ABOUT FEMCARE
A place for professional depth and personal guidance
FemCare is a specialized practice for gynecopsychology in Zurich. We combine scientifically sound psychotherapeutic expertise with an open mind toward the personal story behind every situation – on-site and online.
Scientifically sound and personal.
HOW FEMCARE WAS CREATED
From experience comes a place that understands
FemCare was born out of my own experience: I also spent several years in the process of trying to conceive. I know the hopes, disappointments, decisions, and deep suffering that can be associated with it. This time showed me how closely hormonal changes and psychological experiences are connected – and how difficult it can be to find suitable, specialized support.
As a psychotherapist, I wanted to use this experience to create a place that combines professional classification with human understanding. FemCare is therefore a space for women in hormonally sensitive phases of life – with psychological expertise, guidance through the treatment process, and scientifically sound knowledge.
OUR MISSION
Specialized gynecological psychology for hormonally sensitive phases of life
FemCare offers specialized psychological support for women and their partners in phases of life where hormonal changes, physical processes, and psychological challenges closely interact. This includes the desire to have children and reproductive medicine treatments, pregnancy and the postpartum period, perimenopause and menopause, as well as cycle-related difficulties.
Our psychotherapeutic approach is based on the work of Klaus Grawe and combines scientific grounding with a deep understanding of biological, psychological, and social contexts. Our goal is to provide guidance and offer support that takes the individual reality of your life seriously.
