FAQ
Many people have the same questions about therapy. Will therapy work for me? Is therapy covered by my health insurance? Have a look at the most frequently asked questions below, and submit your own if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
To schedule an appointment, click on the Book Online tab above. From there, you can select the service you are interested in, and be taken right to a calendar of available time slots.
I CAN'T MAKE MY APPOINTMENT- WHAT DO I DO?
Life happens! Please email or call immediately to cancel your appointment. Appointments canceled within less than 24-hours may incur a €30 late cancellation fee.
WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER THERAPY?
Aiden is not a BIG registered counselor, so counseling services through Nine Lives Counseling Service may not be covered by insurance. You should reach out to your plan provider and inquire about reimbursements for counseling services.
HOW DO I BECOME A CLIENT?
By booking your first appointment! During our first session we will discuss what problems you are looking to address, your goals for counseling, and what counseling strategies and techniques might work best for you.

Be sure to download and fill out the new client documents before your first appointment. You can email any questions to ninelivescounseling@gmail.com .
I LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE NETHERLANDS- CAN I STILL SEE YOU?
Unfortunately, no. Nine Lives Counseling Service is only able to see clients currently living within the Netherlands.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I TELL YOU I AM THINKING OF SUICIDE?
Firstly, you will be treated with respect. Thoughts of suicide are very common, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I will work with you to determine the severity of your thoughts, and develop an appropriate safety plan or connect you with higher levels of care if needed.
Even if you do need to seek a higher level of care, you are welcome and encouraged to come back for counseling when you are ready.
