Portrait of Birgit Plenk, psychotherapist in training under teaching supervision at Die Wiener Praxis in Vienna.

Mag. Birgit Plenk, BA pth.

Birgit Plenk sees the person in their entirety - with all their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Through her work as a physiotherapist, she has not only gained insight into physical ailments, but has also witnessed the associated psychological burdens that patients experience, which are caused by surgeries, chronic illnesses, and pain.
With her specialization in individual psychology, she accompanies people through personal crises, supports them with anxiety and eating disorders or helps them to rediscover their own purpose in life. Her scientific work on sport and exercise to combat depression reflects her holistic view of the mind and body. She gained valuable practical experience in adult psychiatry, in a center for eating disorders, at the Sindelar Center and at the SFU University Outpatient Clinic. There she deepened her knowledge in dealing with a wide range of topics and target groups - from young adults to senior citizens, from relationship problems to trauma. If you are looking for a warm, reflective and at the same time practical approach to psychotherapy, you have come to the right place.
