Psychologist Merel Hovestad MSc
I studied psychology (Masters degree), direction clinical psychology in Amsterdam and it’s my passion in life, to help others see the right perspective, purpose and fulfillment in life. Getting rid of all the life trauma’s and heal from the past in order to grow the rest of your life. I’ve travelled the world for a year with my husband (before we got our two kids) and I’ve visited more than 50 countries. Travelling is my passion, now with two kids I travel with my family and our old campervan in our holidays across Europe. My mission in life is coaching people in psychology and help them healing from their past is. That’s why I’ve helped more than 1500 people in the past 17 years.
“You have the potential for greatness. But sometimes we forgot how to use our challenges and life experiences to self-actualization. Your existence deserves to be fulfilling and radiant.”
Psychologist Mascha Mooij MSc
Helping people to discover their strengths and manage their weaknesses; that’s my purpose in life. I graduated as a psychologist and have been working in mental health care for almost 15 years now. Most of my experience is in counseling and treating adults with depression, anxiety, burnout symptoms, and ADHD. During my career I improved my skills in motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Not so long ago, while I was recovering from my burnout symptoms, I experienced that everything in life is energy. Body, mind and spirit are connected and since then I’ve embraced the holistic approach to my private life and in work even more. A new beginning, that's how it feels and I'm grateful that I can reinforce the team of Psychologist Noordwijk. I’ve expanded my 'toolbox' of interventions with EFT smarttapping and will soon start with Emotional Focused Therapy for couseling couples with relationship problems. In interaction with others I am compassionate and sensitive, so that I can create a context of emotional and physical safety during therapy sessions.
Therapist Miriam Streur MSc
All my life I lived at the sea, I love to surf and the gives me a balanced life, a life in flow and I feel even more connected to myself. As a therapist this is also what I love to bring you in my sessions to your life. Because everyone needs flow, balance and connection in life. This is my focus for you in therapy. I’m specialized in family therapy, couples therapy and children. As a therapist I help High Sensitive Persons (HSP & HSS) to cope with their life problems.
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf.”
Psychologist Kristin Kiessling
"“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself”
This place inside of you, feels calm and safe.
Sometimes when life brings challenges, it is difficult to find this place of silence within you. Emotions that are nagging, intrusive thoughts that are constantly coming up, bodily sensations or whatever it is, you are struggling with. This calmness within you can feel far away then.
Hi, my name is Kristin Kiessling. I grew up in Germany and came to the Netherlands for my studies - never left, as you see. I strive to stand beside kids, youngsters and adults, to find out what they are longing for and what they need to believe in themselves again. I have experience in treating anxieties, depression, trauma’ s, ADHD, autism, emotional dysregulation, self-acceptance and Burn-out.
“Everything you need, you’ll find within you. You are the treasure!”
I love to move and do. Yoga, going for a walk and working outside in nature makes me feel calm. Moving mindfully and being aware of yourself, how you feel, what you think, are opportunities to get to know yourself better. I believe that the body is the compass. It shows how you feel, think, what your boundaries and your capabilities are.
Never forget the mind of course, it is always connected to the body: body & mind. Recognizing your own thoughts and what impact they have on you, is important. And at the same time finding out, how am I letting my thoughts be for what they are instead of fighting.
“Let’s go on a treasure hunt, finding the calmness within you”
