Support for Adults

Psychologist

What does a psychologist do?

Psychologists help to understand emotions, name what is difficult, and find balance in everyday life. They provide support during moments of crisis, overload, mood decline, anxiety, or problems with concentration, sleep, or relationships. It’s the first step when you feel something is happening but find it hard to put into words.

His tasks include, among others:

  • Helping to solve emotional and life problems, such as stress, anxiety, depression, personal crises, or relationship difficulties.
  • Diagnosing mental disorders based on conversations, psychological tests, and observations.
  • Supporting personal development – e.g., building self-awareness, self-confidence, managing emotions.
  • Conducting psychological therapy (depending on specialization and qualifications).
  • Helping to adapt to difficult life situations, such as grief, illness, or job change.
  • Educational work – teaching strategies for coping with stress, resolving conflicts, or interpersonal communication.
  • Supporting children and adolescents in emotional, social, and school development.
Important: A psychologist does not always conduct psychotherapy (this requires additional qualifications as a psychotherapist) and does not prescribe medication (this is done by a psychiatrist).

Support tailored to you

In our work, we combine empathy with psychological knowledge to provide real help. Meetings with a psychologist offer a space for conversation, reflection, and jointly seeking solutions. You don’t need to have ready answers – just come as you are. We are here to support you in the way you need.

Psychologist

What does a psychotherapist do?

A psychotherapist helps people cope with emotional, mental, and relationship difficulties. They assist in reaching deeper – to emotions, beliefs, and patterns that influence your life. They work with past experiences, traumas, difficult relationships, or prolonged stress. They also work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life crises, personality disorders, or addictions. Through psychotherapy, you can better understand yourself and, most importantly, learn to respond differently than before.
In therapeutic work, a psychotherapist uses various methods and techniques (depending on their approach, e.g., psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic), conducting conversations, helping you better understand yourself, your emotions, behavior patterns, and supporting you in the process of change.

His work includes, among others:

  • Diagnosing mental illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, bipolar affective disorder, or addictions.
  • Conducting pharmacotherapy – prescribing and monitoring the effects of psychotropic drugs (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers).
  • Conducting psychotherapy or referring for psychotherapy (a psychiatrist can conduct therapy themselves if qualified or collaborate with psychotherapists).
  • Issuing medical opinions – e.g., for court, insurance, or work capacity assessments.
  • Hospitalizing patients in cases of serious disorders that threaten health or life.

A meaningful process of change

Psychotherapy is not a quick fix but a process that genuinely changes the way of thinking, feeling, and functioning. Our therapists support people with addictions, eating disorders, PTSD, children of alcoholics (COA), in relationships, and in working with anxiety and trauma. We work in various approaches, also using modern methods such as VR and EMDR.

Psychiatrist

What does a psychiatrist do?

A psychiatrist is a doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. They help in situations where symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, mood swings, or suicidal thoughts hinder daily functioning. They may recommend pharmacotherapy but primarily tailor treatment to the individual – not just to the diagnosis.

Treatment based on understanding

Working with a psychiatrist is not just about prescriptions, but also conversation and jointly seeking effective solutions. Our doctors work with mindfulness and empathy, often combined with psychotherapy, supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, and adjustment disorders.

Sexologist

What does a sexologist do?

A sexologist is a specialist in human sexual health. Their work includes diagnosing, treating, and supporting issues related to sexuality, such as:
  • sexual disorders (e.g., erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, lack of orgasm, painful intercourse),
  • difficulties in intimate relationships,
  • problems with gender identity or sexual orientation,
  • sexual addictions,
  • sexual education and sexual health prevention,
  • support after sexual trauma (e.g., sexual violence).
This is a space where you can openly talk about things often “swept under the rug.”

Sexuality is part of mental health

Sexuality is an integral part of mental health and overall human well-being. Sexual health is defined as “a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality.”
This means that healthy sexuality includes:
  • acceptance of one’s own sexuality,
  • the right to pleasure and intimacy,
  • the ability to build healthy, respectful relationships,
  • absence of violence, pressure, or discrimination,
  • the possibility to express oneself in accordance with personal values and identity.
Problems in the area of sexuality — such as shame, repression, trauma, or lack of acceptance — can lead to serious emotional difficulties: depression, anxiety, relationship disorders, lowered self-esteem. Because sexuality is not a taboo — it’s an important part of you.

Support for Children

Child psychologist

What does a child psychologist do?

A child psychologist supports children and adolescents in coping with emotions, stress, and difficulties in functioning. They help when a child has problems with concentration, learning, sleep, anger outbursts, withdrawal, or difficult relationships with peers or family.

The child’s psyche also needs attention

In work with children, understanding—not judging—is key. A psychologist helps young people build mental resilience, recognize emotions, manage stress, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. They also support children in crises, experiences of violence, eating disorders, gender identity issues, and functioning within the ADHD spectrum.

Speech therapist

What does a speech therapist do?

A speech therapist helps children develop speech, correct sound pronunciation, language comprehension, and effective communication. They support in cases of delayed speech development, articulation difficulties, stuttering, as well as problems with expressing needs or constructing statements.

Speaking is the key to relationships

Language difficulties affect not only learning but also self-esteem and social interactions. A speech therapist works with children on the autism spectrum, bilingual children, and those who need extra support for their voice to be heard for various reasons. Therapy is conducted through play, which develops not only speech but also self-confidence.
