Individual therapy: who is it for?

For those who don't just want
to stop feeling,
but to build a life
that is meaningful.

For those who know that pain is,
at times,
unavoidable, and so
choose
to make it worth it.

For those who know we only live
once.

I hold a Licentiate Degree in Psychology (Argentina), a Master's Degree in General Health Psychology (Spain) and an International Diploma in Contextual Behavioural Psychotherapies. It is a thorough training in clinical and health psychology that prepares me to support people through a wide range of situations.

Even so, there are areas where I have more experience and training:

Some stories

A comprehensive approach

Scientific

Cutting-edge principles and research from behavioural science, adapted to your situation.

Contextual

We're not looking for labels or someone to blame. We understand your situation as a whole.

Human

We move at your pace. Your freedom, comfort and care are my first priority.

Dialectical

Working on deeper patterns and improving your life today aren't opposites. We need both to sustain your process.

Practice

Worldwide

Online sessions, wherever you are.

Testimonials

Those who've worked with me say:

★★★★★

"I felt treated as a person with difficulties, not just another patient. What I like most about the sessions is feeling that someone is genuinely trying to help me."

"Dedicated and committed professional, even outside the office. You take the time to truly listen, reflect on your response, and give me the best possible feedback. You also know how to challenge me and make me think more deeply. I leave almost every session with things to keep working on and tools to manage my crises. I value the follow-up outside sessions and the way you check in after a difficult one. Since I started therapy, I've not only accomplished many things I wanted to do but was afraid to, but I'm also getting to understand myself much better. I leave with more clarity and simplicity. Thank you for your work and your dedication. I would definitely recommend you."

★★★★★

"I've recommended you because it's hard to find someone who truly understands you. Today I handle highly stressful situations better and I'm more successful at accepting the problems I need to solve. I value your openness, understanding, and the sense that the problem is being genuinely analyzed in true depth."

"I was afraid it would be like before, but it was completely different. For the first time I'm being truly honest, without thinking 'this is what Iván would want to hear from me.' It's very clear how hard you work to understand me and make me feel heard. I'm learning to connect with emotions before they overflow me, and to make better decisions."

"My self-reflection has been growing, my ability to listen has improved — both with myself and with others. My choice of words when speaking with people is beginning to improve. I can express what I think more transparently. What I liked most was the honesty, commitment, planning and adaptability, and the professionalism you bring. I recommend it for those who want to dare to break patterns and learn to show themselves vulnerable."

"Therapy with Iván made sense from day one. What I like most is the freedom to talk about anything — from my greatest fears to my deepest embarrassments — knowing I'm being heard by someone with exceptional human values. Iván genuinely commits to the goals we set, recognizes and celebrates my progress, and more than a psychologist, he feels like a friend. I've improved my relationship with myself and others, and I feel capable and confident in myself. Deeply grateful."

★★★★★

"I feel more clarity when starting a relationship with a woman, more maturity and more firmness as well, which made me see myself as a more complete and more trustworthy person. I liked the fluidity of therapy and the peace I'm gaining."

"There are few professionals who know how to make you feel understood and not judged. Today I identify my emotions better, and what I liked most was the transparency in the sessions."

Leila

★★★★★

"I recommend you because I consider you a great professional, but above all, a good person. I had a bad experience with my last therapist, where I lost trust and didn't think I could trust another mental health professional again. From the first session I noticed something different: a space of trust, safety, support and respect. I'm gradually understanding better what happens to me and discovering other things to work on."

Candela

★★★★★

"Going to therapy doesn't feel like an obligation. I can talk about my problems with confidence and without feeling judged. I noticed specific progress related to changing my study methods. I would especially recommend you to people my age, because being young yourself, you understand what young people go through."

Amparo

★★★★★

"What I value most about our process is the commitment you bring to everything that happens to me, and how you seek alternatives and proposals to address situations in the most appropriate way. Your empathy and closeness make it easier to stick with treatment (something that has always been difficult for me in therapy)."

Giuliana

★★★★★

"I felt comfortable and free in the office. I learned to be more patient with my emotions and feelings. I'm learning not to try to escape or cut off uncomfortable emotions (very difficult but in progress). I loved the homework assignments, and the theoretical explanations helped me understand many things. Virtual sessions deserve 5/5."

Caro

"I've recommended you because you have a different approach to therapy, and because of your thorough preparation and detailed interest before each session. I leave with clarity and awareness, and a felt improvement."
