About me
I'm Mélisa, a psychologist dedicated to helping individuals cultivate curiosity and understanding about themselves and the world around them. With over five years of experience in specialized mental health in Amsterdam, I've developed a passion for creating meaningful connections—both in my professional and personal life—that inspire growth and healing.
Guided by my core values of development, curiosity, and compassion, I strive to provide a supportive and empathetic environment where clients can explore their inner world and unlock their potential. These principles are the foundation of my practice and the lens through which I approach each unique journey.
When I'm not working, I continue to nurture my curiosity in various ways—experimenting in the kitchen, spending quality time with friends and family, and discovering new corners of the city through diverse activities. I look forward to accompanying you on your path to self-discovery and transformation.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
I take a client-centered approach to therapy, guided by the core values of development, curiosity, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe and empathetic space where individuals can explore their feelings, behaviors, and aspirations, fostering greater self-awareness and understanding. I believe that transformation begins with curiosity—curiosity about oneself and the world—and I work with my clients to help them deepen this exploration and unlock their full potential.
In my practice, I draw upon several evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and EMDR. These approaches allow me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, helping them understand and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Whether addressing anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I work collaboratively with my clients to build resilience, gain new perspectives, and foster lasting positive change. By providing compassionate support and practical tools, I aim to empower individuals to lead more fulfilling, balanced lives.
