I'm empathetic, respectful, responsible, and cheerful. I love reading and analyzing content, so I'm also passionate about series and cinema. I like to study and stay updated on everything related to mental health.
Effective and affective communication is a powerful therapeutic tool. My work is based on the Gestalt therapy model, which focuses on present experience and personal responsibility. I focus on the individual's perception and contact with the environment, fostering self-awareness and self-knowledge. This therapeutic approach promotes the integration of fragmented aspects of the self and the recognition of current needs and emotions. On the other hand, person-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, congruence, and unconditional acceptance. This modality seeks to create a safe and supportive environment for the individual to explore their feelings and thoughts freely and authentically. In crisis work, both approaches complement each other by providing a space of emotional containment, enabling the person in crisis to process their experience, identify their internal and external resources, and find ways to cope with the situation with greater resilience and clarity.
In my free time, I really enjoy cooking and exercising. I am a determined person and I firmly believe in the human ability to grow. I love reading, listening to audiobooks, and comedy series.
In my sessions, we work with both your personal history and how you experience things in the present, with the goal of understanding how you do things, what you do, and why you do it, to become more aware of the decisions you make and how you could do things differently.
Hi, I'm Lizbeth. I'm a flexible person who really enjoys listening and reflecting to find creative solutions to what happens. I enjoy running and doing yoga. I like watching movies and listening to music of all genres. Traveling and discovering new places is important because it allows me to learn about new ways of being, both in other people and in myself.
I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist focused on promoting cognitive and emotional balance in individuals. My clinical training allows me to observe, listen, and understand how your daily experiences affect your feelings and are connected to events in your personal history. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them discover how their experiences shape their thoughts, emotions, and actions so that together we can transform the situations that hinder their growth or cause discomfort. Through active and deep listening, I create a personalized work plan to uncover the resources needed to transform what worries you, which may cause feelings of discomfort, inadequacy, or confusion about your desires or difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
I am someone who lives life with the mission of helping people feel better. I have a family consisting of a partner and three daughters, and I enjoy family moments, as well as times when I can go rock climbing, play board games, and explore different places. I enjoy and learn from every person I interact with.
Beyond theories and methods, I focus on helping people explore everything that prevents them from functioning as they want. In my sessions, you'll feel supported and understood, discovering a genuine interest in helping you, seeing the world through your eyes, and being your mirror to find the best solutions to your problems. Talking about yourself with me, someone who is completely impartial, will help you more accurately identify your issues and find all available solutions so you can make the best decisions. I will be glad to meet you and support you during this important moment in your life.
Personally, in my free time, I really enjoy reading and solving puzzles and mysteries, whether in books or in movies/TV.
I usually accompany people on their journey to find tools that provide solutions to their conflicts so they can use them at any other time or circumstance. I consider it important to identify the conflict or what causes discomfort in order to develop a plan and thus have a clear goal to reach. Based on the plan developed together, by discussing and identifying what's around the uncomfortable situation, we look for strategies that are suitable for each person to reach the desired goal.
I love watching sunrises, reading a good book, having coffee, exercising. I enjoy good company and movies. In general, I have a good sense of humor, and I wonder about things in life that few people question.
Listening from a Systemic and psychodynamic perspective, focusing on the here and now to arrive at joint responses that enable the creation of practical tools, offering a different and more functional vision for each client.
I am a person very committed to my family and work. I really enjoy traveling and cultural exchanges. I dedicate my time to clinical consultations, keeping myself updated, reading, and spending quality time with my close ones. Coffee and books are part of my daily routine, and I enjoy those little moments to the fullest!
During sessions, the patient brings up the concerns they want to work on. The goal is to address and resolve conflicts at their core, helping the patient avoid repeating patterns that prevent a healthy and fulfilling life. Sometimes, we are so deeply involved in the conflict that a professional is needed to offer a different perspective, allowing us to approach issues in a new way.
Music is always present in my activities, especially when playing the piano or creating playlists that accompany me throughout the day. Cinema is another favorite passion, as well as going out for coffee when the weather is particularly nice. Professionally, I work as a university professor in various academic systems in Mexico, teaching subjects related to human behavior and development, psychology, communication, vocational guidance, among others. I also work as a consultant in human development and psychoeducation in the corporate sector, and I practice clinical psychology in my private practice. Many different activities during the day — many good music playlists to accompany them!
