Source: Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit (NZa), figures October 2025, published February 2026. Treeknorm: max. 4 weeks for intake, max. 14 weeks total. Only basis-ggz (mild to moderate issues) meets the norm; all specialist categories exceed it. Gedachten Makelaar offers coaching and vaktherapie — not a substitute for specialist GGZ, psychiatry or crisis intervention.
On 24 March 2026, MIND presented a petition with over 40,000 signatures to the Dutch Parliament, calling for a structural solution to GGZ waiting times.
Gedachten Makelaar is for coaching and vaktherapie with everyday concerns — stress, burnout, relationship issues or personal growth. These are the kinds of questions the basis-ggz handles, but where access can feel out of reach. Our support can also run alongside other forms of care.
For serious psychiatric issues, crisis situations or disorders requiring specialist treatment, GGZ remains the right path. Gedachten Makelaar is not a substitute for specialist care.
