Therapy process:

I aim to make my support easily accessible and transparent. I work with previously determined evaluation moments while maintaining flexibility for each individual’s pace and process. The therapy process generally involves the following steps:

• You can refer via this website, e-mail or phone.
• I will contact you to briefly discuss the needs and how Calmmind can offer the appropriate support. If therapy is advised, an intake is planned with you.
• The intake usually takes 90 minutes; during the intake we get to know each other and we discuss the support needs, the support goals and the following steps in the process.
• I will write a therapy plan including the goals we discussed during the intake, the frequency and amount of sessions and when the evaluation will take place.
• If needed and with your consent, I will contact school and GP if this will benefit the therapeutic process.
• Following the first evaluation moment a decision will be made together whether more support is needed or if the support can be rounded off.
• If more support in needed, we will agree together how many sessions are predicated to be necessary.
• If the support can be rounded off, on request, a short evaluation report can be written. If desired and with your consent, the school and GP will be informed and the file will be closed.

Psychological Assessments:

I aim to make my support easily accessible and transparent. For the psychological assessment I work according to the Needs Based Approach method (Handelingsgerichte Diagnostiek). The psychological assessment process generally involves the following steps:

• You can refer via this website, e-mail or phone.
• I will contact you to briefly discuss the needs and how Calmmind can offer the appropriate support. If a psychological assessment is advised, an intake is planned with you.
• The intake usually takes 90 minutes; during the intake we get to know each other and we discuss the support needs, the support goals and the following steps in the process.
• I will write a psychological assessment plan including the goals we discussed during the intake and the amount assessment sessions.
• If needed and with your consent, I will contact school and GP if this will benefit the psychological assessment process.
• Following the assessment sessions, a psychological assessment report will be written. This report will be discussed with you and any advices regarding further support if this deems to be necessary.
• If further support at Calmmind is desired, then a new therapy plan will be written and the therapy process steps will be followed.
• If the support can be rounded off, if desired and with your consent, the school and GP will be informed and the file will be closed.

Support for schools:

If schools have a support question, then they can contact Calmmind via this website, e-mail or phone to discuss the possibilities. Themes that we have experience with are mental health prevention, psycho-education regarding mental health issues, implementing inclusive education and working according to the Needs Based Approach (Handelingsgericht Werken). The following list shows possible support options for schools:

• Coaching teachers
• Advising management regarding educational innovations
• Workshops for teachers/students
• Implementing prevention programs

In the event that Calmmind is not the right fit for your support needs, we will support you with finding the right practice/organization for your needs. We will discuss what the options are for Calmmind to actively find the appropriate support.
