Tanja Svirskis

I treat all kinds of psychiatric problems. Good care is based on a sufficiently accurate psychiatric assessment. Therefore, the first visit (more visits if necessary) will focus on a thorough examination and assessment of the patient’s situation.

My services also include psychotherapy assessments, work ability assessments, second opinions and all necessary statements. I use EMDR or eye movement therapy to treat trauma memories.

In psychiatry, problems often also affect the family and loved ones. For this reason, it is natural that they participate in the treatment with the patient’s permission, if necessary.

I also offer remote receptions. Remote reception is via Zoom application, which means you need a computer, smartphone or tablet with an Internet connection and an e-mail address. Please indicate your email address when booking an appointment. You will receive a link in your email 15 minutes before the start of the reception, which will click to connect you to the remote reception.
