Hagar ter Kuile,
PhD, GZ psychologist
Welcome to the website of online psychology practice HtK Therapy. My name is Dr. Hagar ter Kuile, healthcare (GZ) psychologist. I offer short-term treatments for various mental health issues. If you live in the Netherlands the costs are largely covered by basic health insurance. Treatment is possible both face-to-face in Amstelveen and online and is available in both English and Dutch. I have extensive experience in treating issues such as ADHD/ADD, depression, burn-out, anxiety and panic disorders, trauma/PTSD, migration and identity problems, parenting issues, and stress related issues. I use various therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy.
Online therapy
Online treatment is an approachable and effective way to get help. It is proven to be as effective as on-site treatment. It also has many advantages:
Accessibility Therapy can take place whether you are at home, at work or on vacation.
How does it work?
- Initial consult 15 minutes: Free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs.
- Intake A one-hour conversation to get to know you and discuss your help request.
- Session 1, Creating a Treatment Plan.: Customized treatment plan based on your goals.
- Online Sessions: Personalized treatment via secure video calling. Average of 10-15 sessions.
- Evaluation and process: Regular assessments to measure progress.
- Closure: We work toward closure and establish a plan for relapse prevention.
Waiting list and reimbursement
A free introductory meeting can usually take place within two working days. Currently, there is a two-week waiting period for intake and treatment. Treatment is reimbursed through the basic health insurance. The reimbursement depends on your type of policy and health insurance provider and is usually between 65% and 85%. I have a contract with Zilveren Kruis Achmea, which also includes De Friesland, De Christelijke Zorgverzekeraar, Interpolis, and FBTO. If you are insured with one of these providers, the treatment will be fully reimbursed after you have paid your deductible.
Client Experiences
I am forever grateful for the help and guidance that Hagar gave me during my sessions. She didn’t give up on me and kept supporting me. I felt heard and understood. She gave me safe feelings and tools for coping and it gave me strength to face my triggers. Her techniques are amazing, Honestly, my life turned to the better after having sessions with her! Thank you so much!
Hagar is a very pleasant, sincere woman to talk to. She is there for you even when you least expect it. She has helped me enormously to get my life back on track and took the time to help me understand what is going on. If a treatment did not work, she changed to a different one. She really takes the time for you. Thanks in part to her, I see a bright future for me again. If I had to recommend anyone, it would be Hagar!
