The studio is part of an integrative, holistic concept to promote physical and mental health, which also includes therapeutic services.
In addition to our psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, and functional medical practice essential mind, this network includes further services and cooperation partners from the medical, therapeutic, and counseling fields.
In order to reduce existing reservations, we believe that prevention, support, and treatment should synergistically and dynamically go hand in hand and be designed to be as modern, low-threshold and accessible, depathologizing and destigmatizing as possible.
We look forward to creating a safe, respectful, compassionate and appreciative place together, which brings these various facets to life.
