Diagnosis, treatment and return to work
Specialist assessment and treatment for depression, anxiety, exhaustion and crises, in the context of work, responsibility and life transitions.
If you would like a sound medical and psychiatric assessment of your situation, you receive a systematic check-up. If treatment is needed, we develop an individual treatment plan together that reflects the latest knowledge from clinical practice and research. Depending on the situation, we work psychotherapeutically, with medication or in combination. You also receive support with a possible return to work. We look not only at symptoms, but at the interplay of body, mind, relationships, work and life context.
Treatment that is medically sound, takes your perspective seriously and works in everyday life.
We reflect on your situation in clear language, based on the latest knowledge from clinical practice and research.
You know your life, I know the medicine. Successful treatment grows from that interplay. We make all decisions together.
Together we select the tools and approaches that do justice to your individual reality and are concretely workable.
