At this time I’m offering online psychotherapy only.

I’m trained and qualified to offer individual psychotherapy.

I often work with clients who are experiencing relationship problems they would like to address through individual therapy. Goals may include increasing understanding for personal patterns, improving communication skills, or reconnecting with personal values.

Sometimes, clients reach out for individual therapy before (or without) starting couples therapy with their partner. Other times, clients have been encouraged by their couples therapist to address personal concerns that may be affecting the couple’s progress.

Whichever your case, feel free to get in touch to find out if therapy with me is adequate for you and your needs.

I’m a registered psychologist in Chile (confirm here with #392845).

At this time, Chilean legislation does not explicitly address psychologist or client location requirements for online therapy. As with most things, there are upsides and downsides to this flexibility.

On the one hand, I can be mobile and work with clients based in multiple locations. On the other, clients may feel vulnerable to bad practice, be unable to reimburse invoices, or present problems throughout the course of therapy that cannot be adequately addressed online.

If you have any of these concerns, feel free to let me know during a consultation call. Together, we can explore whether online therapy with me is appropriate for you and your needs.

My current time zone is UTC/GMT+8. I typically have available slots during South America evenings, Europe mornings, and Asia Pacific afternoons.

The standard (and my recommended) frequency for psychotherapy is one session per week, especially at the beginning. Once the therapeutic relationship is well established and you feel more stable, we might agree to meet every other week.

While I understand for some people this may seem like too much of a time, emotional or financial investment, frequency and consistency of treatment are key for meaningful and lasting change.

Spaced out or irregular sessions may help you feel better in the moment, but make it harder (and slower) to address the underlying problems that bring you to consult in the first place. I offer weekly and, in some cases, biweekly sessions to ensure your investment is truly worth the effort.

There’s no generic answer to this question as the length of treatment is highly personalized based on several factors, including the nature of your presenting problem and your goals for therapy.

What you should feel throughout the process is that you’re moving meaningfully towards the goals agreed upon at the start and, eventually, that you’ve achieved and maintained the desired change. In my experience, this can take anywhere from a few sessions for simpler or recent problems to a couple of years for deep-seated patterns.

I know this can feel extremely vague and risky. If you are concerned about the duration of therapy, I encourage you to discuss it with me during a consultation call.

I charge $55,000 CLP (approximately $60 USD depending on exchange rates) per 50-minute session.

I accept payment via bank transfer at the start of each session or at the start of the month. Some clients choose to pay session-to-session, while others prefer to do a monthly payment (this option typically reduces commission costs). Transfers from non-Chilean banks can be made through Wise, Remitly, or similar services.

I understand that things come up and sometimes plans need to change. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I request that you let me know at least 24 hours in advance and I will accommodate you for the soonest available slot.

If you fail to cancel/reschedule your session at least 24 hours ahead of time, I may charge you the full session fee.

I issue Chilean invoices. Therefore, if you’re covered by a private Chilean health insurance (an Isapre and/or seguro complementario), you can file reimbursement claims. The exact amount and/or number of sessions you will be reimbursed will depend on your plan.

If you have an international plan, please direct this question to your insurer.

Yes. I have limited slots for clients who would like to work with me, have struggled to find a therapist with good fit (typically due to language or cultural gaps), and cannot afford my full fee. Rates are agreed upon on a case by case basis, depending on income and circumstances.

If this is your case, do get in touch. If my sliding scale slots are full, I will likely offer you to sign up for a waitlist or do my best to refer you to a trusted colleague.
