How can Psykologvirke contribute to you as your private practice psychologist?

No challenge is too big or small. We have encountered the majority of themes and issues.

If you are uncertain if your difficulties are suited for therapy there is only one way to find out - something we can address openly in the first session.

We offer couples therapy for couples in all stages of life, with both single sessions and continued treatment.

We adapt our methods to the client. Our psychologists in downtown Oslo are familiar with, among other things, psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, PACT, emotion focused psychotherapy, existential psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness and metacognitive therapy.

We can also offer coaching/consultation in connection with various career and life choices, as well as educational and seminar services, mapping of work environments, conflict resolution, measures to reduce sick leave, career orientated therapy, employee assistance programs, and leadership development.

We have both male and female psychologists at our offices in downtown Oslo.

What are the benefits of choosing a private practice psychologist?

Psykologvirke, located in downtown Oslo, is a private practice psychologist office. This means you will not need a referral from a physician.

By using the services of a private psychologist you are guaranteed psychological help with short waiting times so you can quickly get started before issues manage to develop further.

It is possible to make same-day appointments and you will have immediate access to an experienced psychologist of your own choosing, right in downtown Oslo.

There are no specific limitations within the treatment boundaries. These are some of the clear advantages in comparison with public psychologists.

What are the disadvantages with a private practice psychologist?

The disadvantage in using a private practice psychologist is that you must cover the cost of treatment yourself, unless you or your employer have health insurance. The majority of standard health insurance programs cover 10 therapy sessions with a private psychologist.

Many employers have health insurance for their employees. In some cases, an employer can also cover the costs of therapy outside of health insurance plans.
