My name is Marieke van de Geer. I work as a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Verpleegkundig Specialist GGZ) and support people who long for movement, depth, and healing. My style is personal, gentle, and clear. In my work, I combine professional knowledge with life experience, intuition, and a deep trust in the self-healing capacity of each person.<\/p>

My path in mental health care began as a nurse. During those years, I learned to truly stand beside people \u2013 both literally and figuratively \u2013 especially in times of crisis, whether physical or emotional. I learned to stay present with my calm Self: with clarity, stillness, and compassion, even when the other was overwhelmed. Those intense years gave me a clear way of communicating and a deep sensitivity to what people need \u2013 beyond words.<\/p>

Over time, I continued my development through various trainings, including becoming a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, EMDR therapist, and ACT practitioner. In my personal life, I encountered mindfulness and yoga, which helped me stay present with more softness \u2013 with whatever arose within me: thoughts, emotions, sensations \u2013 even the uncomfortable. These experiences gave me space for my own healing and still serve as an important source in my work.<\/p>

I have completed training as a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI) and the Experiential Training Institute (ETI). These programs deeply enriched my understanding that multiple states of consciousness exist\u2014and that every person carries an inner capacity for healing. In addition, I have completed the IFS Level 1 training and further specialized in body-oriented and experiential approaches.<\/p>

What clients often appreciate is the space that\u2019s allowed for everything that arises: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, silences, patterns, and desires. There is no need to force anything \u2013 we move with what unfolds. This takes courage, and at the same time, it often opens the very path toward change and healing.<\/p>

I work with people who are looking for something beyond a standard approach \u2013 those who want to feel, explore, experience, and learn to trust what has always been within. I also support people who feel stuck in work or life and are searching for renewed meaning and direction.<\/p>

In addition to my work in regular mental health care, I offer coaching, couples therapy, and retreats. You can read more about my work with psychedelic processes and integration at www.roothwize.nl.<\/p>
