ADHD Psychologists in Amsterdam

ADHD affects attention, activity and impulse control. It continues into adulthood for many people. A diagnosis comes from a specialist assessment, not from a first therapy session.

Treatments that work for ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions include psychosocial and behavioural interventions ¹. For some diagnoses and ages, a doctor may also consider medicine.

Ask a practitioner whether they assess, treat, or both.

Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.

Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.

Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.

The title you will see is Klinisch psycholoog (BIG-geregistreerd). Search the register by name at BIG-register (CIBG). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.

In the Netherlands the protected titles include gezondheidszorgpsycholoog, klinisch psycholoog and psychotherapeut, and each of them requires entry on the statutory healthcare register.
