We also ask you to bring a document of identification. This is a necessary prerequisite to start treatment. Valid are a passport, drivers license or ID-card.

If there’s an indication for psychotherapy, you’ll receive a treatment plan. If you agree with the treatment plan, your treatment will commence. If there isn’t an indication for psychotherapy and/or there’s no agreement on the treatment plan, we’ll refer you back to your general practitioner.
