Welcome to My Practice

Hi, I’m Fernanda Espinosa, and I’m so pleased to welcome you here. As a psychoanalyst, clinical philosopher, and trauma-informed psychotherapist, my work is deeply rooted in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I am trained in Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry (CI) approach, which allows me to support clients in uncovering and addressing the root causes of their struggles. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, my methods are designed to empower you in your healing process and help you reconnect with your inner self. Together, we’ll create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and work toward meaningful personal growth. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and wholeness.

Psychoanalytic Therapy

 

Psychoanalytic therapy is a form of talk therapy rooted in the theories of Sigmund Freud and later developed by other psychoanalysts. It focuses on exploring the unconscious mind to uncover deep-seated emotions, thoughts, and memories that may influence behaviour and mental health. By examining past experiences, unresolved conflicts, and suppressed feelings, individuals can gain greater self-awareness and understanding of their current struggles. Typically, this therapeutic approach involves regular sessions where the client and therapist work collaboratively to identify patterns, develop insights, and foster emotional growth. Psychoanalytic therapy is often used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma, offering a pathway to long-term healing and personal transformation.

 

Compassionate Inquiry

 

Compassionate Inquiry is an approach to understanding and working through emotions, trauma, and inner conflicts with kindness and curiosity. Developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, it encourages individuals to explore their feelings in a safe and supportive environment, uncovering the root causes of emotional pain and unhealthy patterns. By gently peeling back layers of behaviour and beliefs, this method helps you gain clarity, heal from past experiences, and foster self-awareness. Compassionate Inquiry invites a deeper connection to yourself, empowering you to move forward with greater understanding and compassion.

Explore emotions with kindness, heal from trauma, and find clarity.

 

Clinical Philosophy

 

Clinical Philosophy is a unique approach that combines philosophical inquiry with therapeutic practices to address personal challenges, explore life’s deeper questions, and foster emotional well-being. Unlike traditional therapy, it draws from philosophical traditions to help individuals examine their beliefs, values, and assumptions, offering a path to clarity and self-understanding. By bridging philosophy and mental health, Clinical Philosophy empowers people to overcome past traumas, reclaim their mental health, and thrive. This method can provide profound insights into your life and guide you toward meaningful and fulfilling solutions.
