ABOUT ME
Marienna Santiago Toro
I am a psychologist by vocation. I am passionate about discovering that people’s problems are challenges that can be overcome in life, in order to enjoy better mental health, greater well-being and a more fulfilling life.
I believe in human beings as generators of change and personal growth.

MY WAY OF WORKING
My Approach
My approach is integrative, drawing on several schools of psychology such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, third-generation therapies, systemic therapy, psychoanalysis and more.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL PSYCHOLOGY
An approach focused on how thoughts, emotions and behaviours are interconnected. It focuses on identifying and changing negative and harmful thought and behaviour patterns.
EMDR
A therapy focused on the treatment of trauma and difficult experiences. Through bilateral stimulation and work with memories, it allows blocked emotions to be processed and reduces the psychological impact of painful situations from the past.
THIRD-GENERATION THERAPY
This includes modern therapeutic models such as mindfulness or acceptance and commitment therapy. It focuses on developing a healthier relationship with thoughts and emotions, promoting psychological flexibility and well-being.
SYSTEMIC THERAPY
This approach addresses psychological problems by taking into account the person’s context and relationships, especially within the family or couple. It helps to understand how relational dynamics influence emotional well-being and to promote positive change.
PSYCHOANALYSIS
A therapeutic approach that explores the unconscious processes that influence our thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Through therapeutic dialogue, it helps to understand internal conflicts and patterns that affect everyday life.
