Valeria Verhaar Flores, MSc

Founder of VF-Psychology

I am a Clinical Psychologist specialized in Child and Adolescent Psychology, holding a Master of Science (Cum Laude) from Leiden University. I also earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Cum Laude) from the Universidad Autónoma de Chile.

Originally from Chile, I have been living in the Netherlands since 2019, where I work with a diverse international community of children, adolescents, adults, and their families.

In my work, I focus on understanding each person’s unique needs and providing tailored support to foster meaningful and lasting change. Whether working with children, parents, or adults, I value a warm, collaborative approach in which clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

My credentials

I am a registered member of the Dutch Association of Psychologists (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen – SPS-NIP, Member No. 245010) and hold an SKJ registration as a Master Psychologist in the Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd (Registration No. 160029073).

I founded VF-Psychology in February 2020 with the aim of providing specialized psychological support tailored to the unique challenges faced by expats living in the Netherlands. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—feel understood and guided in navigating life transitions and mental health concerns.

Alongside my private practice, I collaborate with an autism center, where I provide behavioral therapy to children with autism. In this work, I take a holistic approach that integrates biological, psychological, and social factors, supporting each child’s development and emotional well-being in a comprehensive and meaningful way.

I have extensive experience in psychological diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation at both the individual and group levels. My work includes:

✔ Psychological assessments, clinical case reviews, and therapy planning
✔ Developing and leading mental health workshops and self-care programs
✔ Providing therapy for expats and international clients in Spanish and English
✔ Specialized behavioral therapy for children with autism

✔ Working with expats, supporting individuals facing cultural adjustment, identity struggles, stress, and emotional challenges related to relocating to a new country.
