Psychotherapy Doctor
Robert Alfred Leonhardt, M.D.
I was born at the former Bluff Hospital in 1955 and moved to Germany in 1968, where I attended high school and university in Hamburg.
After graduating from medical school, I specialized in internal medicine, allergology, and social medicine. My psychotherapeutic training took place at the psychiatric hospital in Königslutter, Lower Saxony; the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotraumatology at the German Military Hospital in Berlin; and the Institute of Psychotherapy in Erfurt, Thuringia.
I have practiced psychotherapy both at the military hospital and in private practice. After relocating to Japan in March 2022, I now practice in Tokyo once a week.
My therapeutic approach is psychoanalytic, focusing on uncovering the basic conflicts underlying neurotic disorders. I offer therapeutic services for cases of anxiety, depression, couples counseling, and cultural adaptation problems.
I am fluent in German, English, and Japanese. As both an internist and psychotherapist, I adopt a holistic approach in my practice.
