Hello
My name is Delfina Palacio
I'm a trained psychologist with 6 years of experience in psychotherapy.
I'm from Argentina and I graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
I'm also a Yoga instructor, I studied at a local therapeutic yoga school.
Currently I work as a psychotherapist and also as a Yoga instructor, seeking to create a union between these two worlds.
About Me
I describe myself as a person under construction. I find myself in a personal path seeking my purpose in life and while I’m on my way, my intention is to help other people do this too. I believe it's a dynamic situation, a process, like therapy.
Besides my studies at the University, I have also attended different courses, with the intention of improving my knowledge, and services as a psychotherapist. They brought me personal development, lots of learning and gaining skills.
Nowadays I live in Argentina, working as an Online Psychotherapist for people from Latin America, and other countries.
I also offer Therapeutic Yoga practices in a yoga studio.
I began my professional journey working with people with disabilities. Today my main focus of work is oriented towards individuals and families going through different situations, like dealing with social vulnerability or mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal conflicts, among others.
My approach to psychotherapy is Integrative or holistic, I did a training in Gestalt-Systemic integrative model. Besides it, I blend elements from different approaches such as cognitive therapy, Mindfulness, humanistic therapy. I also take tools from informal meditation practices and from Yoga (philosophy and practice). I tailor the psychotherapies according to each person's needs.
Within the psychotherapeutic sessions we create a space for listening and openness without judgments, seeking the state of awareness, encouraging a change of perspective. We will form a team with the intention to accomplish your purposes and overcome your psychological problems, by finding sense and building a life worth living. It will be a path of self-discovery in which I will accompany you from a professional and respectful relationship. I will encourage you to let go of expectations, drop self-demands, and open up and trust. Trust in yourself, trust in me, trust the process, be patient with yourself, and respect your own pace.
​
Withal, I am a Therapeutic Yoga instructor, which has become a discipline of knowledge, and a way of seeing and living my life. I believe it gave me the possibility to be aware of the position we assume towards life, and also to understand life processes. Furthermore practicing Yoga brings me back to the present and lets me wind down.
Feel free to contact me for an introduction call if you are not sure about having therapy or you would like to know me before making a decision.
