Dr. med. Alexandra Röttgen

Dr. med. Alexandra Röttgen is a medical psychotherapist, licensed in depth psychology-based psychotherapy with systemic therapy as a secondary method. She has over 20 years of professional experience as a specialist in internal medicine/cardiology and has been working as a senior physician with a focus on interventional cardiology since 2011. Since 2017, she has been researching the evidence of psychosocial factors as risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the influence of cardiac disease on mental health, integrating these psychocardiological approaches into her somatic practice at an early stage. In 2018, she completed additional training in psychotherapy. Dr Röttgen has therefore developed a psychodynamic understanding of illness in addition to her acute medical knowledge, giving her a holistic view of human existence. This shapes her therapeutic approach. She reflects with you on your current suffering and works with you to develop a deeper understanding of your biography and your individual way of dealing with difficulties and critical life events. This allows recurring, problematic thought and behaviour patterns to be identified so that health-promoting alternatives can be established. Dr Röttgen's goal is to motivate you to use your energy and resources to strengthen your mental well-being and develop an accepting attitude towards yourself.
