Over Ozge
Hello, my name is Özge Çimen. I am a 30-year-old psychologist from Turkey. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology in Turkey and later moved to Germany to earn my Master’s in Dance and Movement Therapy. After finishing my studies, I relocated to the Netherlands with my family, where I have now been living in IJburg for the past three years.
I am officially registered with the KVK and have been working in healthcare for children, teenagers, and adults with special needs for more than a year. In total, I have 3 years of experience in this field. I support mostly children both in group settings and through private sessions at their homes. Depending on each child’s and family’s needs, my approach can vary: sometimes I focus on teaching new developmental skills, sometimes we explore art or movement therapy, sometimes we play creative games or engage in verbal therapy, and sometimes I provide support with physical care.
I would describe myself as empathetic, helpful, and cheerful. I truly love this work and find joy in supporting people and their families. At the moment, I speak Turkish and English (fluently), and I am currently learning and understanding Dutch as well. But I am not really confident with that yet.
Sincerely,
Özge Çimen
