This service helps establish whether psychotherapy, medication, or combination treatment will best address individual needs. Patients receive personalized recommendations based on thorough assessment of their specific challenges and life circumstances.

Long-term psychoanalytic treatment explores unconscious patterns affecting current behavior and relationships. This intensive approach helps patients understand deep-seated emotional conflicts and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
