Psychotherapy is fully or partially covered by Dutch health insurance. The fees are set by the Nederlandse Zorg Authoriteit (Dutch Health Authority). You will need a referral from your huisarts (General practitioner), referring you to gespecialiseerde GGZ (specialized mental health care).

Outside the “Gespecialiseerde GGZ” structure, the fee for a 90 minute intake session is €280 and the 45 minute follow-up session is €170.

Sometimes a sliding scale applies for a select group of uninsured and low income clients.

• schema therapy

• cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

• compassion-focused interventions

• EMDR

• psychoeducation and practical emotion regulation strategies
   

Suitability

Treatment is intended for people who are motivated for psychotherapy and are able to participate in regular sessions.

In some cases, another treatment setting may be more appropriate, for example when there is a primary need for crisis care, intensive multidisciplinary treatment, inpatient care, or medication-focused psychiatric treatment. If needed, this will be discussed during intake and I will help think along about a more suitable referral.
