Genuine attention, without long waiting times
Multidisciplinary team
We make sure you receive personal and timely support from a team of experienced practitioners.
In addition to individual treatment, we also offer a range of group therapies.
At CITB, you receive personal and specialised mental health care without long waiting times.
We take the time to understand your story and tailor your treatment to what you need. We understand how difficult it can be to live with complex trauma or other psychological difficulties. That is why we work with a multidisciplinary team of experienced practitioners.
Our focus is on intensive, effective treatment, with personal attention at the heart of our approach. We work carefully and purposefully, using therapeutic methods that are tailored to your situation and needs.
At CITB, we believe that recovery extends beyond the treatment room.
That is why we actively inform patients about the broad recovery network in Amsterdam: from peer support and expertise by experience to listening groups and accessible support in the neighborhood.

How we work
Everyone is different. That is why at CITB we work with an integrative approach — we combine evidence-based treatment methods and tailor them to what you need.
Individual treatment
Several forms of Psychotherapy Focuses on unconscious processes and how they influence behaviour and emotions. Helps to gain insight into patterns from the past and in relationships.
Schema Therapy Focuses on patterns that developed early in life. Helps to recognise and change these patterns for a better quality of life.
EMDR Effective therapy for trauma. Helps to process traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviour. With attention to lifestyle and daily structure.
Systemic Therapy Looks at interactions within a system — such as family or relationships — and how these contribute to difficulties.
Drama Therapy Uses creative techniques to explore and process emotions in a safe environment.
Pharmacotherapy Treatment with medication, often in combination with other therapies.
Group Treatments
Schema Therapy combined with Drama Therapy
In a group setting, participants learn from each other while exploring patterns and behaviour. Available in Dutch and English.
Group Psychotherapy
Together, participants explore feelings, behaviour and recurring patterns. The group offers a safe space for insight and practice in connection with others.
Art Therapy
Through creative methods such as drawing, painting and sculpting, feelings and experiences are explored in a non-verbal way. Art therapy creates space for what is difficult to put into words. Available in English.
Emotion Regulation — Difficult Emotions
A group programme focused on learning to recognise, understand and manage intense emotions. Participants practise practical skills to better cope with difficult feelings in daily life. Available in English.
Shame and Guilt
A group programme for people who struggle with shame, guilt or a persistent sense of not being good enough. In a small group of 3–6 participants, we work over 6 sessions on recognising and breaking through these patterns. Available in Dutch.
Setting Boundaries
For people who find it difficult to say no, take up their own space or protect their limits. In a small group of 3–6 participants, we practise over 6 sessions with recognising and setting boundaries — both physically and psychologically.
Our team
Accessibility
For acute, emergency help outside office hours, you can always contact your local GP out-of-hours clinic. There they can assess whether you should be referred to the 24-hour crisis service of the ggz.
Waiting time
We aim to screen new referrals within 1 working week.
At present, the waiting time for an initial assessment is 1 to 3 weeks. The exact waiting time depends on the nature of your needs, the level of care required and the availability of our practitioners.
At CITB, we do not distinguish between the waiting time for registration and treatment. Treatment starts after the initial assessment process.
