The WALK-IN at the Psychotherapy Outpatient Center is a new service for individuals who are suffering from psychological distress or another mental health condition and who are seeking information, guidance, or decision-making support regarding the following questions:  

  • How can my condition, symptoms and complaints be classified?
  • Am I suffering from a mental disorder?  
  • Should I start treatment?  

The WALK-IN service includes

  • Initial assessment and diagnostic clarification:
    We will offer to you a first diagnostic consultation in order to clarify your current situation and to give you an idea about “what’s wrong with you“. This is meant to increase your understanding of your current complaints or symptoms and will help you to assess the probability that your complaints might be due to a mental disorder.
  • Treatment advice and decision-aid:
    We provide guidance and support about whether or not you should seek professional help and take up treatment in order to cope with your current condition. We will inform you about the various treatment options and services at hand, and we will help to find out what fits best in your current situation.
