The trauma center

At the Trauma Centre, we are building a competence center for trauma psychology. This includes patient treatment in line with the latest wave of effective and recognized methods, teaching and guidance by other healthcare professionals, as well as courses and conferences.

Additionally, we work from mainstream psychological base assumptions and are well-versed in a variety of methods. We work continuously to further our levels of competence through, among other things, regular seminars and supervision.

If you schedule an appointment with us you are therefore guaranteed to immediately be dealing with specialized, up-to-date and experienced psychologists, male or female depending on your preference, in the middle of downtown Oslo.

If you have already decided to contact us, you can send a request for further information or book an appointment online here..

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

Our psychologists can work with everything from life difficulties of shorter duration (for example various crises and dilemmas) to anxiety and depression as well as more long-term difficulties connected to self-esteem and relationships.

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 us as private psychologist you are guaranteed psychological help with a short waiting time, so you get started quickly before the problems develop.

Sometimes you can get a private psychologist on the day and you will come straight to an experienced, self-selected psychologist in central 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.  

If you pay yourself the expense may be tax-deductible (see taxation law §6-83) You can click this link for further details concerning alternatives for both public and private psychologists in downtown Oslo. Public and private psychologist in Oslo
