Our psychotherapy and counseling services for individuals, couples, and groups

What are goals and contents of psychotherapy at ZiSMed?

Our approach at ZiSMEd is ressource-oriented. The goal of psychotherapy is that you understand your problems or symptoms and work on gaining more self confidence and self control, more autonomy, a better quality of life and more fulfilling relationships. Therapy will not focus on just one specific problem, but rather take into account your personal and social environment and your current life situation.

At ZiSMed, we work with several different psychotherapeutic methods, such as systemic therapy or behavioral therapy. Body work, behavioral trainings and excercises are also included. Based on your question or problem we recommend working with more than one professional to include different fields of expertise, such as physical therapy, alternative therapy, or sexual therapy.
