Your primary care physician has referred you for basic mental health care. You are experiencing mild to moderate psychological problems or have been familiar with psychological issues for some time and require short-term assistance.

In brief

In addition to our range of specialized treatments, Synthese offers short-term and generalist therapy. This form of therapy focuses on treating adults who are struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues that are not considered complex. This type of care is also suitable for individuals with long-term mental health conditions who wish to maintain their functioning and prevent relapse. Our practitioners work closely with patients to help them quickly get on the path to recovery and regain control of their situation. Together with you, we will determine what is needed for you to move forward on your own.

Within our short-term general mental health care approach, we offer help for a wide range of common mental health conditions. This includes problems such as anxiety disorders, mild personality disorders, experiences of trauma, mild depression, and ADHD. Patients usually have contact with one regular practitioner, but if necessary, another care provider can also be involved in the treatment.

What can you expect?

At Synthese , we strive to offer our clients a clear and structured treatment plan for short-term generalist care. This process begins with a referral from a general practitioner or other specialist, followed by a thorough screening through a pre-intake process to assess your specific needs and situation. Following this initial screening, an intake interview is conducted, during which a questionnaire is also administered to give us a deeper understanding of your mental health. Depending on the results of the intake, a consultation is scheduled to discuss potential treatment options. The treatment itself consists of targeted sessions with regular evaluations to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. The process concludes once your goals have been achieved, and we ensure a careful and thorough completion of the treatment.

Treatment

Based on your request for help, we can use a number of different forms of therapy. These include counseling, medication, psychoeducation, self-management, psychotherapy, and e-health modules. In general, we will need 8-12 treatment sessions for this. From the start, we will make clear what is expected of you and outline a realistic picture of the duration and course of treatment. Our goal is to offer transparency and clarity so that you can enter your treatment process with confidence.

Generalist and Person-centered

A holistic approach is central to both our short-term and long-term programs. We look beyond your symptoms; we see the person behind the problem. By focusing not only on the condition, but on you as a whole person, we focus on the various areas that contribute to your overall well-being.

Strengthening Personal Control

A key aspect of our treatment, regardless of its duration, is the empowerment of our clients. We are committed to strengthening your ability to manage yourself and take control of your own life. This means that we support you in developing the skills you need to continue your life after treatment independently and with confidence.
