Is trauma therapy right for me or my child?
Our trauma therapy is designed to help children and young adults who suffer from the consequences of traumatic experiences, including divorce, relocation, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. During an introductory meeting we will determine together whether this form of therapy is suitable for you or your child.
Can I get a reimbursement from my health insurer?
While Drs. van den Brink works mostly with private pay, she has worked with health insurance policies too. We recommend that you contact your health insurer to inquire about reimbursement options for 'Alternative or Complimentary Therapy'. For families in the Netherlands, kindly inquire about a PGB (or persoonsgebonden budget) from your municipality and ask to work with Drs. van den Brink at FocusNest as your provider.
There is also a sliding scale for families having financial difficulties. Kindly inquire with Drs. van den Brink via the Contact Form.
What is the first step to begin treatment?
The first step is to schedule a 15 minute consultation in which Drs. van den Brink will determine if she can help with the issue(s).
Following that, there is an intake and a mandatory art therapy assessment, during which we will map out your situation and needs and draw up an appropriate treatment plan.
