Confidential Mental and Cognitive Care
Structured. Intensive. Personal.
For individuals who require more than weekly therapy, but do not need a psychiatric hospital. Clinically Intensive. Deeply discreet. Founder-led quality care for 25 years.
A Different Level of Support
There are moments when life begins to feel unsustainable. Sleep erodes. Anxiety intensifies. Depression deepens. Trauma resurfaces. Clarity fades. Yet you are still functioning. You are not in need of hospitalization. But you know something must change.
Privé-Swiss was created for that space in between.
Our focus is on precision, neuroscience, and whole-person understanding of mental health in high-functioning individuals.
Privé-Swiss, located on the Connecticut shoreline, has over 25 years of experience providing ultra-private, physician-informed programs rooted in precision medicine, neuroscience, and whole-person mental and cognitive care. Our Mental & Cognitive Health Retreat delivers individualized psychological and emotional treatment alongside targeted support for cognitive performance and neurological resilience, while our standalone Assessment Experience provides a comprehensive diagnostic foundation to guide personalized care. All services are delivered by a multidisciplinary medical team with an emphasis on clinical rigor, discretion, and continuity of care.
Care is delivered exclusively one-to-one in a refined residential setting, allowing each program to be entirely tailored to the individual.
The Missing Dimension of Longevity
We have become remarkably sophisticated at extending lifespan. We remain far less sophisticated at addressing the psychological, emotional and behavioral forces that determine how those years are actually lived.
For over three decades, Heidi Kunzli has worked at that intersection. In the video above, hear from the multidisciplinary team of experts she leads at Privé-Swiss, as they explore the targeted programs bringing to life her vision for a more complete approach to health and longevity.

Who This Is For
Privé-Swiss is appropriate for individuals who:
- Are emotionally struggling but not psychotic or actively suicidal
- Do not require hospital-level containment
- Need more than weekly therapy
- Require privacy and discretion
- Want structured, immersive care
- Are willing to step away briefly to return stronger
Many are leaders, founders, professionals, or private individuals carrying significant responsibility. They are not incapable. They are overwhelmed.
What Individuals Often Regain
They regain sleep.
They regain emotional steadiness.
They regain cognitive clarity.
They regain decision-making confidence.
They regain direction.
The goal is not dependency.
The goal is restored capacity.
For more than 25 years, Privé-Swiss has quietly cared for individuals and families seeking the highest level of private, customized care for mental clarity, emotional wellbeing, and long-term cognitive vitality.
Intensive Clinical Care — Without Institutional Atmosphere
Traditional systems are built around two extremes:
Weekly outpatient therapy. Or inpatient psychiatric hospitalization.
Very few environments exist for individuals who need immersive, structured, clinically serious care — without entering a hospital setting.
Privé-Swiss provides:
- Intensive one-to-one psychotherapy
- Psychiatric collaboration when appropriate
- Neuropsychological insight
- Sleep and biological assessment
- Trauma-informed care
- Structured emotional stabilization
All within a discreet luxury retreat environment that preserves privacy and autonomy.
Entirely One-to-One
No group therapy rooms. No shared schedules. No large patient population. No institutional setting.
Every experience is structured around the individual — their history, their responsibilities, and their goals.
Many who come here would never enter a traditional facility.
They do not need containment. They need depth. For more than two decades, Privé-Swiss has been trusted by global leaders, entrepreneurs, and even pioneers of the wellness and healthcare industries when they themselves require private, individualized care.
“If what you require is the most exclusive, under-the-radar, fully bespoke treatment, entirely one-on-one, you have but one choice: Privé-Swiss.”
– Town & Country magazine
“I am on my way to the airport and wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed my stay and achieved all of my goals. It was indeed money well spent. I came with doubt, anxiety and anger. I am leaving with a clear mind, excited of the future ahead. … This is a remarkable outcome for someone who never believed in therapy.”
If You Are Quietly Considering Support
You do not need to have the answers before reaching out. A private conversation is the first step.