The most important thing will always be to offer you a listening ear free of judgment. I want to learn from you, promoting a space where you feel safe and confident so that together we can explore, understand, and learn from what is happening, worrying, or distressing you, in order to make visible those areas that often remain hidden from our consciousness. Once we start achieving this, we begin to understand little by little where that conflict originated and what effects it has on your present life, with the aim of seeking alternatives and solutions. In each session, you have the right and freedom to choose what to bring to this space of support that we build together, whatever is important, meaningful, and necessary to you. Since what happens to us and we experience as human beings is usually connected to other areas of our life. So exploring, interweaving, and linking what you want to share with me will always be very enriching.
Hello! I'm Denisse. I really enjoy listening to jazz and salsa, as well as a good mystery novel. I believe our experiences and learning shape our perception of everything around us, so I love to travel and meet different cultures and people.
We'll work in a space where you feel safe. Active listening will help me learn more about the behaviors and emotions that are causing you issues in your daily life, and allow both of us to choose strategies that you feel comfortable with to change those problematic patterns.
Hi! My name is Alejandra Alvarez. I love traveling, meeting people, learning about their stories, culture, and life. I consider myself open and social; I love humor and making others laugh. Helping others has always made me happy. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, my dog, constantly working on my professional and personal skills, as well as expanding my education. Fun fact: I love sharks.
There are three important things that matter to me when working with you: that you feel comfortable, that you enjoy the session, and that what we do works. I work with brief systemic therapy focused on solutions and cognitive behavioral therapy, which is a very friendly and effective type of therapy. We focus on solutions, not blame, but on understanding the problem, those involved, what’s not working, and making the necessary changes to achieve your therapeutic goal or objective.
Hi! I'm Isabel, and one of the things I enjoy most is my work. I also really like reading, painting, knitting, and taking photographs. One of my greatest sources of joy is discovering new places. I enjoy nature a lot, and walks in the woods and mountains fill me with energy. The time of year I enjoy the most is autumn. I'm curious and I love learning. I'm also the cat lady (I have 3).
I am very interested in hearing why you seek companionship. I strive to create a safe and calm space. We seek and agree on work objectives, and we approach them with various strategies (cognitive-behavioral and also with art), constantly reviewing if we are progressing towards the place you want to reach.
Hello! My name is Michelle, and I’m a Clinical Psychologist with a psychoanalytic orientation. I love spending time with my family, enjoying gastronomy, and watching drama, science fiction, or psychological thriller movies and series that make me think. After finishing my degree, I emigrated to Argentina for postgraduate studies, and after completing them, I moved to Mexico, where I currently live. Through this experience, I've become interested in migrant grief as a psychologist.
In our sessions, you'll find a judgment-free listening space where I invite you to pause and reflect on what currently drives you to start therapy. I'll encourage you to talk about yourself (from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood), your family history, your relationships (family, partner, friendships), and other essential aspects of your life to get to know you so I can support and guide you in this therapeutic process. In the first session, we'll establish the frequency of sessions and the goals you wish to achieve in therapy.
I'm an enthusiastic person with a sense of humor. I love traveling, discovering new cultures, eating delicious food, and spending time with my dogs.
I'm looking to create a space where you feel confident and free of judgment so we can work on creative strategies that allow you to visualize different perspectives. I use introspection exercises, art, and writing.
Hi! My name is Olaf. I'm a Clinical Psychologist with a Psychoanalytic orientation. I like music, sports, movies, and cooking. I've always enjoyed having conversations and listening to others.
In the sessions, you'll have a space where you can feel heard and comfortable, without judgment. We'll work together to find ways to address the problems and discomfort you may be experiencing. Through introspection about different moments in your life, your family, and your relationships, we'll identify the possible causes of this discomfort and work on the patterns that might be causing these issues. Throughout my professional journey, I've worked with: personality disorders, depression, addictions, grief, migratory grief, relationship breakups, anxiety, and somatic disorders, among others.
Hi! I'm Priscila and in my free time I enjoy reading, listening to music, and walking. I love traveling and cinema.
