue to pursue my interest in research related to parenting (particularly parental burnout) by publishing scientific and popular articles and setting up therapeutic workshops on this topic to provide the best possible support to parents in difficulty.

I look forward to being able to accompany you on your own path, gently, respecting your own rhythm.
