Dr. Micaela Santos Brosch
Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist FMH
I am passionate about person-centered care and transforming a moment of crisis into an opportunity for transformation and growth.
The Human fascinates me, the complexity of the brain, the depth of the soul, the beauty of the bond, the dark side always ready to catch up with us if we dare not look it in the face and tame it.
I find myself at this crossroads, with 16 years of clinical practice in psychiatry and psychotherapy in Geneva and two years of basic research in brain neurobiology in New York; and vulnerable of continued personal work as a human, professional woman, mother and wife.
I therefore receive you as a psychiatrist to offer you neurobiological solutions for your brain, as a Jungian psychotherapist to accompany you in the discovery of your depth and as a human being to listen without judging and together find the right solution for you.
