The Fear Clinic:
Face your phobia
Welcome to Kindt Clinics
Kindt Clinics was founded by Merel Kindt, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Amsterdam.
Based on the latest insights into neuroscience, she developed the Memrec method, a short and focused treatment for phobias.
Today, this method is used at Kindt Clinics to help people overcome their fear.
Specialized

Unique Method
Developed at the University of Amsterdam, the Memrec method treats phobias within a short, two-session treatment.
Three appointments
After the online intake, you will visit the clinic on two consecutive days: the first for the treatment, and the second to experience the effect.
Tailored to You
Each phobia is different. You decide what’s doable and nothing happens without your say.

Roel came to Kindt Clinics for his dog phobia
Before the treatment
“After 48 years of fear of dogs, enough was enough. It ruled my life. I could no longer walk in nature, visit friends with a dog, or avoid places where many dogs go.”
After the treatment
“The next day, I returned for the test. I arrived too early in Amsterdam and walked around the neighborhood, noticing a difference right away. I no longer walked in big arcs around dogs. During the test, all my fear vanished. It was an incredibly special experience to go through.
Family and friends were also astonished after I sent them the photos and videos taken of me playing with a dog.
Now, several months later, I am very happy with the results. I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest dog lover now, but the fear and real panic are gone. I can go anywhere again. It’s quite an adjustment after 48 years of having learned a certain behavior.”
