Viviq

What Viviq does

VIVIQ GGZ is a Netherlands-based, private outpatient mental health care provider operating 14 physical clinic locations across the country plus a fully online treatment team. Founded in 2021 through the rebranding of Stichting GGZ Groep under the leadership of Inge Poels and (then-)board member Paul Geraeds, VIVIQ employs nearly 100 treatment professionals — including psychologists, GZ-psychologists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, occupational therapists, GGZ/psychiatric nurses, nurse specialists, and psychiatrists — delivering care at both the Basis GGZ (generalist basic) and Specialistische GGZ (specialist) levels. Clinical services cover trauma/PTSD, personality disorders, depression, anxiety and panic, ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral problems, medically unexplained physical symptoms, and addiction (behavioral and substance), delivered through modalities including CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, ACT, MBT, Imaginaire Exposure (with Virtual Reality support), and psychodiagnostics. A dedicated Kind & Jeugd GGZ unit serves children and adolescents (0–18) in the Wageningen region.

The company's technology stack centers on a 'digital first' E-Health platform that hosts therapeutic modules (self-image, schema therapy, CBT content, mindfulness, sleep training, emotion regulation), supplemented by video consultations, an electronic client dossier (ECD) accessed via a secure client portal, and Virtual Reality–based exposure therapy for trauma and anxiety. Referral intake is managed through the ZorgDomein platform and written GP referral letters, making healthcare-provider relationships the primary go-to-market channel.

VIVIQ's revenue model is reimbursement-driven rather than consumer-paid: adult treatments are covered by contracts with all Dutch health insurers under the statutory Basis GGZ and Specialistische GGZ frameworks, with clients paying only the €385 (2026) mandatory deductible; youth care is funded through municipal contracts under the Jeugdwet with no co-payment. Supplementary revenue comes from administrative no-show fees. Distribution is anchored by 14 physical locations plus a digital channel, the GZ-Punt ecosystem membership for content and preventive care, and partnerships with municipalities and referrers. The company holds HKZ certification and the KiBG Keurmerk, and reports consistently high client satisfaction (CQI 8.71 in 2025). No external investors, PE ownership, or public listing are disclosed.
