Psychotherapy

At Best Practice adults of 18 years and older receive Specialized Mental Health Care for persistent, complex, and/ or severe psychological problems or complaints that interfere negatively with multiple areas in your life and that do not gradually decrease over time nor decrease with the help of the people close to you. These are problems or complaints that substantially disrupt your daily functioning such as complex (sexual) trauma, anxiety, clinical depression, complaints due to developmental problems such as AD(H)D and/ or Autism, or severely impairing issues regarding your personality, your (gender) identity, sexuality, and/ or (traumatic) personal history. Also treatment for persistent psychological distress due to a severe medical condition such as limitations in your daily functioning because of a chronic disease is offered by Best Practice.

Psychotherapy is individual counseling aiming to reduce these severe psychological problems and complaints. The focus of psychotherapy is for you to gain insight into your unique being and to learn new ways of addressing your thoughts, emotions, and behavior in order to ease your daily functioning. A referral by the General Practitioner for Specialized Mental Health Care is mandatory.

The variants of therapy that are used at Best Practice have been scientifically proven to be effective. Treatment is executed by a licensed Clinical Psychologist/ Psychotherapist and Sexologist NVVS in accordance with the Dutch golden standards for mental health care. Evidence based techniques and interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma treatment are conducted by a licensed and certified Clinical Psychologist/ Psychotherapist/ Sexologist NVVS.
