Prevention, Support, Guidance, and Therapy
Individual Therapy
It focuses on supporting the individual in identifying, modifying, developing, and strengthening their skills to achieve a life of serenity and well-being.
The duration of the sessions depends on the present needs, ranging from 60 to 90 minutes.
Couples Therapy
Its goal is for each partner to identify the origin of their distress, modify, develop, and strengthen the skills that facilitate effective communication and the creation of agreements that sustain the relationship.
The duration of family therapy sessions depends on present needs, ranging from 90 to 120 minutes.
Family Therapy
It focuses on supporting the family group in healthily coping with changes, developing, and strengthening skills that promote communication and agreements that facilitate healthy coexistence among its members.
The duration of family therapy sessions depends on present needs, ranging from 90 to 120 minutes.
Group Therapy
It focuses on the same aspects as individual therapy. I offer it as an integrated part of individual therapy for those who may benefit from this group modality.
The duration of the sessions is 120 minutes.

It promotes privacy and confidentiality, and its effectiveness is comparable to in-person therapy.

Do you accept medical insurance? What are the payment methods? How much does therapy cost?
I am not a provider for medical insurance plans. However, I can provide a receipt that you may use to request reimbursement from your insurance provider. Please check with your provider regarding the terms and conditions of their reimbursement policy before requesting a receipt. Payments can be made via PayPal or AthMóvil. The cost per therapy session depends on the modality and duration. When scheduling an appointment, you will receive relevant cost information.
How does a therapy session begin? How should I prepare for the session?
On the scheduled appointment day, you will receive an email or text message to confirm your attendance. Before the session starts, you will receive instructions and a link to connect to the virtual call platform. Choose a comfortable, safe, and private space with a stable internet connection for the virtual session. Preferably, select a place, day, and time that allows for minimal distractions. Have drinking water and a cloth or paper towel nearby. I recommend bringing materials for taking notes if needed.
