Who we are

Introduce

Ingrid van Tricht and André Blankestijn live and work from their home town of Enkhuizen. Every day they work with clients in their own practice and within GGZ Noord Holland. What they do is characterized by enthusiasm and drive. But above all by their love for the profession and the people they work with.

Ingrid van Tricht

Ingrid van Tricht is working as a system therapist and MGZ-GGZ nurse VO in her own practice and within GGZ Noord Holland Noord. She has been working in the GGZ for 25 years, of which the last 12 years within specialist centers for personality disorders and psychotrauma, among others within the Sinai Center in Amsterdam and GGZ Noord-Holland Noord. Ingrid works with both adults and young adults. She previously worked as a manager of healthcare. She has also been working as a self-employed person at Psygro since 2010. Ingrid is skilled in solution focused therapy (SFT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DGT), trauma-focused treatments such as EMDR and NET and as EFT therapist for partner-relationship problems.

Work together

Together they know how to bundle expertise and complement each other with competencies, character and personality. Working together keeps them both sharp and always provides new motivation. Both have been working in the profession for 25 years and that creates peace and confidence with themselves and clients. In case of a suspicion of more complex psychiatric problems such as anxiety and psychotrauma, reference can be made to practices in the region such as ABATE. In addition to assistance, sailing is an important passion. From 2007 to 2015 they have given place to dozens of charter guests on board their sailing yacht De Noorderkroon with which they made trips to Norway, Orkney's, Shetland's, Bear Island and Spitsbergen.

Our goal

We find that solutions to problems are often already present in the family or in the relationship. Our focus is on recognizing that force and mobilizing it again. The treatment is always a way to make contact with that 'strength' again and to find a place in the here and now.

Children are involved because they are often an access door to 'the family'. Precisely because they know a lot about the family. Of course in their own way and with their own ways of coming into contact with them. For parents it is often a huge opportunity to discover by the children what is not said so quickly.

We would like to create movement again where speech and movement has stopped. To be able to listen carefully, we carefully listen to the verbal and the non-verbal.

Our experience is that parents want their children to be happy and that children want their parents to be happy. The same also applies to partners. With that intention there is perspective in the room where we would like to go with you.
