I am Álvaro Chaves, a healthcare psychologist, and I view therapy as a space where you can pause, understand what is happening, and begin to recover what anxiety, fear, stress, or a difficult period may have been limiting.
To me, every person needs a treatment tailored to their story and their stage in life. That is why I work from an evidence-based perspective, integrating tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), without turning therapy into a set of techniques applied automatically.
My goal is not for you to learn to “not feel anxiety” or to avoid what worries you, but to help you understand what you are experiencing, develop resources to cope with it differently, and gradually rebuild a life that is meaningful to you.
Above all, I want you to find in therapy a place where you can feel listened to, understood, and supported without judgment.
