«Life is a choice between fear and love.» – Steven Hayes
If I had to describe myself in three words, I would choose: human, learner and creative, I like to think that I am in a constant state of construction and discovery. My heart finds its rhythm in the music that moves me, the food that embraces me, the art that inspires me, the collages that mess me up and reconstruct me, books, anime, travel, and all those little things that give life color.
My fascination with psychology stems from an intense desire to understand human behavior and help others build a life worth living. The heart of my work is to teach you how to reduce the impact and influence of painful thoughts and feelings while also taking steps to build a rich and meaningful life. The therapy I teach is primarily contextual, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I'm Celin, but you can call me LinI'm here to accompany you on your journey.
I offer my services in Spanish and English.
