About me

I am Jessica Tjon-Ka-Jie. In 2017, I graduated with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the Leiden University. Since then, I have worked in both smaller and larger organizations within generalist and specialist mental health care. The various experiences I’ve gained—both in providing and receiving therapy—as well as the courses I’ve completed, have led me to the decision to start my own practice.

​

This is my vision on therapy

​I started Mei Psychologie to offer integrative therapy. Integrative therapy allows for the combination of different treatment methods, tailored to the client’s needs and personal situation. I believe that therapy is a process where you continually refine your knowledge and skills to what comes up, until you feel resilient enough. While in traditional mental healthcare there is often limited time and space, with integrative therapy I offer a tailored (client-centered) treatment plan where the duration is aligned with your needs, personal situation, my knowledge and skills and the expected effectiveness of the treatment. In my experience, this leads to more sustainable results.

​

This is my approach

My approach is characterized by equality, patience and (self) compassion. My strength lies in analyzing and making patterns clear that underlie (recurrent) issues. We will together address the core of the problems, work on fostering a healthier mindset and find solutions that work for you.
