Procedure

After registering you, we will schedule a first appointment for intake as soon as possible. During the intake procedure we will assess the nature, severity and course of your psychological problems and the possibilities for psychological treatment.

The practice aligns with regional agreements regarding the exploratory interview. If a regional exploratory interview is absent, explicit attention is paid to psychological, social, and societal factors during the intake, after which the most appropriate form of support is determined together with the client.

When you want the cost for treatment reimbursed by your health insurance, it is important to bring your referral from your general practitioner to the first appointment. It is also obligatory for us to check your identity on your identity card.

After the intake, every new client is discussed within our treatment team to determine which treatment would be the most appropriate and effective.

During your second appointment we will explain our findings and elaborate on our views about the possible treatment strategies. If you agree with the proposed treatment, we will commence soon after and inform your general practitioner. Next to treatement in our practice, we also offer online treatment by videodialing or regular phone conversations.

It might sometimes occur that the initial intake does not provide enough information to decide on the diagnosis or treatment course. Additional psychological testing might be needed. This testing is often done in-house but we also refer to outside specialized centers if needed.
