About Us
CHMC, German Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychology
Clinic for Health and Medical Care (CHMC) is a German Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychology located in Dubai. We offer psychiatric, and psychological treatment for the entire spectrum of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and more. We use telemedicine so that our patients can continue their therapy right from their homes. The counselling by our psychologists can be done entirely online. However, the psychiatric treatment would require your visit in Dubai for around one week.
Our state-of-art treatment consists of in-depth diagnostics and carefully thought treatment plan. The clinic is equipped with all necessary devices allowing us to do the full psychiatric evaluation and diagnostics within 90 minutes. During the entire therapy the patient will be seen by the same psychiatrist and/or counsellor which provides the necessary continuity.
The clinic is directed by Dr. Kowal, a German Board-certified Consultant in Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, and Family Medicine. The Head Psychologist is Dr. Schonder, an American Board-certified psychologist, hypnotherapist, and marriage counsellor.
