Dr. Zanda Birgele - resident doctor at the RSU Clinic of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy.
Dr. Birgele obtained her medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine at Riga Stradiņš University, additionally completing the Pediatric Studies program.
During her studies, she participated in academic and practical training experiences in Slovenia, Indonesia, and the Netherlands, gaining a broader perspective on people from diverse cultural backgrounds and worldviews.
She believes that a doctor's role is not only to address the consequences of mental health disorders but also to understand their underlying causes. This is why she sees psychotherapy as a highly valuable, significant, and effective tool for improving health and well-being.
"Our emotions have their own special wisdom."
