MY STORY
Professional Counselor
Welcome to Ten Bruggencate Counseling! My name is Danielle ten Bruggencate and I am a Professional Counselor. I obtained my license and began practicing counseling in the United States in 2013, working frequently with children, adolescents, families, and adults. My experience also includes 10 years in social services, working with children and families in crisis. In the Netherlands, I provide English-speaking counseling and consulting services. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them imbalance, anxiety, and stress. As a clinician I have experience and training in trauma, family crisis and separation, depression, anxiety, adjustment, sexuality, and working with LGBTQ+ clients. My goal is to help you tackle overall wellness in a holistic way. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to helping you. Sessions are available online in order to provide the most access to a broader distribution of clients. Get in touch to schedule a free consultation and to learn more.
CLIENT-CENTERED APPROACH
You define the problem. I help you find the solutions.
ADJUSTMENT AND ACCLIMATION
Living in a new country can bring it's own difficulties and challenges, as well as benefits and opportunities. We will work together to address adjustment roadblocks, including family, social, and other issues faced in this unique circumstance.
INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY COUNSELING
My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. This may include trauma processing, family sessions, or partner sessions.
INCREASING WELL-BEING
Feeling overwhelmed with the different goals and tasks in your life? We will work together to develop a plan increasing whole-health, including emotional, physical, nutritional, and personal goals to increase balance and overall wellness. Contact me for an appointment today.
Whatever you’re struggling with, I’m here to help you achieve your goals. Flexibility is key and I am available to provide sessions video call or via message as appropriate. Contact me to find out more.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CONFIDENTIALITY
All information shared within a session is confidential, as are client files. Reasons for breaking confidentiality include the potential for harm to self, harm to others, or reports of abuse. Confidentiality is also important to consider when using electronic/web-based modes- it is limited to the security of the app and your personal firewalls and computer security. I adhere to the ACA Ethical guidelines.
PAYMENT
Sessions are billed according to type. If you choose to have a session in an office, additional fees may apply and vary based upon office location. Payment may be made electronically. Schedule your free intake session today! Contact me for additional information regarding fees and payment.
INSURANCE POLICIES
Dutch Insurance:
As an International Counselor, I am not registered with the BIG and am therefore not contracted to any Dutch insurance that would cover sessions via direct billing. Therefore I am not able to accept Dutch health insurance payments at this time.
International Insurance:
Many international and expat insurances may cover a percentage of the cost of counseling sessions. International insurance often operates on a pay and claim basis and is the responsibility of the client, not the counselor to seek reimbursement. Please check your policy before beginning counseling services.
