WELCOME TO BEACON COUNSELING
AND COACHING SERVICES
ABOUT ME
My name is Malinda Reuijl and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from the State of Michigan. I provide English-speaking counseling services to the International, Dutch, and Expat communities in the Netherlands. Although my practice is based near to The Hague, I am currently providing counseling and coaching services online.
​
I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Masters of Arts in Counseling in the U.S.A. I have lived in Europe for the past 7 years and spent the last 15 years participating in short-term volunteer work in several countries throughout Europe.
​
I have approximately 20 years of experience in the mental health/counseling field, working with children, teens, adults, older adults, and couples. I'm also a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CAADC) and I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).​
​
I also enjoy teaching both undergraduate and graduate level courses in Psychology at an American University in the Netherlands, where I'm a Senior faculty member in the Behavioral & Social Science department.
HOW CAN I HELP?
I have experience working with:
-
Adjustment and Transition Issues
-
Anxiety Disorders/Anxious symptoms
-
Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar disorder)
-
Trauma and Stress-related Issues/PTSD
​
-
Childhood disorders; ADD/ADHD
-
Substance Use Disorders/Addiction
-
Thought Disorders (Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective)
​
I also have experience teaching groups and organizations about addiction/recovery, borderline personality disorder, the stages of change/motivational interviewing, managing crisis and trauma related behaviors.
​
COUNSELING STYLE
Although I have a foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, client-centered, and existential therapy techniques, I like to use a more integrative approach to assess the need of each person and blend the techniques to what is best.
​​
I believe that each person has insight into their own situation, and I like to work alongside them to help bring that out.
​
Together we can work through the best way to move forward in the process of change.
I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you!
