Who are you, and how can we best support you?
Everyone experiences mental ill-health differently. We get stuck in patterns that are hard to break, that reduce our ability to function day to day and diminish our quality of life. That is why treatment needs to be carefully adapted to each individual, and flexible over time.
At Nūvai we work from the premise that the healing process happens within you, and we are here to help you activate it. The foundation is evidence-based psychotherapy, which when needed can be strengthened though augmentation, where it is clinically justified. The purpose is always to support your path towards greater wellbeing, meaningful change and better everyday functioning.
Mental healthcare tailored to the individual
We help those who experience difficulties within:
- Depression

Preparation at home
During the three weeks before your first clinic visit we collect data on sleep, movement and heart function via a ring you wear at home. In the app you also answer questions that give us a deeper picture of you, your difficulties and needs, your habits and what gives your life meaning.

Psychotherapy process
Together with your therapist you deepen the therapeutic process over roughly 8–12 sessions. Treatment is based on the psychotherapeutic method you prefer and that is judged best able to help you with your difficulties. Alongside the psychotherapy you practise nervous system regulation, both on your own and with digital guidance. Sessions can take place at the clinic or online, and between visits you use Nūvai's digital tool Mellanrum to keep the process alive.

Augmentation
Augmentation with ketamine or other methods, are optional ways to support and deepen the therapeutic process. The aim is to create better conditions for change, new perspectives and behaviours that strengthen quality of life over time. Augmentation always takes place at the clinic and only after a careful assessment of risks, benefits and whether the treatment is right for you, right now.

Evaluation and follow-up
We evaluate and refine your plan over time, so that treatment continues to be relevant for you and your wellbeing. If something is not helping in a clear and sustainable way, we adjust the way forward.

Everything for the therapeutic process
Therapy does not end when the session is over. We gather insights from biometric data and self-reports between your visits to better understand how you respond to treatment and what we can do to increase precision over time. Always with your consent, of course.
Our precision therapy rests on research. Nūvai is also an academic centre conducting research in precision psychotherapy and psychedelic medicine, together with universities and pharmaceutical companies. Every treatment decision is guided by decades of evidence-based psychotherapy and medicine. We follow up continuously and adjust your treatment if something is not working.
For certain conditions, psychotherapy can be complemented with evidence-based augmentations, such as ketamine, when deemed appropriate. Every addition is introduced carefully, evaluated systematically and adapted to your goals, needs and response to treatment.
We are proud of the team of experienced therapists responsible for your treatment, in a calm and private environment. All so that you can feel comfortable and fully focused on your therapeutic work.
What is precision therapy?
You are more than what we can measure. Research does show, however, that a deeper mapping can optimise treatment further — adapted to your needs, from the start and over time.
Precision therapy is built on the idea that treatment works best when it is shaped around the individual. Through relevant biopsychosocial data and modern technology we can make more accurate assessments and follow your wellbeing over time. This means treatment can be adapted from the start and adjusted continuously, so that it works for you, in your life and for your wellbeing.
Augmented treatments
When deemed appropriate we can augment, or strengthen, your therapeutic process with evidence-based treatments intended to support, deepen and reinforce the effect of the psychotherapy. This can happen individually or in a group, according to your wishes.
- Ketamine infusion
- Psilocybin (at a partner clinic abroad where medical use is approved)
- Breathwork (Soma+IQ)
Who is Nūvai for?
If you are in treatment today
Is your current treatment not giving you the results you need? Augmented precision therapy can open a new path to wellbeing.
If you are waiting
Do you need help soon? Nūvai strives for very short waiting times. Book a first assessment call and take the step towards treatment.
Family & friends
Worried about someone who isn't getting the help they need? Book a confidential consultation to explore whether we at Nūvai can help them. We can provide treatments in the home if that is more suitable.
Clinicians
Are you unable to move forward in your therapeutic process with a patient or client? Augmentation may be an option to create an opening for meaningful change. Call or email us and we can talk more about our treatments and opportunities for collaboration at our clinic or yours.
When augmentation may be considered
Precision therapy at Nūvai is aimed at people who want to understand and change patterns linked to long-term low mood, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties or difficulties with emotion regulation, attention and impulses.
Research indicates that the therapeutic process can sometimes be strengthened, or deepened, by both medical and non-medical methods.
Augmentation with, for example, ketamine, psilocybin or breathwork (Soma+IQ) always takes place after a careful individual assessment by specialist physicians in psychiatry and anaesthesia of what is safe and meaningful for you specifically.
When augmentation is not the right path
Augmented therapy is not suitable for everyone, or in every situation, and there are times when Nūvai is not able to offer treatment. In these cases we have routines to guide you onward within the healthcare system, where we have long experience of child, adolescent and adult psychiatry, psychotherapy and primary care. If your current situation includes any of the conditions below, augmentation is not the right path right now:
- Previous psychotic episodes
- Bipolar disorder type I (only for medical augmentation)
- Acute suicidality
- Certain serious cardiovascular diseases
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If we conclude that Nūvai is not the right place for you at the moment, we will do so with care. We will then guide you to the option best suited to your situation. This also applies if your situation changes during treatment and you need a different level of care than we can offer.
Let's find the way together.
We accept clients from all over Sweden. Through a digital screening call, you get the opportunity to tell us more about your situation and explore how Nūvai can help you.
