About Dr Marcelle Stastny Psychiatrist Cape Town

Dr Marcelle Stastny is a highly experienced psychiatrist with a deep commitment to holistic mental healthcare. She has built her career across South Africa and the United Kingdom. During this time, she worked in different psychiatric settings, including acute admissions, research, and new treatment approaches.

After years of private practice in a secluded, nature-inspired setting, Dr Stastny moved to Crescent Mediclinic in 2023. However, she saw how much the environment could affect mental well-being. As a result, she returned to a calm, nature-rich space at 1 Denbigh Road in 2024. This setting supports healing, grounding, and growth, which form key parts of her psychiatric practice.
