Yes, your psychologist will remain the same during the entire treatment. If you don't feel a good connection with them during the first meeting, you may change psychologist 1 time free of charge. In addition, in some situations, an extra meeting with a supervising practitioner will be necessary.

What your treatment at Mindler looks like depends on your request for help. Every situation is different. During the intake phase, your psychologist will discuss your requests with you and create a treatment plan.

The different methods of therapy will also be discussed with you. We mainly use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and EMDR within Mindler.

Our sessions last 30 or 45 minutes, depending on the psychologist you choose. The initial intake is generally 30 minutes. Don’t worry, if more time is needed, a second intake interview will be scheduled with you.

We start the intake session with an introduction/screening in which we explain the Mindler method and ask you a number of initial questions. We do this to estimate whether Mindler can offer you the right help.

If your complaints do not seem to match well with Mindler, we can inform you more quickly. 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 it seems to fit, then your complaints and situation will be discussed in more detail. After the intake, we can give you a treatment advice and plan.

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.
