About Kalinka
About the Kalinka center
Kalinka is a mental health center for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions – for children, teenagers and adults.
We are named after the pomegranate (kalinka): a fruit full of seeds, a symbol of growth and togetherness. Every child carries many seeds of potential, and our job is to help them grow – together with you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers that make the first contact easier.
How do I book a first visit?
Call +389 72 232 363 or +389 2 206 0196, or fill in the contact form. We'll call you back and choose a time together.
Do I need a referral?
No. Kalinka is a private clinic and you can contact us directly, without a referral from your GP.
What does the first visit look like?
It depends on who the visit is for. For a child, we start with a conversation with the parent about development and daily life, and get to know the child through play. For an adult, we talk about the reason for coming and your expectations. The first visit is a start: a full assessment usually takes several meetings.
How do I know which service I need?
You don't have to know in advance. Tell us what you notice and we'll direct you to the right specialist.
What ages do you work with?
We work with babies and toddlers (early intervention), school-age children, teenagers and adults.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. All data and conversations are strictly confidential and handled in line with data protection law and professional ethics.
Do you work with adults, and for which services?
Yes. For adults we offer psychological assessment, psychological counselling and psychotherapy, as well as support for parents. At first contact we will direct you to the right specialist.
How much does the first visit cost and what does it include?
The price and duration depend on the type of visit and the specialist. Call +389 72 232 363 and you will get exact information about the price and what the visit includes before booking.
Which services are available online?
Psychological counselling, psychotherapy, counselling for adolescents and parent support can take place by video call. For other services, please ask when booking.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Any existing reports or assessments, if you have them, and the questions you want to ask. If you come with your child, you can also bring a favourite toy. More in our First visit guide.
Does the parent attend the session with the child?
It depends on age and purpose. Younger children usually start with a parent present; for adolescents we agree on joint and individual conversations. Parents always receive feedback.
