EMPRYNT™
What EMPRYNT™ Is
EMPRYNT stands for Empowering Pattern Reprogramming Yielding Neuropsychological Transformation.
The methodology integrates neuropsychology, clinical psychology, nervous system regulation, and pattern-based therapeutic models — working directly with the mechanisms that drive behavior, rather than only analyzing them.
Three things happen in the EMPRYNT™ process:
01
Your core relational and emotional patterns are identified — not conceptually, but clinically.
02
The origin of those patterns is understood — where they formed, what need they were meeting, why they have been so resistant to change.
03
And then they are rewired — at the level of the brain and nervous system where they actually live.
This is what allows change to move from temporary insight to lasting transformation.
EMPRYNT™ vs. Traditional Therapy
Both offer genuine value. They are not in competition.
Traditional therapy is irreplaceable — particularly when what someone needs most is to be witnessed and held, in times of grief, loss, or acute emotional pain, rather than actively working to change a pattern. There is absolutely a time and a place for it.
EMPRYNT™ builds on what traditional therapy provides. It extends the work beyond insight and into the brain and nervous system — where patterns are not just understood, but changed.
For the person who has already done significant therapeutic work and finds themselves still repeating the same relational cycles — EMPRYNT™ is where the next layer of work happens.

Background
Dr. Maartje earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2007, after which she began her career as a clinical professional. She went on to lead outpatient neuropsychology and adult ADHD treatment clinics, designing treatment programs and working with clients experiencing personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. With certifications in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), CBT for adult ADHD, schema-focused therapy, and EMDR, she brought a clinical, evidence-based foundation to every case. After moving to the United States, she pursued her Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering with a focus on Human Factors & Ergonomics, applying brain science to the design of systems.
