Hi, I'm Valentina

I believe in close, human therapy without labels: a meeting between two people, where you set the pace.

I'm a clinical psychologist trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy with a humanistic approach. For over a decade I've supported people through difficult moments and in rebuilding their relationship with themselves.

My office is a warm, confidential space where you can let your guard down, make sense of what you feel and take firm steps toward the wellbeing you deserve.

Frequently asked

Let's answer your questions

Are the sessions confidential?
Absolutely. Everything you share is protected by professional confidentiality. What is spoken in session, stays in session.
How long is each session?
Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes. We define the frequency together according to your process, usually weekly or biweekly.
Is online therapy just as effective?
Yes. Evidence shows that online therapy can be as effective as in person. What matters is the bond, and that is also built through the screen.
How do I know if I need therapy?
You don't have to be in crisis to start. If something weighs on you, unsettles you, or you simply want to know yourself better, therapy can help. The first call helps us see it together.
How much does a session cost?
Tell me about your case on WhatsApp and I'll share the rates and available options. I aim for therapy to be accessible and sustainable for you.
Change begins with a conversation

You don't need to have
it all figured out to begin.

Just the wish to feel better. I'll take care of walking the rest of the way with you.
