Opening of the psychotherapeutic university outpatient clinic in Heidelberg!

Opening of the psychotherapeutic university outpatient clinic in Heidelberg!

On March 14, 2025, Heidelberg University will open new premises for its psychotherapeutic university outpatient clinic. The new headquarters is located at Bergheimer Straße 147 and will be presented at a public event. Visitors have the opportunity to exchange ideas with scientists and therapists and view the modern treatment rooms. How uni-heidelberg.de reports, the outpatient clinic combines research, teaching and psychotherapeutic practice in an innovative way.

The psychotherapeutic university outpatient clinic is not only a training center for students, but also an important contact point for adults, young people and children with mental disorders. The most common complaints include anxiety, depression, eating disorders and emotional and social problems. The outpatient clinic offers scientifically based psychotherapeutic procedures, with a focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy methods and the treatment costs are usually covered by statutory and private health insurance companies.

Insights into therapy

Students on the master’s program in “Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy” are actively involved in the treatments, which gives them practical insights into outpatient psychotherapy at an early stage. The new rooms are equipped with modern technical equipment, including an extensive video system that enables participation in therapy sessions. This progress promotes a more intensive examination of the cases treated and leads to an improvement in the training of students, such as uni-tuebingen.de supplemented.

The close integration of clinical practice and research plays a central role in the work of the university outpatient clinic. Findings from studies and theses flow directly into everyday therapeutic practice, which benefits both therapists and patients.

Opening event

The opening event on March 14th begins at 6 p.m. and includes speeches by Prof. Dr. Katja Patzel-Mattern, Prof. Barnow and Prof. Lindenberg will host a reception, a tour of the new rooms as well as a musical setting and a photo exhibition. This event is intended to offer the many interested parties an insight into the diverse offerings of the new psychotherapeutic university outpatient clinic and to highlight the university's commitment to psychotherapeutic care.

The university outpatient clinic also remains represented at the Psychological Institute in the old town, which offers an additional resource for psychotherapeutic care for the population. With the opening of the new location, the role of Heidelberg University in the psychotherapeutic landscape will be further strengthened.
