I provide strengths-based support focused on the whole person. From overcoming personal and professional obstacles to achieving optimal health and well-being.
If you are thinking about starting therapy, you may have doubts and feel nervous about the process. I recognize the courage it takes to take this path, so I create a safe space for you to feel comfortable talking about all your experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative act and, in addition to finding relief from your symptoms, it is an opportunity to learn about yourself and even find meaning behind your struggles.
Our physical, mental, emotional and social well-being are intertwined and influence each other. I offer a comprehensive approach to wellness that promotes the interconnections between the different facets of our health. It implies that to achieve true well-being, we must consider and foster these connections.
Therapy can help you improve your relationships, improve your communication skills, manage anxiety, and be more present in your life. I am a professional with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families who want to improve their relationships, value themselves, and live a fuller life.
Are apprentices forever. Lifelong learning goes beyond the acquisition of certifications or degrees; It embodies a continuous search for knowledge and personal improvement. Our journey is our best teacher; I embody what it means to be curious, open-minded, and growth-oriented so that we can continually evolve and inspire others to do the same.
Therapy is an investment in yourself, your life, and your relationships.
I intertwine different therapeutic modalities in my work depending on the needs and personality of each person. I use a collaborative approach based on our strengths, which will help you develop your natural resilience.
Finding a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with is an extremely important part. I will make this process as friendly as possible for you. Call me; I would love to talk to you and learn more about who you are and what you would like to focus your therapy on.
Services
- Psychiatric diagnostic evaluations and psychodiagnosis
They are an instrument of high prognostic value, especially with regard to initiating psychopharmacological treatment and the recommendation or contraindication of brief psychotherapy. The devolutive interview is very important in this process.
- Consultations for second opinions
I offer second opinion consultations for patients and medical colleagues who are interested in reviewing a case. This may be especially useful in circumstances of diagnostic ambiguity or when treatment has stalled due to inadequate symptom relief.
- Brief focal psychotherapy
This type of psychotherapy has the objective of changing certain aspects or areas of conflict on which the therapeutic effort of the patient and therapist is focused, with a time limitation that can be up to approximately one year. It is indicated in disorders of recent onset in neurotic patients, or if it is an acute episode within a chronic personality disorder. The patient's motivation is important in the desire to understand what is happening to them, a certain capacity for self-observation, with a willingness to try and experience changes.
- Long-term psychotherapy
Long-term psychotherapy for patients who may benefit from such treatment. These people may have chronic difficulties forming and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and tolerating disappointment or frustration. They may be prone to extreme emptiness, loneliness, debilitating shame, and experience significant fluctuations in self-esteem and chronic difficulties in the workplace. The interpersonal and emotional experience co-created by patient and therapist can lead to reduced symptoms and improved functioning over time.
- Online therapy (video call)
Video call appointments for patients using technology. All you need to meet with me virtually from the comfort of your home or office is high-speed Internet, a webcam, and a modern web browser.
“Excellent professional, dedicated, efficient and approachable. I highly recommend Francisco for his invaluable help, professionalism and human quality. Without a doubt, your support has been of great help to me and at all times I have felt very well cared for. Thank you very much for your invaluable help.”
“I found in Dr. Pastoriza's office a place to understand what worries me. He has an honest look and I feel very comfortable with him. Thanks to Dr. Pastoriza I am making a lot of progress without forgetting my own effort. Honestly, highly recommended.”
“I've been with him for two years and my life has taken a 180 degree turn. I came to his office with a lot of anxiety, I couldn't go almost anywhere and today I can say that I lead a completely normal life. Thank you Francisco for your good work, for your talks, for the tranquility you transmit. 100% recommended.”
