My name is Cindy Verhoeven, and I am a first-generation EMDR therapist, trained in the Netherlands since 2008. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma, anxiety, and various forms of emotional distress.
I also worked as an addiction counselor for 11 years, treating individuals facing alcohol and drug dependence, as well as binge eating disorders.
In addition to EMDR, I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Inner Child therapy into my practice. This approach allows for a comprehensive therapeutic experience tailored to the unique needs of each client, addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying issues.

EMDR facilitates the formation of new brain patterns
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a structured psychotherapy approach designed to help process memories, emotions, urges, and negative belief systems.
The therapy typically follows an eight-phase approach, which includes preparation, assessment, desensitization, and installation of positive beliefs. Many clients experience significant improvements in their emotional well-being after just a few sessions, making EMDR a powerful tool for enhancing emotional health.
During sessions, clients recall distressing memories, emotions, or urges while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, sounds, or taps.
EMDR facilitates the processing of memories and the formation of new brain patterns, helping to alleviate anxiety, emotional distress, and cravings.

Closure
After losing my father, I was overwhelmed by the emotional weight of his final moments.
Free of Fear
After a car accident, I was terrified to drive again. The fear and anxiety would overwhelm me every time I thought about getting behind the wheel.
and I feel truly empowered.
Quit Alcohol
For years, I drank alcohol daily
in the evenings to destress.
I realized I couldn’t continue like this and that I was ruining my health.
Through EMDR therapy, not only did my cravings significantly decrease, but
I also learned how to better
regulate my emotions.
This has brought me a sense of inner calm and control, and I am now living a healthier, alcohol-free life.
