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.
I speak:
English
Location:
Hilversum, Netherlands
