Praktijk voor Psychotherapie Amsterdam

What Praktijk voor Psychotherapie Amsterdam does

Praktijk voor Psychotherapie Amsterdam e.o. is a private independent Dutch mental health practice serving adults in Amsterdam and nearby Badhoevedorp. It provides general basic mental healthcare (gb-GGz) for mild to moderate psychological complaints and specialized mental healthcare (g-GGz) for longer-standing, pattern-driven problems, with reimbursed care generally requiring referral from a GP or medical specialist. The practice treats a broad set of adult mental health needs, including mood, anxiety, trauma, eating, personality, relationship, work or study, identity, and psychosomatic complaints.

The company is a clinician-delivered healthcare provider rather than a software platform. Its services include psychoanalytic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, emotionally focused therapy, partner therapy, insight-oriented group therapy, psychoanalysis, client-oriented psychotherapy, and psychodiagnostic testing. Its testing and care infrastructure includes MMPI-2, SCID-5-PD, neuropsychological tests, intelligence/autism/AD(H)D examinations, ISO27001/NEN 7510-secured video consultations through FaceTalk, electronic health records and time tracking, Embloom for client satisfaction measurement, and Infomedics for billing.

Revenue is generated through consultation-based Dutch mental healthcare billing under the Zorgprestatiemodel. The practice operates contract-free with health insurers, uses its own rates stated to be below 2026 NZa rates, invoices clients directly, and patients seek reimbursement depending on referral status and insurance policy terms. Go-to-market is primarily referral-led through GPs, specialists, and ZorgDomein, supplemented by direct telephone intake and a secure online application form.

Revenue model

1. Mental Health Care Treatment (GGZ) Consultations: Revenue generated through consultation-based billing under the Dutch Healthcare Performance Model (Zorgprestatiemodel). Invoices are issued periodically during treatment based on consultations (intake interviews, therapy sessions, evaluation meetings). Healthcare providers work contract-free with health insurers, meaning clients pay and seek reimbursement themselves.
2. Out-of-Pocket Client Payments: Since healthcare providers are non-contracted, clients pay directly and are personally responsible for financing treatment including intake, test, and management consultations. Some insurers may require prior authorisation. In 2026 no restitution policies for GGZ care exist.
3. Diagnostic Consultations and No-Show Fees: No-show fees of €140 (if within 4 weeks) or €220 for diagnostic consultations; €110 for treatment sessions. Costs not reimbursed by health insurer.

• Specialized Mental Healthcare (g-GGz) Mental healthcare for adults with long-standing, complex problems driven by repetitive patterns. Aims to bring about structural personality change without loss of identity to reduce relapse.
• Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy A form of psychotherapy that helps patients become aware of hidden thoughts and feelings to better understand and process psychological issues, addressing how early childhood experiences shape current behaviour and self-image.
• Supporting Structuring Psychotherapy on an Analytical Basis A therapy that first provides structure to strengthen the personal/emotional base, then proceeds to the processing of feelings.
• Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) A short-term, focused, supportive conversational therapy included in treatment guidelines for depression and eating disorders, based on how changes in relationships can elicit depression.
• Client-oriented Psychotherapy A therapy that stimulates self-discovery through reflection on feelings and behaviour, with the goal of clarifying who patients are, what they want, and what hinders them.
• Psychoanalysis An intensive, long-form treatment of 3–5 sessions per week with the option of couch analysis, using free association and frequent contact with the psychoanalyst; currently not covered by health insurance.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Mindler: Swedish-Dutch digital mental health platform offering online psychological treatment via app-based video sessions. Competes for the basic GGZ segment with lower price points and zero waiting times, threatening the practice's mild-to-moderate case volume.
• iPractice: Dutch online psychology practice offering therapy sessions via video. Direct overlap on basic mental health treatment modality (talk therapy) with lower-friction access, particularly competitive for clients deterred by the practice's waiting times.
• OpenUp: Dutch online mental health platform providing video-based therapy and EAP services to individuals and employers. Overlaps with the practice's basic GGZ offering through digital delivery and employer-sponsored channels.

Direct peers

• Nederlands Psychoanalytisch Instituut (NPI): Dutch institute for psychoanalytic psychotherapy training and treatment. Highly comparable in clinical orientation (psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy) and adult outpatient mental health focus, though positioned more as a training institute.
• De Viersprong: Dutch specialized GGZ institution focused on personality disorders and complex mental health problems. Directly comparable outpatient psychotherapy model with multiple locations in the Netherlands, serving similar adult populations with long-standing, complex complaints.
• Solidair GGZ: Dutch independent GGZ practice operating on a similar non-contracted model, providing psychotherapy without health insurer contracts. Closely comparable business model and target market of adult clients seeking unrestricted mental health care.

Broad incumbents

• Indigo (Parnassia Groep): Major Dutch GGZ institution under Parnassia Groep providing basic and specialized mental health care across the Netherlands. Serves overlapping patient populations but at significantly larger scale with insurer contracts.
• U-center: Dutch mental health provider offering both outpatient and residential treatment for personality disorders, addiction, and trauma. Overlapping specialization in complex cases but with broader service scope including residential care.
• PsyQ: Large Dutch mental healthcare provider (part of Parnassia Group) offering outpatient psychotherapy across multiple specialties and locations. Competes for similar patient segments but as a much larger, contracted institutional provider with broader service portfolio.

Regional players

• Centrum '45: Dutch specialized center for psychological trauma treatment (including EMDR). Partial overlap with the practice's EMDR and trauma offerings, though Centrum '45 is positioned as a national referral center for complex PTSD rather than a general psychotherapy practice.
