Miss Marjolein Smit

Psychologist-Psychotherapist

As an experienced psychotherapist, I offer a warm, enthusiastic, and open-minded approach that creates a safe and welcoming space where all feelings and experiences can be explored without judgment. The aim is to gain clarity and understanding of each client’s unique situation, helping them navigate personal challenges with insight and confidence. Psychological assessments are used not only to clarify underlying patterns but also to illuminate practical, meaningful ways forward.

About Me

I am a Licensed Psychologist and Psychotherapist (BIG‑registered). With over 30 years of experience as a mental health specialist in both the Netherlands and the Caribbean, I provide evidence-based psychotherapy and psychological assessments for adults, children, and adolescents.

Approach

I combine attentive listening with structured assessment to uncover patterns that keep you stuck and priorities that open a way forward. Drawing on ACT-informed practice and focused diagnostic feedback, we test small experiments between sessions and adjust based on what actually helps.
