WhatsApp +54 9 1140872012 - SPANISH and ENGLISH therapy Sessions. What leads a person to start a psychological treatment? Anxiety, low spirits, panic, mourning, anguish, loneliness, indecision, uncertainty, etc. The causes can be countless, but there may be something similar in all of them: the attempts to solve these problems are no longer enough. That is my invitation: the search for relief, which enables movements, changes, and improvement in those who start a therapy. A commitment to life, desire, and own well-being.

Are you struggling with an eating disorder or low self-esteem? Are negative body image and self-doubt holding you back from living your best life?

I utilize my ten years of experience as a therapist to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your concerns and make meaningful changes.

Do you at times feel misunderstood, insecure, and overwhelmed? Disconnected from yourself or the people you love? Life can feel chaotic when we get stuck in old negative patterns. And the conflicts in our relationships can leave us feeling anxious and unsure what to do. Deep down, you may recognize there is past trauma, but you don't know how to release it. Maybe you have tried talk therapy to gain understanding, yet the wounds seem deeply entrenched in your body. Sometimes you worry that you will never fully heal. And yet you know, deep in your heart, that more is possible for you...

Why am I like this? Seeking the answer to this question is the reason people want to work with me. I believe everyone deserves to know, love, and accept their whole self. Through the therapeutic process you will learn the skills to understand your past experiences and face future challenges with more confidence. Healing and self-discovery are long-term investments for yourself and the people in your life. There is no “one size fits all” solution, which is why I incorporate elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, DBT, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment Theory into my therapeutic approach.

Bicycle Health exists to treat all patients with opioid use disorder. Many people who have been taking opioids can become dependent on these substances, and opioids can start to take control of their life. They have cravings, think about opioids all the time, and are unable to fulfill their daily responsibilities, like going to work or taking care of friends and family. It becomes an “all consuming disease”. Anyone struggling with opioid use disorder who is seeking convenient, discreet, non-judgmental treatment may be a good fit for Bicycle Health.

It can be so difficult to enjoy a “normal” life when your mind is preoccupied with diet, weight, or the size and shape of your body. It’s hard to concentrate at work or school when you can’t stop fixating on your muffin top, and how many calories or “points” you have left for the day. You feel anxious when it comes to being around other people because you fear they’re judging you. You have no idea how you got into this vicious cycle, or how to get out. If this sounds like you, I can help you find your way to making peace with food and your body!

Trauma is linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems (Bessel, 2021). We tend to think that trauma only happens to war veterans or victims of assault. However, being raised in an unpredictable home, difficult relationship with parents, or exposed to stress etc. can have a life-long impact. People can feel hesitant about seeking treatment for trauma because it can open a door to feeling overwhelmed. However, this is not the case with the therapy I provide, Somatic Experiencing, a therapy that takes years to be trained on.

A non-intrusive approach promotes their participation and commitment to the therapeutic process. Children and adolescents' families are always involved. Adults also benefit from an open communication approach that allows them to face their emotional stressors successfully.

My intention as a therapist is to empower individuals be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm environment, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 12 years of a dedicated meditation practice. I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and ultimately to cultivate a "life worth living."

It's important to me that you feel the space is yours as soon as we start talking, and you feel empowered to discuss whatever is on your mind. Everything you may want to work on is usually all connected anyway, so we work to get at the core of the issues. I help you understand why you feel anxious or depressed yet think shouldn’t be feeling that way. (I assure you there are reasons for why you feel the way you do.) I can help you understand why you push people away when you want them to come closer; why you keep returning to those partners and jobs that crush you. Let's unravel the threads that got you to that point.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
