About Me

Your Physician for Psychosomatic Medicine, Psychotherapy and TCM in Glücksburg

Are you looking for a physician and/or psychotherapist who doesn't just treat symptoms but understands their causes and addresses them holistically? In my practice in Glücksburg, I support adults with an integrative approach that meaningfully combines conventional medical, psychotherapeutic and complementary methods.

As a physician for Psychosomatic Medicine, Psychotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I have a solid conventional medical education as well as comprehensive psychotherapeutic qualifications. My medical specialization in Psychosomatic Medicine included psychotherapeutic training with a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, I have trained in psychodynamic and systemic approaches, including elements of constellation work.

Furthermore, I am trained in schema therapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as well as various relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction). This diversity allows me to tailor therapy individually and precisely to your personal situation.

Dr. med. Desiree Mahajan

A special component of my work is Traditional Chinese Medicine, which I have been studying intensively since my medical studies. TCM is considered at its core one of the oldest forms of psychosomatic medicine and offers, particularly within the framework of medication-free treatment, diverse and well-tolerated options - for example for depression, anxiety and tension states or sleep disorders.

I see my work as a bridge between Western, scientifically-oriented medicine and Eastern, holistic healing approaches. From my experience, it is not sufficient to exclusively change behavior or analyze the past. What is decisive is an integrative understanding of how physical and emotional suffering arises - and what we can concretely do in everyday life to promote health, inner balance and sustainable change.
