I am Yasmin, a clinical psychologist. My aim is to support you in making room for yourself in all your different facets – to support you on your way home to yourself as you walk your path in the world.
I grew up in Brazil and, for shorter periods, in Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United States. I was trained and am licensed in both the Netherlands and Belgium. My work in psychiatric hospitals, mental health practices, and in clinical psychology research has brought me into contact with people from many different walks of life and cultures. This has strengthened my utmost respect for the dignity and uniqueness of every person and their experiences.
My approach is strongly rooted in (experiential-existential) client-centered and (Jungian) psychodynamic models. This means that the therapy process aims to facilitate the development of your inner world, beyond reducing symptoms. In sessions, we make space for and explore what may surface, respecting your own pace. Symptoms or difficulties you may experience in your relationships with others or the world are approached as meaningful gateways to deeper insight and transformation. I don't work with ready-made answers. Instead, I work towards supporting your relationship with your inner experiences and your own authentic answers, as part of your process of integration and growth.
Whether or not you are a native or fully confident English, Portuguese, or Dutch speaker, I aim to support you in connecting with, welcoming, and processing your experiences, in whichever words or silence they come. In this process, occasional use of words in other languages is also welcome. You also don't need to have answers or know the way. I meet you where you are.
The reasons for contacting me for therapy can vary: stress, depression, anxiety, overthinking, experiences of loss, loneliness, difficulties in relationships, guilt, shame, lack of self-confidence, themes related to migration and/or intercultural experiences, indecision, a sense of being stuck, lack of energy, lack of belongingness, existential questions.
In our first session(s), we take the time to explore your question and expectations and discover together whether and how therapy with me can be helpful. While sessions usually occur on a weekly basis, we will decide our frequency together.
I offer sessions in English, (Brazilian) Portuguese, and Dutch to young adults and adults, both in-person and online.
Em português:
Meu nome é Yasmin, sou psicóloga clínica. Meu objetivo é ajudá-lo(a) a criar espaço para si mesmo(a) em todas as suas diferentes facetas – acompanhá-lo(a) em seu processo de encontro a si, à medida que você trilha seu caminho no mundo.
Cresci no Brasil e, por períodos mais curtos, no Canadá, na Austrália, na Alemanha, e nos Estados Unidos. Fiz minha formação e sou licenciada tanto na Holanda quanto na Bélgica. Meu trabalho em hospitais psiquiátricos, clínicas de saúde mental e em pesquisa em psicologia clínica, aliado ao meu contato com outras culturas, reforçou meu profundo respeito pela dignidade e singularidade de cada pessoa e suas experiências.
Minha abordagem é fortemente enraizada em concepções fenomenológico-existenciais e psicodinâmicas (junguianas). Isso significa que o processo terapêutico visa facilitar o desenvolvimento do seu mundo interior, para além da redução dos sintomas. Nas sessões, abrimos espaço e exploramos o que possa surgir, respeitando o seu próprio ritmo. Sintomas ou dificuldades que você possa vivenciar em seus relacionamentos com os outros ou com o mundo são abordados como portas significativas para uma compreensão e transformação mais profundas. Não ofereço respostas prontas, mas trabalho com o objetivo de apoiar sua relação com suas experiências internas e as suas próprias respostas autênticas, como parte de seu processo de integração e crescimento.
Não é preciso ser falante nativo ou se sentir totalmente confiante ao falar inglês, português ou holandês – meu objetivo é ajudá-lo(a) a se conectar com suas experiências, acolhê-las e processá-las, sejam elas expressas por meio de palavras ou do silêncio. Nesse processo, o uso ocasional de palavras em outros idiomas também é bem-vindo. Você também não precisa já ter respostas nem saber o caminho a seguir. Eu o(a) encontro onde você está.
