Psychotherapy for children and adolescents
Children and young people need an age-appropriate approach to individual problems using age-appropriate methods. That's why I always meet my clients where they feel mentally and emotionally at the moment. At the beginning of the therapy process, the focus is on building a relationship. Depending on age, the current environment is explored through games, conversations and joint exploration. In many cases, it also makes sense to involve parents, siblings or other relatives in the process of healing and growth. In the further course of therapy, various psychotherapeutic methods are used to very specifically reduce suffering and regain quality of life for the client and their family.
Psychotherapy is helpful for:
- Difficulties at school, truancy
- Sexual abuse, rape
- ADHD, "fidget spinner" syndrome
- Experience of violence and bullying
- Trauma treatment
- Grieving processes, for example in the event of parental divorce, death in the family, etc.
- Conflicts with parents and peers
- Sleep disorders
- Eating disorders
- Panic attacks and anxiety
- Sex addiction / cybersex addiction
- Internet addiction
- Compulsions / compulsive actions
- Pressure to perform / exam anxiety
- Depression and suicidal tendencies
In addition, I offer therapy in accordance with § 51 para. 2 STGB.
My mission
I am Hermann Walter, born in Vorarlberg in 1963, and my mission is to accompany people on their way to a fulfilled life. As a qualified social worker and family therapist according to Virginia Satir, I firmly believe that change is always possible and that the desire for change is the first and most important step.
I have been working as a psychotherapist since 1993 and opened my practice in Vorarlberg after traveling extensively in Asia and Australia. My international work with "Doctors without Borders" and CARE in crisis areas has shown me how important cultural sensitivity and human connection are.
Working with children and families is particularly close to my heart. I realized this during my time at the "Möwe" child protection center in Mistelbach from 2006 to 2010. I have been running a practice in Vienna since 2012, where I provide therapeutic support for children, adolescents and adults.
My mission is also influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and Tango Argentino. Both teach me mindful communication and consciously staying in the moment - qualities that I pass on in my therapeutic work.
My aim is to help people discover and utilize their inner resources in order to lead a fulfilled and happy life.
Children have to be very lenient with adults.
