I’m Luis — Welcome.
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults in individual psychotherapy, grounded in a humanistic and transpersonal approach.
Sessions are offered in person or online and are shaped in a way that is responsive to your pace, your history, and what you feel needs attention at this moment. The therapeutic process is developed collaboratively, with care taken to ensure that the work remains coherent, ethical, and respectful of you as a person.
In my clinical work, I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches and tools, including therapeutic dialogue, mindfulness, guided meditation, the Tree of Life, music therapy, and elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, depending on what best supports each individual process.
I work with people who are navigating migration processes, including the emotional, identity-related, and relational challenges that often accompany them. I also support individuals going through life transitions, periods of crisis, grief, personal exploration, and moments when there is a need to pause, reflect, and find new ways of relating to oneself and to others.
I offer psychotherapy in Spanish, supporting Spanish-speaking and Latin American communities in Canada, and in English for those who prefer or require it.

Throughout the therapeutic process, I work with people who are navigating a range of life experiences and challenges. Some of the situations I can support you with include:
Beginning a therapeutic process does not require having clear answers or knowing exactly what you need right now.
Sometimes, the first step is simply having a place where you can begin to talk about what is happening, without pressure and without expectations.

Humanistic - Transpersonal - Contemplative - Music Therapy - CBT - Mindfulness
Sessions are offered in person and online.
Each session has a duration of approximately 50–60 minutes.
The fee per session is CAD $150.
The duration depends on your personal progress and the condition being treated.
My path toward psychotherapy has been shaped through professional training, clinical experience, and a personal journey that allowed me to encounter the therapeutic process also from the perspective of someone seeking support.
Since 2019, I have worked at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), collaborating within interdisciplinary teams in the field of mental health. This experience has contributed to a grounded and contextual understanding of human suffering, as well as to the importance of responsible and collaborative work within clinical settings.
My practice as a psychotherapist is informed by humanistic and transpersonal approaches, thoughtfully integrating contemporary perspectives with ancestral ways of knowing. This orientation aims to support people in their complexity, taking into account personal history as well as the social, cultural, and relational contexts in which their lives unfold.
Throughout my professional journey, I have participated in a range of therapeutic and formative spaces—both individual and group—which have influenced how I understand clinical work: as a careful, relational process that respects each person’s timing.
From a transpersonal perspective, I understand psychotherapy as a process that integrates mind, body, and inner life, recognizing that human experience extends beyond the cognitive or emotional alone. Therapeutic work may open spaces for greater awareness, connection, and meaning, while always respecting each person’s life context, history, and inner resources.

I completed my studies in Psychology at the Universidad del Valle de México.
During my professional training, I completed practicum experience in the area of Crime Prevention within the Public Security Department in Querétaro, Mexico, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.
In this context, I participated in psychological first aid interventions, emotional containment processes, and brief supportive work, as well as in the development of prevention strategies and community-based support initiatives. This experience contributed to an early understanding of psychological work in contexts of social vulnerability and crisis.

I completed studies in neuroscience, psychotherapy, and contemplative psychology at the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science, with training focused on the integration of contemplative practices into clinical work.
My training included a first year in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy in Barcelona, Spain, followed by a second year in Toronto, Canada, with an emphasis on Compassion-Based Psychotherapy and body-oriented work. This training strengthened an understanding of the therapeutic process that consciously integrates mental, emotional, and bodily experience in a grounded and contextual manner.
As part of this path, I facilitated mindfulness and meditation practices in educational and community settings, both in person and online, supporting a respectful and applied approach to contemplative practices across different environments.
I completed a Master’s Degree in Music Therapy at the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) in Spain, with training focused on the evidence-based clinical application of music within mental health settings.
My clinical practicum included supervised training and direct work in psychiatric contexts, including units at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. This experience strengthened my understanding of music therapy as an integrated therapeutic resource, in dialogue with other clinical approaches and within interdisciplinary frameworks.

I maintain an active professional practice through continuing education, participation in interdisciplinary clinical settings, and ongoing engagement with contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches.
Over the years, I have worked in contexts related to addictions, mental health, and integrative therapeutic practices, as well as in processes of clinical reflection and supervision that support a responsible practice and ongoing professional growth.

Depression can show up in different ways, including persistent sadness, emotional exhaustion, loss of interest in everyday activities, difficulty finding motivation, or a harsh inner dialogue toward oneself.
Each experience of depression is unique and is often connected to personal history, relationships, life transitions, and the emotional context a person is navigating.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to understand what you are experiencing, put words to your inner world, and be accompanied during this time with care, respect, and without judgment, at your own pace.

