Dr. Maximilian Preiß

Dr. med. univ. Maximilian Preiß is a specialist in psychiatry with many years of experience in university psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, psychosomatics, and specialized psychiatric outpatient clinics. His clinical work in Innsbruck, Zurich, and Vienna, as well as his scientific work at the Medical University of Vienna, shape a modern, structured, and yet personal approach to mental health.

Drawing from his training in systemic family therapy and motivational interviewing, Dr. Preiß works in a solution- and goal-oriented manner. A trusting therapeutic relationship is central to his approach. He views medication as a joint, transparent decision – insofar as it is medically indicated – where benefits, potential side effects, and alternatives are clearly discussed and integrated into an individualized comprehensive treatment plan.

His professional focuses include the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, adult ADHD, burnout, sleep disorders, psychosomatic complaints, and addiction disorders. Through his work in various specialized clinics, he also has particular experience in treating therapy-resistant depression, somatization disorders, and complex psychiatric conditions.

Dr. Preiß stands for compassionate, honest, and scientifically-based psychiatry that takes people seriously, provides guidance, and actively shapes treatment together with them.
