Expat Psychologist

We are pleased to meet you!

Not alone any longer ...
For all of us, there are times when we could do with some help. Help in finding new perspective, in learning how to cope, in regaining control over our own lives. We can work our way around many of the obstacles we face in life alone or with a little help from family and friends. But not all of them.

Some problems and questions in life leave you solitary. And no matter how much effort you put into ‘fixing this’, you cannot do it alone. And you don’t have to. We offer dedicated guidance in therapy and coaching. From now on, you’re not alone anymore.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.
We are practicing psychologists and therapists Ben Kalkhoven, Matty van Roozendaal, Ingela Sjögren, Rene Maessen, Suzana Cvetković, Hans Schuurman, Annebet Nolen, Doesjka Tromp, John van de Wiel, and Susan Moll. Our psychologists practices are located in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Haarlem, Tilburg, and Amstelveen.

Ben Kalkhoven and Matty van Roozendaal

Most problems tend to have simple solutions when perspective is shifted. We don’t force the issue; we travel the path together. In many cases my profession is considered a ‘cold’ one, reduced to practical models, effective methods and calculated results. These are handy, important and often useful. But without being applied in a loving and caring way, they miss the target.

Remember, it’s about you!

In my work, I aim for deep, positive growth – no short-term ‘patch-ups’. For this, we need time and we need to put effort into it. Without making it unnecessarily hard, but with attention and a view on the difficult topics. My therapy starts with your captive potential.
