Growing through Adversity
Trauma-informed therapy for English-speaking adults living in the Netherlands
At Legacy Movement, healing is understood as a gradual, empowering journey. One that honors your story, your resilience, and the possibilities ahead of you.
My name is Gabrielle Kleygrewe, and I am the founder and psychologist here at Legacy Movement. I am an American living in Amsterdam and working as a clinical psychologist. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adults navigating stress, overwhelm, identity changes, and the emotional weight of past experiences.
Whether you are an expat adjusting to life abroad, a student navigating adversity, or someone seeking a compassionate space to heal from your past, you are welcome here.
What I offer:
Safety: A calm, grounded space where your body and mind can settle down.
Understanding: Evidence-based trauma techniques that support you at your own pace.
Growth: Tools to help you rebuild trust, boundaries, and a stable sense of self.

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) sessions target specific traumatic experiences in order to reprocess memories from past to heal in the present. Traumas may range from singular events to complex dynamics. Length of treatment may vary based on need and complexity.
What Can You Expect:
We will work through a structured, step-by-step plan that will build the skills you need to manage stress in the present.
First, we will build your toolkit, such as breathing exercises to regulate your nervous system and specific techniques to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, all so you can feel capable and safe.
Once you feel ready, we will slowly work on telling your story in a way that gives you back control over those memories so they don't feel so overwhelming anymore.

A structured approach following cognitive and behavioral therapy guidelines to address stress, anxiety, and depression. We target the various strengths and connections between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to enhance more functional connections between those three.

The Cognitive Triangle: We will map out how your automatic thoughts influence your mood and physical sensations.
Guided Discovery: Through questioning and practical steps to take in daily life, we will test whether your beliefs are based on facts or feelings.
