The new kid on the block in children and teens' mental health.
What is amego?
amego is a certified youth psychology team, registered with the Dutch Youth Healthcare Quality Register (SKJ). Our focus lies on children and teens’ mental wellbeing: Overactive behaviour / Attention problems / Addiction / Negative thoughts / Mood swings / Low self-esteem / Anxiety.
amego’s support is available to English-speaking children and youths up to the age of 21.
For children & adolescents
amego is a mental wellbeing team standing by to have a chat with you about your thoughts and feelings, when things aren’t going the way you’d like.
When you have a bad headache, it’s considered normal to go to the doctor. It’s just as normal, if you often find yourself feeling sad, scared, or angry, to ask for help. Most of the time problems have a knack of solving themselves, maybe with the help of a friend or parent. Sometimes, though, a problem might not go away; things may only seem to get worse. This is where amego can help.
amego provides free-form sessions, where you help us decide how things take shape – playing the drums, painting, table tennis, something seemingly out of the ordinary; you choose and we form the sessions around what your interests. This allows you to express yourself the way you want to, so things become clearer for the both of us.
For parents
amego is standing by to guide you in supporting your child’s mental wellbeing.
Every therapeutic route starts with us getting to know each other. We choose to include the parent(s) as much as we can during the beginning, as their expertise with regards to their child’s development is vital.
Nowadays many mental health professionals stick to one type of therapy. In contrast, amego follows the upcoming principal of ‘tailored care’. This means every therapeutic route is unique and that the sessions can take shape around music, movement or sport, artwork, and so on. We do this so the child can express themselves the way they want to, not the way others want them to. This allows us, as well as themselves, to better understand the issues at hand so we can come up with the best solutions.
