Frequently asked questions
During the intake phase (which can consist of several intake interviews), our psychologist tries to make a good assessment of your request for help and whether this fits with a treatment within Mindler. If this is the case, the psychologist will schedule a 2nd meeting with you. So you don't have to do this yourself.
Currently, you can receive therapy at Mindler with a valid referral letter through your GP or through a program by your employer.
If you have any doubts about whether treatment at Mindler is suitable for you, please talk to your GP. Your GP can assess whether you need a referral to Mindler, and if so, refer you digitally via Zorgdomein. You can also upload your referral letter yourself here.

We care about our clients and that you are satisfied with our care. For this, we measure client experiences in different ways. For example, clients give ratings on ZorgkaartNederland, which can be read here. In addition, clients are asked to complete the CQ index questionnaire after their treatment, with various questions about how clients experience our care. In 2023, Mindler scored an average of 8.6 on this index.
The app and our iCBT is available in Dutch and English, but our psychologists might speak other languages. You can use a language filter when you search for a psychologist.
We start the intake session with an introduction/screening in which we explain the Mindler method and ask you some initial questions. We do this to estimate whether Mindler can offer you the right help.
If we don't think we can offer you the right treatment, we will inform you of this. If possible, we will work with you to find a suitable referral, so that you can still receive the right help as soon as possible. If that is not possible, we will refer you back to your GP with advice for appropriate care.
If we come to the conclusion that Mindler can offer you the right help, your complaints and situation will be discussed in more detail. After the intake, we can give you treatment advice and make a plan.
