What PsyMens does
PsyMens is a Dutch mental healthcare institution (GGZ instelling) founded in 2008 by Gieta van der Pompe and her partner, headquartered in Woerden with operations across 16 office locations in 10 cities (Almere, Amersfoort, Bilthoven, Harderwijk, Hilversum, Linschoten, Nieuwegein, Nijkerk, Utrecht, and Woerden). The organization delivers ambulatory outpatient psychiatric and psychological care for adults (18+), children and youth (0-18), and gender-diverse individuals through three service divisions — Volwassenen, Kind & Jeugd, and Genderpoli — operating across both Generalistische Basis GGZ (GBGGZ) and Specialistische GGZ (SGGZ) regulatory tiers. Treatment modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CGT), EMDR, schema therapy, ACT, and e-health modules; the Genderpoli (launched 2023) provides specialized gender-affirming mental healthcare with referral coordination to the Gender Clinic connected to Amsterdam UMC.
The underlying technology consists of a proprietary secure web environment enabling e-health treatment delivery, homework assignments, and patient-therapist communication, supplemented by Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) — a standardized questionnaire-based measurement system administered at the start, middle, and end of treatment to monitor progress and inform adjustments. Client satisfaction has trended upward, reaching 8.54 out of 10 in 2025 versus 8.48 in 2024, and PsyMens holds consecutive quality certifications including HKZ (2024-2027), KiBG Keurmerk (2023-2026), KeurmerkPlus (2025 and 2026), and the 2023 Gouden Randje distinction.
The business model is reimbursement-driven through Dutch public healthcare frameworks. Adult care is billed under the Zorgverzekeringswet (Dutch Health Insurance Act) via health insurers subject to the policyholder's deductible (eigen risico); youth care is funded by municipalities under the Jeugdwet with no deductible. A small ancillary non-insured stream — relationship and family therapy — is priced at €138 per 60-minute session, with no-show fees of €80 (individual) and €40 (group). Go-to-market is sales-led via the ZorgDomein electronic referral system, with general practitioners (huisartsen), POH-GGZ practice support staff, and buurtteams (community teams) as the primary referral channels, supplemented by direct self-referral through the website and telephone intake. PsyMens operates as part of the PsyMens ZorgGroep alongside sister organization ComeniusGGZ.

Direct peers
