René Cané Molinari

I have pursued a diverse educational journey that spans various fields of psychology, philosophy, and theology. With a Master's degree in Psychotherapy from the Catholic University of Louvain and the University of Geneva, I have honed my skills in understanding and treating mental health issues. I've further deepened my expertise with specialized training in Transference-Focused Psychotherapy from Columbia University and Mentalization-Based Therapy from the Anna Freud National Centre. My commitment to advancing the field is evident in my current pursuit of a Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Maastricht, where I explore the intersections of psychoanalysis and sexuality. Additionally, my research contributions include investigations into personality disorders, criminal behaviors, and trauma. With a foundation in philosophy and theology, I bring a holistic perspective to my therapeutic approach. These academic endeavors, coupled with my multicultural background and fluency in multiple languages, uniquely equip me to provide insightful and culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches.

Jeltje (the practice dog)

This psychotherapy practice has something very special, well...someone very special, my helper Jeltje. She is a Welsh Springer Spaniel that loves people more than anything in the world,  except for food obviously....

Dogs can play a valuable role in the therapeutic process, offering a unique and supportive presence that contributes to emotional well-being and personal growth. More precisely, they help by offering emotional support, reducing anxiety, and building trust. Their presence enhances communication, promotes mindfulness, and fosters empathy and social skills. Dogs can serve as metaphors, encourage responsibility, and provide cognitive and behavioral benefits. They can aid trauma healing by creating a safe space. Incorporating dogs into therapy is a collaborative decision, ensuring individual comfort and preference.
