Meet the psychologists
Liliane Thoelen MSc.
Originally from France and Belgium, I have lived the majority of my life in the United States and South Korea. I moved to The Netherlands for my studies, where I’ve completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and a master’s degree in clinical psychology along with a second specialization in legal and forensic psychology. During this time, I was also able to carry out research on how people suffering from depression respond to feedback learning, which allowed me to adjust and find different ways of working and helping clients with certain disorders.
In the past, I have worked as a psychologist at a psychiatric crisis center. In addition to Free Mind, I am currently working at a specialized treatment center. These past and current experiences have given me the opportunity to continuously develop and expand my therapeutic skills across various types of psychotherapy.
As a psychologist, my therapeutic alliance with my clients is of top priority. To ensure a healthy therapeutic relationship, I put great emphasis on honest and open communication with my clients. That way, I am able to adapt and accommodate my treatment style to your individual needs and cultural background. I provide sessions with the use of various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCT), schema therapy (ST), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), etc. I am based in Rotterdam and provide therapy in French and English.
