Valeria Verhaar Flores, MSc

Founder of VF-Psychology

I am a clinical psychologist with a Master of Science specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychology, awarded Cum Laude from Leiden University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, earned Cum Laude from the Universidad Autónoma de Chile. Originally from Chile, I have been living in the Netherlands for the past six years, working with a diverse international community..

 My credentials

I am a registered member of the Dutch Association of Psychologists (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen – SPS-NIP, Member No. 245010) and hold an SKJ registration as a Master Psychologist in the Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd (Registration No. 160029073).

I founded VF-Psychology in February 2020 to offer specialized psychological support tailored to the unique challenges faced by expats in the Netherlands. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—helping them manage life transitions and mental health concerns effectively.

In addition to my private practice, VF-Psychology collaborates with an Autism Center, providing behavioral therapy for children with autism. This approach integrates biological, psychological, and social aspects to foster holistic development and emotional well-being.

My Experience

I have extensive experience in psychological diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation at both the individual and group levels. My work includes:

✔ Psychological assessments, clinical case reviews, and therapy planning
✔ Developing and leading mental health workshops and self-care programs
✔ Providing therapy for expats and international clients in Spanish and English
✔ Specialized behavioral therapy for children with autism

I specialize in working with expats, supporting individuals facing cultural adjustment, identity struggles, stress, and emotional challenges related to relocating to a new country. Understanding these transitions first-hand, I am committed to helping others find balance, resilience, and emotional well-being in their new environment.
