About Kindt Clinics
Founder Merel Kindt has been researching anxiety throughout her career. She is convinced that it is possible: no more unnecessary fears. It is something we would like everyone to experience.
Our goal
The Kindt Clinics team specializes in fear. Our treatment is short and effective.
Currently, cognitive behavioral therapy and / or EMDR are often recommended to people who suffer from fear. Although both therapies can be effective, we choose to only offer the Memrec method.
One reason is that we want to make it as easy as possible to start a treatment. In addition to the short duration, we therefore ensure a pleasant atmosphere in our clinic.
