What our clients are saying

Exposure therapy gives me peace of mind. I find that I am more aware of my life and I listen more to my body and what is going on inside me. I have enjoyed working with Naomi. She is a very sweet and enthusiastic person.

S.B.

Our daughter was having issues at school which led to self harming behavior. Naomi applied Exposure therapy in their sessions and not long after we saw a big change in our daughter. She is now a resilient and well-rounded, independent young adult thanks to Naomi and her Exposure therapy modality.

N.S.

I am proud of myself for being able and daring to expose myself to exposure-based therapy. The Holistic Exposure approach has brought out feelings and given me insights, that endless self-reflections has not come close to. By doing holistic approached exposures, I cleaned up the mess from the past, and with that, the behaviour I was misidentifying myself with disappeared".Looking back on my life later, I am convinced that doing exposures was a great gift to myself. It has developed me as a person and allowed me to know myself inside. I would like to give everyone the opportunity to feel and experience the change it has brought for me.

The exposure sessions I have done with Naomi have helped me a lot. I notice that I am less triggered and better able to deal with situations that I found difficult before. It's special to notice that you can experience a positive development in such a short time. The exposures themselves are relatively short and immediately afterwards you notice the effect in your daily life. Naomi's way of giving exposure therapies is very pleasant. She knows exactly how to get to the core and guides you in a professional and also empathetic way. I would recommend her to anyone.

Working with Naomi was a very meaningful journey for me. I’ve been in therapy before, but somehow it felt like we were always scratching the surface compared to my experience with Naomi. She really managed to dig deeper into experiences that shaped me, my beliefs, and my habits. From the very first session, she created a safe space that allowed me to be comfortable in sharing. What also stood out for me, is the fact that she would text me a few days after our sessions to check up on me. Biggest testament that she viewed me as a person, not just a client.
Big thank you for our journey!

Working with Naomi allowed me to tap back into traumatic experiences I didn't even realize I was holding onto. She helped me neutralize its effect on my nervous system and clear so much unprocessed heaviness. Her ability to use both science based therapy methods as well as intuitive guidance is a breath of fresh air and made her form of therapy a right fit for me.

Our daughter, 23 years old, diagnosed with adoption trauma and autism, is currently still in treatment with Naomi. As a mother, I saw our daughter becoming increasingly more sad, angry, and more depressed despite previous treatments with another psychologist. What our daughter couldn't find with previous psychologists—safety and recognition—she found with Naomi. This enabled our daughter not only to face the difficult exposure treatments but also to endure them.
As parents, we were approached with respect for both our daughter and ourselves. Throughout the entire process, and still to this day, Naomi has been a listening ear. Naomi supports us with all our questions, concerns, and issues we encounter, without violating our daughter's privacy.
We are not there yet, but the steps—better said, leaps—that our daughter is making, partly due to Naomi's sessions, are fantastic. She is smiling again and has increasing confidence in the future.

Hello, my name is Luuke-Cherine Jansen. I am 23 years old. I have adoption trauma that has significantly impacted my life. Additionally, at 18, I experienced trauma from being stalked by my ex-boyfriend, who threatened to kill me, among other things. My entire life, my feelings have been a mix of sadness, anger, rage, depression, and a strong sense of not being allowed to exist. At this moment, I no longer see the future as bleak but as a beautiful palette of colors, where black and gray are present but no longer dominate. I can sincerely say that this is partly thanks to my trauma psychologist, Naomi van Damme. Through the exposure sessions—which were quite heavy—and Naomi's immense competence and involvement, I have been able to work through my traumas. This was not possible with the two previous psychologists because I did not feel safe enough.
