Praktijk Vergne

What Praktijk Vergne does

Praktijk Vergne is a privately held Dutch psychological healthcare practice (founded 2012, owned by Emilie Vergne, based in Den Haag) that delivers specialist mental health care, diagnostics, treatment, and dyslexia care for children and adolescents aged 0-18 across the South Holland and Haarlemmermeer regions of the Netherlands. Its clinical portfolio is organized around four service pillars — psychological care, diagnostics, treatment (using evidence-based methods including EMDR, CBT, and writing therapy), and dyslexia care — supplemented by remedial teaching and a structured education-support line for primary and secondary schools. The practice operates through six physical locations (Den Haag, Wassenaar, Nootdorp, Barendrecht, Nieuw-Vennep, and Hoofddorp opening November 2026), staffed by a multidisciplinary team of child/youth psychologists and orthopedagogues, all holding SKJ and/or BIG registrations.

The business model blends reimbursed care (via municipal contracts with Haaglanden, Holland-Rijnland, Barendrecht, and Haarlemmermeer), private-pay engagements (€120/hour for psychological care), PGB-funded access, and unit-priced remedial teaching (€57.50 per 45-minute lesson), with school-based services delivered as a partner-like channel. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer access (website, phone, secure Zorgmail) with institutional referrals from GPs, schools, and municipalities. Technology is limited to the Skribbel interactive online dyslexia platform, the HOMi homework tracking system, and Zorgmail secure email — these are proprietary service-enablement tools rather than a technology platform business.

Quality is anchored by HKZ certification, NKD affiliation for dyslexia care, and SKJ/BIG practitioner registrations, with the founder-practitioner model (Emilie Vergne) and a recently appointed general director (Michiel Schiffers) separating clinical and operational leadership. A wholly-owned subsidiary, BijDeHand Begeleiding, extends the practice into homework and learning support in schools. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; municipal budget pressure is already visible (Holland Rijnland stopped new intakes in 2026), making regional public-sector concentration the principal structural risk to scale.

Revenue model

1. Municipal/Government Contracted Care: Praktijk Vergne holds contracts with municipalities (gemeenten) across Regio Haaglanden, Regio Holland-Rijnland, Regio Barendrecht, and Gemeente Haarlemmermeer. Children and youth with a referral letter from a GP, healthcare provider, or municipality receive reimbursed care.
2. Private Pay / Non-Reimbursed Care: Services provided to clients who do not meet municipal reimbursement criteria or who do not have a referral. An hourly rate of €120 applies for psychological care, with custom quotes issued for other services.
3. PGB (Personal Budget): Clients with a personal budget (persoonsgebonden budget) can access care regardless of municipal intake restrictions, particularly relevant for Den Haag residents and Holland Rijnland clients who are otherwise not accepted.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Therapieland: Dutch online self-help and guided therapy platform, already listed as a partner integration on Praktijk Vergne's site. Comparable as an enabling ecosystem participant in Dutch youth/mental health, providing digital modules that complement in-person psychology treatment.

Broad incumbents

• Youz (Parnassia Groep): Specialized youth mental health division of the Parnassia Groep, one of the largest Dutch GGZ providers. Comparable as a Dutch child/youth mental health specialist competing for the same municipal contracts, but operating as part of a much larger institutional provider with broader service lines.
• Indigo (Antes/GGZ Rivierduinen): Dutch youth and family support provider offering prevention, advice, and treatment across multiple regions. Comparable as a municipal-contracted Dutch youth mental health provider, but operating at broader scale as part of a larger GGZ group.
• PsyQ: Dutch mental health treatment brand of Lentis/GGZ Friesland offering GGZ care across multiple specializations including youth. Comparable as a Dutch GGZ provider targeting similar presentations, but operating at national scale within an institutional group.

Emerging players

• Mindler: Nordic-headquartered digital mental health platform expanding across Europe, including ADHD treatment pathways for children and adults. Comparable as a behavioral/mental health provider targeting ADHD and youth populations, but operating at much larger scale via telehealth rather than physical clinics.
• OpenUp: European mental health platform providing online therapy and coaching for individuals and families. Comparable as a mental health service competing for the same family/youth demographic, though OpenUp's strength is employer-channel B2B rather than municipal contracts.
• iPractice: Dutch online psychology practice offering short-wait, digital-first mental health care including youth/GGZ services. Comparable as a Dutch child/adolescent mental health provider competing for the same families, but with a digital-native delivery model that pressures Praktijk Vergne's in-person wait times.

Direct peers

• Mentaal Beter: National Dutch mental health practice group offering GGZ care including youth/adolescent services via physical locations and online channels. Comparable as a multi-site Dutch mental health practice competing for the same referrals and municipal contracts, with a more national footprint.
• De Opvoedpraktijk: Dutch practice specializing in parenting support and child/youth psychology, including school-based services. Comparable as a child/youth psychology practice with parent coaching and educational channel - similar model and target demographic to Praktijk Vergne.
• Cogis: Dutch clinical educational support organization providing diagnostics, advice, and training to schools on learning and behavioral challenges. Comparable as a Dutch provider of school-linked youth support services, overlapping with Praktijk Vergne's primary/secondary education offerings.
