About us
What we do
At Metapsych we treat young people up to 18 years old and adults from various cultural backgrounds who struggle with mild to moderate mental disorders. As such, we focus solely on short-term generalist basic mental health care. We consciously choose to remain small-scale and personal in order to give shape to our dedication. With spiritual care as an additional offering, we aim to do full justice to our mission and name.
At Metapsych we offer treatments in Dutch, English, Farsi, Dari, Turkish and, as of January 2025, Arabic.
Meet team Metapsych

Psychologist
Atieh Vlijmincx-Ariannejad
From my position as co-owner and psychologist in Adult Mental Health Care, I work solution-oriented and am known for my helpfulness. My approach combines professionalism with a personal touch, which is refreshing. You are always welcome.

Child psychologist
Golnaz Aryan Nejad
As co-owner and SKJ Child & Youth psychologist, I have a passion for challenge and approach life positively. We all grow up through play. I consider the developments in the social environment as equally important as the development of the child. My attitude is open and approachable, always ready for support.

Manager & Spiritual Caregiver
Axel Vlijmincx-Ariannejad
Metapsych has multiculturalism high on its banner and has asked me to integrate an intercultural approach in management and psychological care. I do this from a policy and operational management perspective and from my 'interfaith' background as a spiritual caregiver.

Clinical Psychologist
Souhailla Oulad Sedik
Mijn passie voor het menselijk brein begon al in mijn adolescentie, en ik werk met toewijding in de GGZ. Ik heb ervaring in zowel de specialistische (SGGZ) als de generalistische GGZ (BGGZ). In behandelingen staan empathie, menselijkheid en shared decision-making centraal. De cliënt behoudt autonomie, terwijl ik als GZ-psycholoog evidence-based therapieën toepas, zoals CGT, EMDR, NET en ACT. Ik behandel angst-, trauma- en stemmingsstoornissen, zelfbeeld- en lichte persoonlijkheidsproblematiek en bied ADHD/autisme-coaching. Daarnaast voer ik psychodiagnostiek uit voor ADHD, autisme, persoonlijkheid en intelligentie. Veiligheid en respect zijn in mijn behandelkamer essentieel.

Secretaresse & Planner
Belinda Blom
Van jongs af aan wist ik dat ik verpleegkundige wilde worden. Jarenlang heb ik met passie gewerkt als gespecialiseerd verpleegkundige in het Amsterdam UMC. Door gezondheidsredenen heb ik gekozen om een nieuwe weg in te slaan en werk ik nu met veel plezier als secretaresse/planner bij Metapsych. In mijn rol zorg ik ervoor dat alles soepel verloopt, zodat cliënten en behandelaars zich op de zorg kunnen richten.

Clinical Psychologist
Hasib Shafaq
I have been active as a GZ psychologist and treatment coordinator for over three years. I offer therapies in Dutch, English, Dari and Farsi, with a strong focus on culturally sensitive work. Experience in various treatment methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, ACT, schema therapy, insightful conversations, narrative exposure therapy (NET) and system conversations, is an important part of my work. In addition, my expertise also focuses on psychodiagnostics, with special attention to personality disorders, autism and ADHD.
