My approach
What is psycho-spiritual care?
You don't have to choose between mind, heart and spirit. Here we integrate them.
Psycho-spiritual care recognizes that we are integral beings: we think, feel, and search for meaning. It blends scientific rigor with deep respect for your spiritual life, whatever shape it takes. I won't ask you to believe anything in particular; I will invite you to look at your whole life.
Humanistic
Your experience, values and autonomy are central. No diagnosis defines you here.
02Spiritually sensitive
We make room for the big questions (meaning, purpose, transcendence) with respect, never imposition.
03Specialties
How I can help
I work with adults from age 20, in person in Cali or by video consultation anywhere in the world.
Couples therapy
Reclaim conversation, trust and closeness. Looking at each other again without fearing the next argument.
Anxiety
Quiet the mental noise, release the tension in your body, and feel you're back in control of your day.
Panic attacks
Understand what triggers them, stop fearing the next one, regain the freedom to go out, travel and sleep.
Depression
Get your energy back for what matters, reconnect with the people you love, feel life lighter again.
Sleep disorders
Sleep 7–8 straight hours again. Wake up with energy instead of fearing another sleepless night.
Meaning of life
Find the thread of your story. Make big decisions from clarity, not from fear or exhaustion.
Will we click?
A clear conversation before we start.
Therapy works best when there's real chemistry. Here's who I tend to work well with, and when it's better to look elsewhere.
I work especially well with you if…
- You're 20 or older and ready to look at your life honestly.
- You're looking for something deeper than "quick tips".
- You want therapy that respects (or doesn't) your spiritual life, never imposes.
- You want concrete outcomes: sleep, calmer mind, saved relationship, clearer next step.
- You value warm care with real clinical rigor.
I'm probably not your best fit if…
- You're looking for therapy for a minor (I'm glad to refer you).
- You need urgent psychiatric care or medication: please see a psychiatrist first; we can work in parallel.
- You expect me to tell you what to do without doing the inner work yourself.
Your first session
You'll walk out of your first session with three things.
So you know exactly what you're coming for (and what you're not).
- 01
A clear map of what's going on
No labels that box you in. You'll understand what's happening, why, and what's keeping it there.
- 02
A first plan
Realistic goals, suggested cadence, and how we'll know you're moving forward.
- 03
Something concrete to try this week
A small exercise, a question to sit with, or a tiny change that already makes a difference.
And if at any session you feel I'm not the right fit for you, I'll say it first or you can tell me: there's no pressure to continue.

What people say
Stories of transformation
“I came with anxiety that wouldn't let me sleep. Raquel helped me understand it, not fight it. In a few months I got my rest and confidence back.”
“We were on the edge of separating. Couples sessions with Raquel taught us to talk again. Today we're still together, and better than ever.”
“After a hard loss I felt directionless. With Raquel I found deep, professional and profoundly human accompaniment.”
“What I value most is her integral lens. I wasn't reduced to a diagnosis; I was seen as a person.”
FAQ
What people often ask before starting
No. Psycho-spiritual care respects your path, whatever it is. We don't start from specific beliefs; we start from you.
Evidence shows video therapy is as effective as in-person for most cases. I use secure, confidential platforms and many patients value doing it from home.
Every process is unique. Some focused matters take just a few weeks; others ask for a longer journey. You set the pace and the duration: in the first session we'll define a realistic horizon together, and we can always adjust it.
Payments are made before the session (transfer, Nequi, Daviplata, card). Everything in session is protected by professional confidentiality, with the legal exceptions (risk to self or others).
My practice is for adults from age 20. If you need a professional for a minor, write me and I can connect you with specialized colleagues.
You may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before the session at no cost. After that, a 50% fee applies.
