Doctors

Neurologist and psychotherapist Gintarė Aukselė consults on general neurology, diagnoses and treats headaches of various origins and cerebrovascular diseases, and works on stroke prevention and treatment as well as chronic pain management. She also works with psychosomatic, anxiety and conversion disorders.

Neurology is a very broad field of medicine that often overlaps with traumatology, gastroenterology and family medicine. In her work, the doctor mostly deals with pain of various origins, but neurology also covers disorders of consciousness and movement.

Gintarė Aukselė has also acquired a second specialty: psychotherapy. According to the doctor, this allows her to build a close and respectful relationship with patients and to see a person not only through their symptoms, but also through the context of their experiences and life.

The doctor works and gains professional experience at the Stroke Centre of the Republican University Hospital, where she mostly deals with emergency neurology. She also works as a psychotherapist at the psychotherapy studio “Terapija ir citrinos”.
