Treatment methods

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that teaches you to look at and deal with problematic situations differently. Cognitive behavioral therapy assumes that problems are influenced and maintained by a person's thoughts and behavior. By investigating, discussing and changing that behavior and thoughts, psychological complaints decrease. During the treatment you actively work with the practitioner to improve your complaints.

​

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a form of therapy that focuses on accepting your complaints (acceptance). You learn to stop the pointless fight with (annoying) emotions, thoughts and physical sensations where possible. This creates space and attention for things that are really important to you (commitment). The goal is not to resolve or reduce complaints, but to become more mentally resilient.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a therapy for people who continue to suffer from the consequences of a shocking experience, such as a serious traffic accident or a violent crime. This is sometimes referred to as a 'trauma'. Some events can have a profound impact on people's lives. A large number of those affected process these experiences on their own. In others, psychological complaints develop. This often concerns memories of the shocking event that keep coming back, including frightening images (flashbacks) and nightmares. EMDR will gradually cause the memories to lose their strength and emotional charge. So it becomes easier and easier to think back to the original event. EMDR can also be used for other complaints, such as low self-esteem and fear of failure.

Solution-focused therapy

Solution-focused therapy is a form of care that focuses on utilizing the client's strengths and resources. Together with the care provider, the client examines which skills she already has to tackle her problems. Solution-focused therapy is short-term and results-oriented.
