To Feel That You’re in Good Hands
Our clinic adopts a holistic therapeutic approach, in which different treatment methods are specifically combined. Psychological, physical and social aspects, and the way they interact, play a key role in the success of the therapy.
We offer psychotherapy, individual and group therapy, creative approaches such as art and music therapy, as well as specialised methods such as trauma therapy and relaxation techniques.
Medication
Medication
In the treatment of mental health conditions in children and adolescents, medication (psychotropic drugs) can be a valuable and sometimes necessary component. At our clinic, medication is only prescribed or reviewed following a rigorous assessment by a specialist to determine its suitability. We never take the decision to prescribe medication lightly. It is almost always part of a holistic treatment plan that also includes psychotherapeutic, educational or family support. Our aim is to alleviate acute distress, make everyday life manageable again and lay the foundations for successful psychotherapy.
Our treatment process
- Thorough diagnosis: A comprehensive psychiatric assessment before the start of any treatment.
- Joint decision: Providing detailed, age-appropriate information to parents and patients.
- Careful administration: Gradual titration (‘titration’) under close specialist supervision.
- Supportive diagnostic tests: Regular laboratory tests (blood tests) and physical examinations (ECG, pulse, blood pressure).
- Therapeutic monitoring: Continuous assessment of the desired effect in everyday life.
The development of children and young people is a dynamic process. That is why we place particular importance on the ongoing review of existing medication. We regularly ask ourselves: Is the medication still necessary? Is the dosage appropriate for their current stage of development? Are there any side effects? Our long-term aim is always to use medication for as short a period as possible and at the lowest possible dose, and, once their condition is stable, to gradually taper it off in consultation with you.
