Chinski

What Chinski does

Chinski BV is a Dutch private healthcare practice (founded 2008) specializing in child psychology, pedagogy, and remedial teaching. Operating from its Bussum headquarters with 25+ practice locations across the Netherlands, it serves children and youth aged 4-25 and their families through three core service lines: Schools & Passend Onderwijs (school-based remedial teaching and teacher coaching under the inclusive education framework), Jeugdwet & GGZ (subsidized youth care and adult mental healthcare covering CBT, EMDR, play therapy, and system therapy), and Dyslexie & Dyscalculie (specialized learning disability treatment including proprietary Toms Wereld programs). The organization also runs a separate adults-focused sub-brand (chinskivolwassenen.nl) for 18+ GGZ care. Service delivery is hybrid: in-practice sessions, school-based support, home visits, and fully online treatment via the Therapieland platform.

Technology is built around third-party clinical SaaS rather than proprietary platforms: Therapieland powers blended and fully online treatment sessions with short or zero waiting lists, BergOp handles digital Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) questionnaires during intake and treatment, and Zorgdomein enables digital referrals from GPs and medical specialists. A multidisciplinary clinical team of orthopedagogues, psychologists, pedagogues, system therapists, and art therapists (vaktherapeuten) delivers the services, with Chinski functioning as a recognized training institution for MBO, HBO, University, and WO+ programs.

Revenue is generated through five streams: multi-year municipal contracts for subsidized youth care under the Jeugdwet framework across 15+ Dutch regions; health insurance reimbursement for adult (18+) GGZ care via restitution policy; inclusive education funding for school-based services through Passend Onderwijs arrangements; private-pay options for non-covered services; and personal budget (PGB) and learner-bound funding (LGF). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001 certification (Kiwa), is registered with NKD and BVKZ, operates a client council and works council, and is GDPR-compliant under the AVG. No parent company, PE sponsor, or institutional investor ownership has been disclosed.

3. Education-Related Services (Passend Onderwijs): School-related support and remedial teaching services funded through the inclusive education system (passend onderwijs) arrangements with educational consortia.
4. Private Pay Services: Clients can pay privately for services not covered by municipality contracts or health insurance. Pricing is provided via custom quotes upon request.
