The therapist
My name is Lex van Velzen. I am a licensed post-master marriage and
family therapist and registered as
such with the specialist psychotherapy
association Nederlandse Vereniging voor Relatie- en Gezinstherapie, the
NVRG (Dutch Association for
Marriage and
Family Therapy).
I took my post academic training in accordance with
the demands of the NVRG. Besides theory this training covers several
years of supervision and a learning therapy.
I have over 20-years experience in the ambulant care and the clinical
care in the welfare and mental health
care sector. Beside anxiety disorders and mood disorders, I was mainly
engaged in trauma related problems and autism related problems with
adults in the past few years.
As a therapist I think it
is very important to be able to be close to people and to
follow people’s needs. As a therapist you direct the
conversation, this way you create a clear and safe surroundings for
your clients.
