Mental health

Mental health encompasses the state of emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. Our psyche characterises us as individuals with mental and emotional attributes and personality traits.

Our thinking and feeling, our drive and decisiveness, our dreams and fantasies, conscious and unconscious: all of this ultimately shapes our relationship formation and our behaviour. Factors from our environment, genetic predispositions, physical illnesses, or a combination of these can cause our psyche to become unbalanced. Psychological disorders or psychiatric or psychosomatic clinical pictures can occur. Finding, strengthening, maintaining or regaining one's own balance is an ongoing process.

We support this process with psychotherapeutic and, if necessary, also with psychopharmacological options. These measures are based at all times on a multimodal therapeutic approach and a holistic view of the human being. We offer our patients comprehensive treatment for mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and trauma. We focus on individual and holistic care and state-of-the-art therapy options. Our goal is to improve our patients' quality of life and help them lead fulfilling lives.

What we offer

Whether you are aiming to focus on prevention or are already experiencing a burnout process: targeted advice and treatment of the symptoms of burnout and exhaustion will help with your self-management. Symptom-oriented treatment can be provided for depressive symptoms, cognitive impairments (memory, retention, concentration), anxiety, sleep disorders or substance abuse.

Depression places an enormous burden on those affected and their loved ones. Feelings of powerlessness and helplessness can lead to despair, which can even result in suicidal thoughts. The good news is that depression can be treated extremely effectively by means of psychotherapy, combined if necessary with drug therapy.

Anxiety and compulsions are becoming increasingly frequent in our society, possibly also due to the fact that those affected now talk more openly about their condition and are prepared to seek help. Significant progress can usually be made by means of behavioural therapy measures and by learning relaxation techniques. Well-tolerated medication is also available if necessary.

There is probably no life without grief and crises. The question is in which situation the bereavement or crisis will affect us, and what resources we have available to overcome it. A therapeutic consultation can help to reduce suffering and avoid resignation or even depression.

Sexuality is an extremely intimate aspect of our personality, one that develops and changes throughout our lives. The changes that occur can be unsettling. Physical illness, mental stress or relationship problems can have a negative impact on sexuality. The situation can be improved by means of specific sexual therapy or treatment of the underlying relationship or psychological problems. Underlying physical conditions should also be understood and treated in collaboration with other medical professionals (cardiology, endocrinology, urology, gynaecology).

Would you like to understand yourself better? Are you wondering why you always fall into the same traps and patterns in your private or professional life? Would you like to develop or change personally or professionally? Individual and target-oriented support can be provided by means of self-awareness and supervision. We can discuss your objectives and the subsequent steps with you in an investigative discussion.
