Curriculum VitaE
Helma Festen was born on the 10th of February, 1982, in Groningen, and grew up in Oldehove, in the Netherlands. She fi nished secondary school in 2000 at the Praedinius Gymnasium in Groningen. In the same year, she started studying psychology at the University of Groningen.
Helma studied clinical psychology, with minors in neuropsychology and developmental psychology. She completed her internship at the psychosis department of GGZ Drenthe, and followed courses in Abnormal Psychology, Maori Society and Culture, and English Literature at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. In 2005, she received her master’s degree in clinical psychology. After her studies, she shortly worked as a researcher at the Rehabilitation Center De Hoogstraat in Utrecht, where she collaborated in the writing of a paper on two assessment scales that can be used to measure quality of life in partners of stroke patients. In 2006, she started working as a psychologist at the University Center of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Accare, in Groningen. She worked with children, adolescents and their parents, assessing and treating ADHD, anxiety and mood disorders. In 2009, she started her PhD at the department of Clinical Psychology and Experimental Psychopathology at the University of Groningen. In her research on preventing anxiety and depression in off spring of anxious and depressed patients, she collaborated with Accare, the University Center of Psychiatry Groningen, GGZ Friesland, and Curium-LUMC in Oegstgeest. In 2010, she married Mark Ganzevles. In 2012, daughter Isa was born, and in 2015 Isa got a little brother Finn.
While fi nishing her PhD, in 2014, Helma started working as a psychologist at GGZ Friesland, and studied to become a licensed mental health care psychologist (GZ BIG). She worked at an outpatient department for anxiety and depressive disorders in Drachten, treating patients with cognitive behavioral therapy. She also worked at a psychiatric ward with patients with severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMI) in Franeker, in a Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team in Drachten, and at a day hospital Mentalization Based Treatment for patients with personality disorders in Leeuwarden, focussing on group therapy (mentalization based treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion regulation training). In November 2016, she got her license (GZ BIG), and since the start of 2017, Helma works as a mental health psychologist (‘GZ psycholoog’) in a FACT team of GGZ Drenthe in Hoogeveen.
