One-on-One Sessions

How do we work together?

“True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. “If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought.”
― Carl R. Rogers

Diagnosis

The first three sessions will focus on evaluating your current situation, including struggles but also your strengths and resources to overcome them. We will agree on how to work together, and the goals of treatment. Remember, the first session is always FREE!

Counseling or psychotherapy session

50-minute session. We begin with a mood check and setting the agenda, the topics that will be discussed during the session, we review homework if any, and any important event between sessions. In-session exercises, such as breathing or relaxation are also done. We always finish mentioning the highlights of the session and asking for feedback from the clients.

“Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, it is a difficult, sometimes painful road but once you start it, the way you see yourself, others and the world will be forever changed. Let me be your guide in this journey to become your better self “
– Maria de Lourdes Noboa, Psychologist

Happy Clients

I met María de Lourdes thanks to a support group. I had huge anxiety issues by that time. I started to take Cognitive behavioral therapy with her. From the first sessions I found Maria de Lourdes to be a sympathetic and kind person. At the same time, she was also determined and meticulous with her questions and homework for the therapy. She is a reliable person. I’m very happy to have found her. I don’t want to write a cliché, but I feel like a new person. That is because with her help we found my major issues and she taught me techniques/tools to reduce my anxiety significantly. I totally recommend her.

HE, 30 years old

My experience with Maria was and still is just amazing. She is a very knowledgeable person, she is calm, she listen, she was kind enough to volunteer and advocate for mental health awareness in an emotional support group her win Budapest, HIT BP. I not only was happily satisfied with her work as psychologist but also saw it the group members having the same feedback over and over again, it really worth to get your mental health checked and dive into psychology layers of self development with her.
