What a therapy session with me is like
Each session with the Merida psychologist lasts approximately 50 minutes. During that time, we explore what you’re experiencing, identify patterns, work on strategies, and move toward your goals. Therapy can be in person or online, depending on your needs.
In the first session, you tell me what brings you to therapy. Then we explore your symptoms, emotions, and context. After that, we define realistic and achievable goals, and I explain how we will work together and what you can expect from the process.
From there, each session becomes a space for reflection, learning, and transformation.
Couples therapy and infidelity: how to rebuild after Losing trust.
For many people, discovering that their partner has been unfaithful represents a profound rupture of the trust and emotional security that sustained the relationship. However, although infidelity can mark a clear before‑and‑after, it does not necessarily mean the end of the couple. In many cases, couples therapy becomes a fundamental tool for understanding what happened, managing the pain, and deciding the future of the relationship. One of the main goals of the therapeutic process is to help couples address the crisis constructively. After an infidelity, it is common for repetitive arguments, accusations, and communication difficulties to arise. The therapist acts
Couples therapy, a path toward reconnection.

Couples therapy is a valuable tool for strengthening communication, resolving conflicts, and improving emotional connection. What is couples therapy? Couples therapy is a psychotherapeutic process in which two people work with a specialized professional to address the problems affecting their relationship. It is not only about “saving” relationships in crisis, but also about learning to build a
The autistic spectrum and its diagnosis
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that influences the way a person communicates, learns, and relates to others. It is called a “spectrum” because not all individuals show the same symptoms or with the same intensity; some may have significant difficulties with social interaction, while others display special talents in areas such as memory, art, or mathematics. How Is ASD Diagnosed? Unlike other medical conditions, there is no laboratory test or blood analysis that can confirm autism. Diagnosis is based on observing the person’s development and behavior. This can be complemented with certain psychometric tests; however, these are
Frequent Questions about Anxiety in Adults
What Is Anxiety? Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, and uneasiness. A person may sweat, feel restless and tense, and experience heart palpitations. It can be a normal reaction to stress.

Anxiety is the body’s natural response to stress, but when it becomes excessive and persistent, it turns into a disorder that affects daily life. If you experience anxiety symptoms that significantly impact your life, it’s important to seek
Awareness is the first boundary.
Feeling off after visiting family doesn’t mean something went wrong, it means an old system stayed online longer than it needed to. After spending time with family you may not recognize yourself. You might be more reactive, quieter, more on edge, more submissive or more defensive. That’s not you backsliding, it’s a role getting reactivated. Families don’t relate to who you are now, they relate to who you had to be then. The responsible one, the pacemaker, the easy one, the problem solver, the one who got blamed, the truth speaker or the one who didn’t need much. Those roles
