Our mission

Finding a psychologist in Amsterdam is a deeply personal journey, filled with emotional highs and lows. I personally struggled a lot to even find a therapist to talk to. My waiting time was 7 months!

This was a very hard period for me, in which I was struggling every day to just be myself within in these 7 months. If i was not blessed to have such a strong support network, I will not be here writing my story.

I was waking up everyday not recognizing myself in the mirror, not really having a reason why to get out of the bed. I felt alone, unheard and unseen.

This has to change, but how? 

I struggled with depression and anxiety for years, before realizing that I needed to change something. The change came from myself, that is why in these cases, it takes only one to tango.

This period was extremely hard for me, but it taught me a lot about myself and the people around me.

I am resilient, I am strong and I am here to tell you that you are not alone in this.

Let's see what we can do together.

The official target times, known as Treeknorms, set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) indicate that the maximum acceptable waiting time for intake is 4 weeks for either Basis or Specialist GGZ (mental health providers in the Netherlands, Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg). 

However, in practice, these times are often exceeded. On average, patients wait around 10 to 15 weeks for an intake across both types of GGZ, though this can vary based on location and the specific provider. 

Our website provide you tools with which you can easily reduce your waiting time to align with the standard practice, which should be 2 weeks maximum.

We can help you with efficiently speak to your General Practitioner (GP) and providing you a list of tailored health care provider (GGZ) which have the shorter waiting time.