Difficulties related to patterns of use can take many forms, including substance use, compulsive behaviours, reliance on devices, gambling, eating behaviours, or other habits that gradually begin to create distress or challenges in personal, family, or relational life.
Each process is unique and is often connected to a person’s history, emotional experiences, learned ways of coping, and the broader context in which they live.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to explore these experiences with care, understand the role that use or consumption has played in your life, and support gradual, respectful processes of change toward a more conscious relationship with yourself and with others.

Anxiety can manifest in different ways and at various moments in life. At times, it may be experienced as persistent worry, inner restlessness, bodily tension, or difficulty resting and disconnecting.
The experience of anxiety involves not only thoughts, but also the body and the emotional system. Each person experiences it differently, in relation to their personal history, relationships, current context, and the demands they are facing.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to understand how anxiety shows up in your life, explore its possible roots, and support the development of a more conscious and regulated relationship with yourself, at a pace that respects your needs and inner resources.

Exploring an academic or professional path can feel complex, especially in a context shaped by multiple options, external expectations, and personal pressures. In these moments, confusion, doubt, or a sense of feeling stuck are common experiences.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to reflect on your interests, values, and current needs, to better understand the factors influencing your decisions, and to support you in shaping a path that feels meaningful to you, while respecting your timing and process.

The relationship a person has with themselves influences how they think, feel, and relate to others. When self-worth is affected, experiences such as persistent self-doubt, excessive self-criticism, or a harsh inner dialogue may emerge.
These experiences are often shaped over time and are closely connected to personal history, significant relationships, and the life contexts a person has navigated.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to explore these dynamics with care, understand how one’s relationship with oneself has developed, and support the cultivation of a more conscious, compassionate, and respectful way of relating to one’s own experience.

The spiritual dimension is part of the human experience for many people, whether as a search for meaning, a space for inner reflection, or a source of deeper questions about life, identity, and purpose.
At certain moments, this dimension may give rise to doubts, inner tensions, or the need for greater clarity—especially when intertwined with life experiences, personal changes, or periods of crisis.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to explore these questions in a respectful and non-dogmatic way, supporting personal reflection through careful listening and integration with each person’s emotional and lived experience.

Migration processes often involve much more than a change of country. They can bring profound transformations at emotional, identity-related, relational, and life levels. Adapting to a new culture, language, work environment, and social dynamics can generate feelings of disorientation, loneliness, grief, pressure, or inner exhaustion, even when the decision to migrate has been voluntary.
In this context, it is common for questions to arise around belonging, personal and professional identity, and one’s place within the new society, as well as challenges related to labour market integration, changes in family roles, or the process of building new networks of support and community.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to accompany these experiences, understand the emotional impact of migration, and support processes of adaptation in a careful and respectful way. From there, it becomes possible to integrate what has been lived, recognize personal resources, and gradually build more sustainable and meaningful ways of being in the new environment, without losing connection to one’s own history.

Grief is a deep and personal experience that can arise in response to different forms of change and separation: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the closing of a life chapter, the loss of a project, health changes, migration, or the fading of a familiar sense of identity. There is no single way to grieve, nor a fixed timeline for how this process should unfold.
Throughout a grieving process, intense and shifting emotions may appear, such as sadness, confusion, anger, guilt, emptiness, or emotional exhaustion. At times, these experiences can feel overwhelming or difficult to share with those around you.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to accompany grief with care and respect, allowing the experience to be named, understood, and held without judgment or expectations. From there, it may become possible to integrate what has been lived into one’s personal story and to gradually find ways of continuing life that feel more sustainable and meaningful, while honouring what has been important.

Relational difficulties often arise within the most significant connections in everyday life: with a partner, family members, friends, and also in the workplace, with managers, colleagues, or teams. Recurrent conflicts, communication difficulties, unspoken tensions, unclear boundaries, or a persistent sense of emotional strain can lead to distress and confusion.
In these situations, it is common to feel stuck in repeating dynamics, experience frustration, anger, or disconnection, or struggle to find ways of positioning oneself clearly and respectfully within relationships.
Psychotherapy can offer a space to work with these relational challenges in a practical way—looking at specific situations, understanding how certain interaction patterns develop, and exploring clearer and more supportive ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and relating to others, while keeping one’s own well-being in view.