Os motivos para me contatar para terapia podem variar: estresse, depressão, ansiedade, pensamentos excessivos (ruminação), experiências de perda, solidão, dificuldades nos relacionamentos, culpa, vergonha, falta de autoconfiança, temas relacionados à migração e/ou experiências interculturais, indecisão, sensação de estar estagnado(a), falta de energia, sensação de não pertencimento, questões existenciais.
Em nossa(s) primeira(s) sessão(ões), dedicamos o tempo para explorar sua dúvida e suas expectativas e descobrir juntos se e como a terapia comigo pode ser útil. Embora as sessões geralmente ocorram semanalmente, decidiremos a frequência juntos.
Ofereço sessões em inglês, português (do Brasil) e holandês para jovens adultos e adultos, tanto presencialmente quanto online.
Sinta-se à vontade para me enviar um e-mail se tiver alguma dúvida.
Onde quer que você esteja neste processo, estou aqui.
In het Nederlands:
Ik ben Yasmin, klinisch psycholoog. Mijn doel is om je te ondersteunen bij het ruimte maken voor jezelf in al je verschillende facetten – om je te begeleiden op je weg thuis naar jezelf, terwijl je je pad in de wereld bewandelt.
Ik ben opgegroeid in Brazilië en, voor kortere periodes, in Canada, Australië, Duitsland en de Verenigde Staten. Ik werd opgeleid en ben erkend zowel in Nederland als in België. Mijn ervaring in psychiatrische ziekenhuizen, groepspraktijken voor geestelijke gezondheidszorg, en in klinisch-psychologisch onderzoek, samen met mijn contact met andere culturen, heeft mijn diep respect voor de waardigheid en de uniciteit van elke mens en diens ervaringen versterkt.
Mijn aanpak is sterk geworteld in (Experiëntieel-Existentiële) cliëntgerichte en (Jungiaanse) psychodynamische opvattingen. Dit betekent dat het therapieproces erop gericht is de ontwikkeling van je innerlijke wereld te bevorderen, en niet enkel op het verminderen van symptomen. Tijdens de sessies maken we ruimte voor en verkennen we wat zich aandient, met respect voor je eigen tempo. Symptomen of moeilijkheden die je mogelijk ervaart in je relaties met anderen of met de wereld, worden benaderd als betekenisvolle toegangspoorten tot dieper inzicht en transformatie. Ik werk niet met kant-en-klare antwoorden, maar streef ernaar je te ondersteunen in je relatie met je innerlijke ervaringen en je eigen authentieke antwoorden, als onderdeel van je proces van integratie en groei.
Of je nu moedertaalspreker bent of je vlot voelt in het Engels, Portugees of Nederlands, of net niet, ik richt me erop je te ondersteunen om contact te maken met je ervaringen, ze te verwelkomen en te verwerken — in welke woorden, of stilte, ze zich ook aandienen. Occasioneel gebruik van woorden in andere talen is in dit proces ook welkom. Je hoeft ook geen antwoorden te hebben of de weg te kennen. Ik ontmoet je waar je nu bent.
De redenen om contact met mij op te nemen voor therapie kunnen uiteenlopen: stress, depressie, angst, piekeren, verlieservaringen, eenzaamheid, relatieproblemen, schuldgevoelens, schaamte, gebrek aan zelfvertrouwen, thema’s rond migratie en/of interculturele ervaringen, besluiteloosheid, het gevoel vast te zitten, gebrek aan energie, gebrek aan verbondenheid, het gevoel nergens bij te horen, existentiële vragen.
Tijdens onze eerste sessie(s) nemen we de tijd om je vraag en verwachtingen te verkennen en samen te ontdekken of en hoe therapie bij mij je kan helpen. Hoewel sessies meestal wekelijks plaatsvinden, wordt dit in overleg met jou afgestemd.
Ik bied sessies aan in het Engels, Portugees en Nederlands, voor jongvolwassenen en volwassenen, zowel in persoon als online.
Je mag me gerust een mailtje sturen als je vragen hebt.
Waar je ook staat in jouw proces, ik ben er voor je.
