Does Sztuka Harmonii accept NFZ patients?

No – the Psychological Centre Sztuka Harmonii is a private psychological practice. We do not have a contract with the National Health Fund (NFZ).

We understand that the cost of therapy can be a barrier. That is why we offer a free initial visit (15-20 minutes), during which you can meet a specialist and decide together on the next steps – with no financial commitment.

Why have we chosen the private model?

Running a private practice allows us to provide the highest quality of psychological care. In the private model we can offer a short wait for an appointment (usually a few days rather than a few months), regular weekly sessions (rather than every 2-4 weeks), a free choice of specialist and therapeutic approach, flexible hours (including evenings and weekends), no limit on the number of sessions and full confidentiality.

Our way of working rests on the belief that effective psychological help requires regularity, continuity and the right relationship with the therapist. NFZ contracts often limit the number and frequency of sessions, which can make effective therapeutic work harder.

Does Sztuka Harmonii accept NFZ patients?▼

Where can I get free psychological help in Gdańsk?▼

What are the drawbacks of seeing a psychologist through the NFZ?▼

The most common difficulties in using psychological help through the NFZ are: a long waiting time (from several weeks to several months), a referral, which psychotherapy usually requires (a psychologist or psychiatrist does not), a limited number of sessions (usually 10-12), no way of choosing a particular specialist, and less frequent appointments (every 2-4 weeks instead of every week).

Is it worth seeing a psychologist privately?▼

A private visit to a psychologist has many advantages: no queues (an appointment usually within a few days), a choice of specialist and therapeutic approach, regular weekly sessions, full confidentiality (no data in the NFZ system), flexible appointment hours and the option of online sessions. At Sztuka Harmonii we offer a free initial visit, which helps you make an informed decision.

Can I deduct a visit to a psychologist from my taxes?▼

Yes – expenses for visits to a psychologist or psychotherapist can be deducted under the rehabilitation relief if you hold a disability certificate. In other cases, an invoice for psychological services may be a tax-deductible business expense for entrepreneurs. We issue invoices on request.
