I am here to listen to your story, support you
and
remind you about the sense of
agency you have in your life
Liza Vaino
MSc Psychologist, Gestalt Therapist in Training
For as long as I can remember myself I had genuine interest in people and desire to help them. I am fascinated by the complexity, uniqueness, and emotional depth of humans and am determined to tailor my approach to help you blossom in your own way.
My role as a psychologist is to support and accompany you on a journey of self-discovery. I believe that you are capable of a positive change, and I am here to remind you of that.
Besides being a psychologist I am an expat of Russian-Estonian origin who has been living in the Netherlands for the last 6 years. Reading, nature, activism, music, animals, sports, cooking, friends, and volunteering are the things that fill up my heart with joy.
I look forward to meeting you!
I believe that you are the expert on your experience and only you know what is best for you. I am here to focus on your needs and remind you that you are in charge of your life.
The way we experience this world is defined by our race, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, and socio-economic background. I recognize this injustice and strive to create a safe space where all parts of your identity are seen and celebrated.
You are a unique individual with your own way of approaching life. This is why we co-create our treatment plan to discover what will be useful for you. I combine gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, art-therapy, and existential modalities to tailor my approach to your needs.
Undergoing a traumatic event shatters the feeling of safety and alters brain chemistry. We will take as much time as you need to establish safety. Then we will move at a pace that will feel right for you towards healing and empowerment.

I believe that mental health support should be accessible to everyone, and therefore I offer reduced rates for students, unemployed, and people with low income. You can reach out to discuss the rate that will be available to you.
