About me

Hello, I’m Clarissa Wood, an American expat psychologist residing in the vibrant and multicultural Netherlands. With a rich background in young adult mental health, including my role as an assistant director at a university counseling and psychological services center, I have honed a deep understanding of the unique challenges of this phase of life. My career has been dedicated to supporting students through academic pressures and personal development, working closely with diverse populations to effectively address their mental health needs. My journey as an expat has further enriched my perspective, as I have encountered my own cultural adjustments and life transitions, inspiring me to specialize in supporting international students and young adults with both expertise and empathy.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
My approach combines evidence-based methods with a warm, supportive atmosphere, helping you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life. Together, we’ll work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. ** Collaborative** I see therapy as a partnership and value your expertise in your own life. Through open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making, we will work together to understand your experiences and find the best path forward. ** Evidence-Based** I utilise evidence-based practices—therapies grounded in the latest research and proven to be effective. This means you can trust that your care is guided by methods that are both safe and backed by science, customised to your individual needs. ** Strengths-Focused ** My approach emphasises your unique strengths and resources, helping you build confidence and resilience. Together, we’ll identify and strengthen what’s already working well in your life, using your abilities as a foundation for positive change and growth.
