About me

Hello! I’m Bernardita García, a Psychologist from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.

My therapeutic approach provides a safe, trusting, and judgment-free space where you can explore your ideas, concerns, and experiences. I combine a practical focus, drawing from DBT-based tools to help you develop concrete skills, with a psychoanalytic perspective that allows you to understand yourself in greater depth. This integration supports you in connecting with your desires, crafting them into reality, and moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy can also be a place for warmth and lightness. I value a sense of humor and the possibility of laughing at ourselves from time to time, as part of creating a space of trust where growth feels genuine and sustainable.

I am committed to continuous learning, deepening my knowledge through ongoing study and participation in weekly supervision groups with fellow psychologists, where we review clinical cases in a confidential and anonymous way. This ongoing practice enriches the therapeutic space and helps me provide thoughtful and well-grounded support.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
DBT: Dialectical behaviour therapyRecommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

My therapeutic approach is designed to support you in your journey of self-discovery, helping you connect with your desires and craft them into reality. Whether you are embarking on a new venture or seeking growth in your personal and professional life, therapy is a space to unlock your potential and transform your ideas into action.

I combine a practical focus, drawing from DBT-based tools to develop concrete skills, with a psychoanalytic perspective that allows you to understand yourself in greater depth. This dual approach helps to overcome internal obstacles, broaden your vision, and strengthen your creative drive, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence in every step you take.

To enrich the therapeutic process, I also participate in weekly supervision groups where I confidentially and anonymously discuss patient cases with fellow colleagues. This ongoing exchange supports me in providing you with a thoughtful, dynamic, and well-grounded therapeutic space.
