Treatment at iPractice
You experience psychological symptoms that increasingly affect your daily functioning. You are no longer coping on your own and you want help from a psychologist. Signing up with iPractice, this is what you can expect afterwards.
First contact
There are different ways of application at iPractice. You can fill out the registration form, or you can ask your general practitioner to send a referral to iPractice. When referred to by another medical doctor, e.g. company doctor, a secured email from your referrer to team@ipractice.nl will also work.
In any case, we will contact you within a couple of days.
The first touch point is with one or our colleagues in our ‘matching team’. These colleagues are trained in psychology and assess the fit between your symptoms and our expertise. When concluded that we can help you, you start your intake phase.
You do need a referral letter to get treatment reimbursed from you insurer. When you opt for self-payment, no referral letter is needed.
➥ I have a referral letter:
A pre-intake interview will be scheduled with your online psychologist and an intake interview is scheduled with your consultation room psychologist.
➥ I don’t have a referral letter:
See your family doctor first and explain your symptoms. If psychological help is needed, the GP will send a digital referral to iPractice. Intake sessions are not scheduled until you have a referral letter.
Intake
The intake phase consists of three steps: an online questionnaire, a pre-intake interview and an intake interview.
In the first step you are asked to fill out an online questionnaire. Results help your psychologist to prepare properly before your intake interviews. Please note that filling out the questionnaire is mandatory. When not completed, your intake interviews will be canceled.
The second step consists of a pre-intake interview. This is a short interview that builds on the answers in your questionnaire and helps you understand the way of working at iPractice.
Following you pre-intake interview is your in-depth conversation with you consultation room psychologist. This interview is at one of our office locations or online through a video conversation.
You consultationroom psychologist assesses if you are ready to start treatment with us. If that’s the case you immediately continue your treatment with us.
Treatment
After the intake phase you continue with your treatment program. In general you team of psychologists is the same as during the intake phase. Please also read our blended care way of working. You work on your goals during treatment, and progress is measured along the way.
You meet you consultation room psychologist every 2 weeks for an in-depth conversation. Your online psychologist is available for contact through our chat platform or video calls.
End of treatment
At the end of your treatment, you work with your psychologists to prevent a relapse or return of old habits. Your consultation room psychologist ends the treatment with a letter of discharge that is sent to your general practioner.
