Where does Espacio Seguro Psychotherapy come from?
At my university training as a health psychologist, I missed the need to prioritize, above academics, the creation of a space where we could feel confidence and security, where we could learn to bond with ourselves and with others. Not only as future psychologists, but also as people who will accompany other people.
This arduous task of being present when bonding is complex, and requires the creation of a safe place where we can express ourselves without fear of external judgment. Just because it is not easy to find, does not mean it is impossible. Throughout my professional career, I have come across many different spaces, and I have been fortunate to discover some that honored this philosophy of life. It is because of these people, and the courage they inspired in me, that in 2022 I decided to open this place, a space where I can continue to grow and learn from each and every one of you in a respectful and loving accompaniment.

Another of my main objectives in the clinic, besides creating a safe bonding space, is to encourage each client to create his/her own safe place inside oneself.
Nowadays, we are faced with the repeated use of the word 'self-care', and sometimes it is used in an attempt to encompass too much. We seek this care by going to yoga classes, attending the retreat given by such eminence, or reading more and more self-help books. This is all well and good, but sometimes this movement can be a silent search for a quiet space within ourselves. And it can happen that, we don't know why, we don't manage to find it.
The Espacio Seguro project arises with the illusion of creating a place where we can be genuine from a position of empowerment and respect towards myself and the other. Thus giving the opportunity to unlearn, and create different, healthy links and from a kinder perspective with myself and others.
