The staff of the CLINICUM ALPINUM are crucial for successful therapy. For this reason, the same high standards are applied in the selection of personnel in all areas. First and foremost, there is openness towards people with mental illnesses, but also a work and life biography that shows resilience, the ability to adjust and adapt, and team spirit.
André Gamper
Clinic Director
“We see ourselves as a resilient treatment partner for people with severe mental and physical illnesses, their relatives and families. The CLINICUM ALPINUM is a modern specialist clinic – an “intensive care unit” for depressive illness and all the accompanying phenomena.”
Doctors
Dr. med. Dr. phil. Pavel Ptyushkin
Chief Physician and Specialist FMH for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy
“The emotional pain is a part of our life. The psychological suffering, which can be unbearable, occurs when we try to escape from this pain. Our treatment is not a mechanical “repair”. It is created on the basis of the relationship between the patient and the therapist, who together face the painful and together look for solutions and answers – why am I suffering? What do I need? Who am I? We will not leave you alone on this road to recovery.”
Julia Vasileva
Senior physician, specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy
“The emotional health of women during sensitive phases of life such as pregnancy, after childbirth, or when struggling with infertility deserves special attention. My goal is to support women through these challenges with professional expertise, calmness, and compassion.”
Klaus Ehlers
Senior Physician, Specialist in Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy
“Holistic medicine means treating, developing, and reintegrating the body, soul, and spirit. Medicine, psychotherapy, exercise, experiential methods such as music and art therapy, nutrition, and the incorporation of nature shaped the path to recovery here. Attentive, benevolent, and consistently humane support and interaction create a supportive framework and encourage patients to embark on this path of change.”
Magdalena Filzwieser
MD, specialist in general medicine
“Mens sana in corpore sano” – a healthy mind in a healthy body. Even in ancient times, it was known that the mind and body are closely interrelated. My focus is therefore on identifying and treating purely physical ‘somatic’ complaints in order to provide the process of mental recovery with as solid and sustainable a foundation as possible.”
Maria Teresa Lucheroni
MD, specialist in dermatology (Italy), author of numerous specialist books
“In the field of psychosomatic therapy, my approach is based, among other things, on current neurobiological findings, in particular the concept of embodiment, which understands the body as the central carrier of emotional and psychological processes.”
Psychologists
Pascal Büttiker
Psychologist Ph.D.
Medical psychology with a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral medicine, and metabolic processes
“Formative experiences can disrupt not only emotional well-being, but also metabolism and energy balance, thereby impairing perception and immune function. Treatment aims to restore balance to these neuroenergetic processes.”
Theresa Wald
Psychologist M.Sc.
Systemic-integrative psychotherapyes
“Psychotherapy helps people understand psychological stress and find individual ways to cope with it. In my work, I offer a safe environment characterized by empathy, openness, and clarity, in which people can develop trust, strengthen their resources, develop new perspectives, and thus improve their quality of life in the long term.”
Sandra Müller
Mag.rer.nat. Clinical psychologist and health psychologist, mediator
Addiction disorders, clinical hypnosis according to Milton Erickson, mediation
“I believe in the power of inner images. The idea of desired developments in the future significantly supports confidence and creativity in the present. Therefore, it is valuable to collect ”inner images“ and archive them as a personal mental photo album so that they are available when needed.”
Sabina Siginur
M.Sc. Clinical Psychologist
Depth Psychology Psychotherapy
“I believe that healing change happens in genuine human encounters—where understanding and compassion meet honest observation.”
Noelia Pérez
Clinical Psychologist M.Sc.
Psychotherapist with a cognitive behavioral and interpersonal approach (according to Klaus Grawe)
“Change begins when we understand how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are intertwined. In therapy, we help people recognize inner patterns, develop new perspectives, and gradually regain confidence in their own strengths.”
Leon Schädler
Psychologist M.Sc.
Neurophysiology with a focus on neurodiversity, ILF neurofeedback (Othmer method)
“The human brain is a highly complex, dynamic system—and each one functions in its own way. Neurophysiological diagnostics help us understand which neural processes underlie this and where dysregulation occurs. The focus is on understanding how the individual brain works—and which therapeutic approaches follow from this.”
