Pedro Zuzarte, psychiatrist

Before treating, we need to understand.

How a consultation works

  1. Assess

    Getting to know your story, your symptoms and where they come from.

  2. Understand

    Blood tests or other tests, when needed to better understand the origin of your symptoms.

  3. Decide

    Deciding together on the treatment that makes most sense for you: psychotherapy, medication or alternative approaches.

  4. Follow up

    Following your progress closely and adapting the plan when needed.
