She specialized in psychotherapeutic sciences at the Sigmund Freud Private University, where she graduated in 2018. A specialization in psychoanalysis and a doctorate at the Sigmund Freud Private University round off her well-founded and versatile academic education.

She also works as a teaching analyst and supervisor and accompanies prospective psychoanalysts and colleagues in their professional and personal development.

After initially working in her own practice, Katrin has been a cooperation partner of the psychotherapeutic center Wiener Couch since 2018. She was a contractual partner there for 6 years.

Dr. Katrin Wippersberg is an experienced psychoanalyst and psychotherapist who specializes in supporting parents, children, adolescents and families. With a deep understanding of child and adolescent development processes, family dynamics and the challenges of parenting, she helps parents to better understand the emotional, social and cognitive phases of their children.

In addition to parent-centered work, she also supports children and young people directly in challenging phases of their lives. These include emotional crises, self-esteem problems, anxiety, psychosomatic complaints or conspicuous behavior. In her therapeutic work, she creates a protected space in which young people can express their thoughts and feelings and develop new solutions.

Thanks to her sound training in psychoanalysis and her many years of clinical experience, she helps parents, children and adolescents to understand inner conflicts, strengthen their bond with each other and find support together in stressful situations.

A particular focus of her work is family therapy. She supports families in overcoming difficult situations such as separations, patchwork constellations, school problems or emotional stress together. She promotes a better understanding of the individual needs of all family members and helps them to find new ways to live together in harmony.
