Psichology

The psychology service offers a space for understanding, a place to get to know oneself better and understand what is happening. It provides guidance to navigate such an uncertain, intangible area as emotions or the mind.

Improvement is achieved through greater well-being with oneself and with others, which is accomplished through self-awareness, behavioral changes, and a shift in attitude toward life.

The duration of the psychotherapy process varies from a few sessions in simpler cases to over a year for individuals with more complex issues. Some people, after completing their process and resolving the issue they initially sought therapy for, continue to have occasional maintenance sessions whenever they feel the need to revisit what their minds tend to forget or when something new arises that they want to address within the therapeutic relationship.

SPECIALTIES

Clinical Psychotherapy

“Each person is their own adventure”

You are programmed to survive, not to be happy.

Therapy helps individuals deeply understand themselves, recognize how their mind works specifically, and learn how to balance it. It offers alternative perspectives for managing oneself with autonomy, thereby providing the strength to stand on their own feet and organize their thoughts.

The most common issues addressed in therapy include: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, abuse, low self-esteem, lack of communication skills (e.g., not knowing how to say “no”), management of impulsivity and anger, frustration management, chronic pain and/or illness management, family conflicts, obsessive thoughts, poor thought management, inability to enjoy life, lack of meaning, eating disorders and body image complexes, and addictions.

Psychonutrition

“Behind what you eat, there’s more than you think”

How we nourish ourselves in life is a reflection of how we nourish ourselves at the table, and vice versa.

Our relationship with food is deeply linked to our emotions. Often, we’re not hungry in our stomachs, but in our hearts, and we may overeat when what we truly need is emotional comfort.

What does the psychology of eating help with?

Achieving a healthy body composition without becoming obsessed with the process or fearing weight regain.
Managing anxiety around food and emotional hunger.
Breaking habits that make it hard to stick to a medical plan.
Establishing and maintaining healthier routines.
Overcoming obesity.
Resolving the conflict between wanting a good body composition and dealing with laziness, self-sabotage, or lack of willpower to achieve it.
Losing weight and maintaining it long-term.
Creating habits that support your ability to follow a medical or dietary plan.
Changing routines to adopt healthier ones that move you in the right direction.
Managing emotional eating and other eating disorders.
Balancing your physical and emotional well-being.

Sexology and Couples Therapy

“Affective-sexual education and relational intelligence make us free, capable of connecting, enjoying, and empower us to care for our bonds.”

Sexual problems are multifactorial. In some cases, cultural and social influences, the desire to prove oneself, or low self-esteem lie behind these issues.

Sex therapy is both informational and educational, as many people are misinformed or hold false beliefs about sex that cause anxiety. Anxiety and fear can manifest as dysfunctions. Additionally, personal experiences shape how individuals learn to express affection and sexuality.

Emotional, structural, and unconscious aspects often lie behind the symptoms.

Couples therapy focuses on improving the functioning of the romantic bond or facilitating the separation of a couple.

Psychology offers couples various techniques to facilitate communication, relearn how to understand each other, eliminate bad habits, and update the attitudes and philosophies behind the concept of love.

Couples therapy helps people reorganize, communicate with respect, and leave behind past conflicts. It takes the pulse of the relationship to discern what is negotiable and what isn’t.

Couples therapy puts on the table each person’s values, what matters most to them, and their life philosophy.
