Got questions? I’ve got answers
Do you offer marriage and/or couples counseling?
1
At this time, I do not provide couples/marriage counseling. All sessions are held on an individual basis.
Are sessions covered by insurance?
2
As I am an international working in the Netherlands, I am not registered through BIG, therefore I do not work with insurance providers. However, if you want to seek insurance reimbursement for sessions, there are a couple options. You can initially contact your insurance provider to see if they will cover your sessions. You can also submit the invoices you receive after sessions to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.
Do I need a referral from my GP to schedule a session?
3
Nope! No referral needed. You can book a session directly online or via email. No waitlists here.
Do you work with expats/internationals?
4
Expats/internationals from any country are welcomed here! As an American living in the Netherlands, I have a unique and personal understanding of the struggles faced by expats/internationals who move abroad. If you need sessions specific to finding resources and help with integration, I can absolutely assist with this. Living in a new or different country has its own set of unique challenges, but remember to feel proud of yourself for being brave enough to try it out.
What should I expect from the counseling sessions?

Everyone has different struggles, so each client will have their sessions catered to their specific goals. These goals are discussed right from the beginning and are worked on for however long each person may need. There may be days where you just need to vent, or have space to process emotions, or may feel like you have nothing to say. All of these scenarios are very normal, but the most important thing to remember is that these sessions are for you and what you need. Be proud that you took the time and space to focus on yourself. At any point, if you feel the sessions need to be adjusted or the goals need to change, always tell your counselor. This is a safe space to voice your needs.
Do you offer sessions to university students?
6
Absolutely. Student life can be filled with stressors and complexities that can be very overwhelming. Remember that studying for a degree is both a challenge, and something to be extremely proud of. Don't feel ashamed in needing someone to talk to and seeking mental help during this difficult time.
