Professional title

My professional title is psychiatrist and EMDR therapist. 

I am not a so-called Kela-approved psychotherapist, so you cannot receive Kela rehabilitation psychotherapy from me. I am also not on the therapist lists for demanding medical rehabilitation.

However, Kela provides reimbursement for part of my fee because I am a psychiatrist.

Psychotherapy

I do psychotherapy with adults in Finnish, Swedish and English in my private practice as a specialist doctor in psychiatry. I work from the trauma therapeutic framework and I am an EMDR therapist authorized by the European EMDR Association. I focus only on therapy, so I do not handle medication issues or write statements. You do not need a referral or statement to come to my therapy practice. 

The vision of my therapy work is a harmonious body-mind-spirit – wholeness.

Therapist

Because we people are so different and we all, even we therapists, have a unique profile for both weak points or challenges and strong sides, it is a good thing that there are many different kinds of therapists.

Most important is to find a therapist who believes that they can help, who is present, who receives you and meets you in a respectful and compassionate way, and who you believe you can collaborate with.
