About me
Individual therapy:
With over 25 years of clinical experience and fluency in both English and Spanish, I am deeply committed to fostering personal and psychological growth by employing techniques from psychoanalysis, trauma therapy, and EMDR. I help individuals overcome their suffering, enhance their functionality, and lead happier, more fulfilled lives. My comprehensive training in psychology at UBA and my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the New School provide me with a multidimensional understanding of the human condition. This dual expertise enables me to approach therapy not only as a healing practice but also as an exploration of existential questions and life's broader meanings. I strive to foster a therapeutic space that promotes growth, understanding, and resilience, allowing clients to emerge stronger and more self-aware.
Couples therapy:
In my practice, I work extensively with couples, creating a constructive environment where partners can explore and enhance their relationships. I focus on fostering communication and emotional connection, helping partners navigate their relationships with empathy and flexibility.
Teaching:
I'm a professor and researcher at the Autonomous University of Entre Ríos (UADER). I've published extensively, including books and research papers, in both English and Spanish (you can check my Google Scholar author page). I also create videos for my YouTube channel, explaining basic concepts in philosophy, psychology, and psychoanalysis (in Spanish). You can find my channel, which has over 100,000 subscribers, at https://youtube.com/gusfai

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Lacanian PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore the unconscious mind through the lens of language and desire, focusing on understanding deeper motivations.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep understanding of psychoanalysis, enriched by modern techniques such as EMDR and trauma-informed care. I believe in treating each client as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. This holistic perspective is informed by my background in philosophy, allowing me to integrate existential and ethical dimensions into our sessions. My work is characterized by a blend of scientific rigor and a personalized approach, ensuring that each client's experience is respected and valued. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, and find paths to healing and growth.
