Everything takes more out of you
Getting up, showering, answering messages, working, or handling simple things can feel disproportionately hard.

Depression Therapy in San Luis Potosí
Depression doesn't always feel like sadness. Sometimes it feels like doing everything on an empty tank.
If you've lost energy, interest, or connection to things that used to be part of your life, we can start by understanding what you're going through and what you need right now.
Recognizing it
You don't have to feel sad all the time to notice that something has changed.
Some people describe sadness. Others talk more about exhaustion, emptiness, disconnection, or simply not feeling like themselves anymore.
01
Activities you used to enjoy now hold little interest for you or take too much effort.
02
Starting your day, concentrating, or finishing tasks you used to handle easily has become hard.
03
You sleep a lot more or a lot less, but you still don't feel like you're getting your energy back.
04
You feel sadness, emptiness, irritability, or a kind of emotional disconnection.
05
You're isolating yourself or responding less and less to people who used to matter to you.
06
Thoughts of guilt, hopelessness, or feeling like a burden have shown up.
It can show up in different ways
Depression can show up in more than one part of your life.
That's why I don't work from a symptom checklist alone. We also need to understand how it's changed the way you live, relate to others, and see yourself.
What used to matter doesn't feel the same
You may keep doing some of the same things, but without the interest, enthusiasm, or connection they used to have.
The way you see yourself can turn harder
Guilt, self-criticism, hopelessness, or the sense that nothing you do is enough can show up.
Being around other people can feel heavy too
You may start canceling plans, answering less, or pulling away, even from people who still matter to you.
If you're in crisis right now
A scheduled appointment is not a substitute for immediate care when your safety is at risk.
If you're seriously thinking about harming yourself, you have a plan to do so, you've made an attempt, or you feel you can't keep yourself safe, get immediate help.
My approach
I don't just look at how you feel. I also look at where you're living it.
Your history, your relationships, and the moment you're in are all part of the process.
I work from a systemic approach. That means I try to understand what you're going through within the context of your life, rather than looking at each symptom in isolation.
A loss, a relationship, a life transition, family issues, a work situation, or past experiences can all be part of what we need to look at.
We also explore the patterns that show up in how you talk to yourself, how you ask for support, relate to others, or respond when everything starts to feel like too much.
Some sessions need more room to understand and put into words what you're going through. In others we can work on small steps to start reconnecting with parts of your life that matter.
You don't need to show up with energy to do this work. We can start exactly where you are.
How we start
The first goal isn't to ask more of you. It's to understand what's going on.
The process adapts to each person, but we usually begin with three steps.
-
01
We look at how you're doing
We go over how long you've felt this way, what's changed, and how your energy, sleep, relationships, and daily life are affected.
-
02
We understand the context
We explore events, relationships, and patterns that may be connected to what you're going through.
-
03
We build possible next steps
We look for small, realistic moves you can actually sustain, instead of asking you to transform your whole life at once.
In session
You don't have to arrive knowing what to say.
In the first session I'll ask questions to better understand what you're going through, but it's not a test and you don't need to prepare a perfect explanation.
We can also talk directly about your safety and about any thoughts of harming yourself, if they've come up. Asking about it is part of taking care of the process, not judging you.
Some sessions you'll have a lot to say, and in others it may be hard to even find words. Both can be part of the work.

During the process
What we can work on
There's no outcome or number of sessions that can be guaranteed. We can define concrete goals and review how the process is going.
01
Better understand what's connected to the changes you've been experiencing.
02
Identify patterns of isolation, self-criticism, or disconnection that show up when you feel worse.
03
Gradually reconnect with activities, people, and parts of your life that still matter.
04
Build different ways of responding to thoughts that are especially hard on yourself.
05
Recognize signs that you're heading into a harder period and ask for support sooner.
06
Strengthen resources and relationships that can be part of your support network.
When more support is needed
Psychotherapy and medical care aren't opposite paths.
Depression can involve psychological, social, and biological factors. That's why, depending on your situation, treatment may call for more than one kind of support.
As a psychologist I don't prescribe medication. If, during the process, I think the intensity of your symptoms, the level of risk, or other factors make a medical or psychiatric evaluation advisable, I'll explain that clearly.
Psychotherapy
Can be a core part of treatment.
The psychological process lets us work on thoughts, relationships, patterns, coping, and life context.
Psychiatry
Can complement the process when indicated.
A medical evaluation can determine whether medication or other specialized care is indicated.
Safety
Always comes first.
If risk of self-harm comes up, the level of care you need may be different from a scheduled session.

Frequently asked questions about depression therapy
How do I know if I have depression or I'm just going through a hard time?
You don't need to arrive at your first session with that answer already worked out.
We can look at how long you've felt this way, what changes you've noticed, how much it's interfering with your daily life, and what other factors might be related.
If an additional evaluation is needed, we can talk about that too.
Do I have to be doing really badly to start therapy?
No. You don't need to wait for a crisis to ask for support.
If you've noticed persistent changes in your mood, energy, interest, sleep, relationships, or day-to-day functioning, there's already something worth exploring.
Do I need medication for depression?
It depends on the case.
As a psychologist, I don't prescribe medication. If, during the process, I think a medical or psychiatric evaluation would be advisable, I'll explain that to you.
Psychotherapy and medical treatment can be part of the same process when it's clinically indicated.
How long does it take to feel a change?
There's no timeline that can be guaranteed.
How long it takes and how it unfolds depends on factors like how long you've been feeling this way, the intensity of your symptoms, your current situation, and your goals.
We review the process periodically instead of working toward a fixed, predetermined number of sessions.
What if I don't even have the energy to go to therapy?
We can talk about that. The fact that showing up feels hard can itself be important information about how you're feeling.
If coming in person becomes too difficult, we can look at whether working online is a good fit for you.
Is the first session a formal evaluation?
It's a clinical conversation, not a test.
I'll ask you questions to understand your situation, but you don't need to prepare or explain what you're feeling in clinical terms.
Can I do therapy online?
Yes. I offer in-person sessions in San Luis Potosí and online psychotherapy.
How much does a session cost?
Individual therapy in Spanish costs $500 MXN per session.
Individual sessions conducted in English cost $800 MXN per session.
