Dr. med. univ.
Claus Derganc
Health is a dynamic balance of body, mind and soul. In my practice, I offer you a safe space where modern medicine and holistic health promotion go hand in hand.
At the center of my work, alongside my activity as a general practitioner, is the accompaniment of people in altered states of consciousness, particularly in the context of ketamine-augmented psychotherapy. Through my comprehensive training at the MIND Foundation Berlin and the Academy for Psychotherapeutic Medicine, combined with my long-standing meditation practice, I accompany you competently and empathetically on your personal path to healing.
My therapeutic approach is based on the conviction: Healing unfolds its full power when we view the person holistically and bring body, mind and soul into harmony.
Focus Areas
In addition to therapeutic work, the preventive medical approach is particularly important to me. Together we develop strategies to sustainably enhance your quality of life:
- Nutrition: Whole-food, predominantly plant-based nutrition for the prevention of chronic diseases
- Exercise: Regular physical activity as an antidepressant and health-promoting measure
- Social Connection: Strengthening relationships to reduce health risks
- Relaxation & Regeneration: Methods for stress regulation such as mindfulness and breathwork
- Sleep & Circadian Rhythm: Establishing a stable day-night rhythm
- Fasting & Metabolism: Intelligent fasting strategies to activate regenerative processes
I see myself as a companion on your journey – with openness, professional competence and respect for your uniqueness. Schedule an Initial Consultation now, and let us determine which path is right for you.

Ketamine-Augmented Psychotherapy
In ketamine-augmented therapy, altered states of consciousness are deliberately utilized to enable sustainable psychological healing processes. Ketamine serves as a pharmacological agent that opens emotional access, promotes therapeutic depth and stimulates neurobiological changes.
These ketamine-induced experiences frequently enable direct insights into suffering-causing issues, promote emotional processing and create space for new perspectives. Patients particularly benefit who suffer from treatment-resistant psychological conditions such as depression, Anxiety Disorders or post-traumatic stress disorders. Our therapy offers them the opportunity to process difficult-to-access emotional issues and create the foundation for long-term improved mental health and resilience.
To make these significant inner processes lastingly effective, psychotherapeutic support before, during and after the experience is a recommended option in treatment.
