My name is Adela Iglesias. I am a psychotherapist based in Cuernavaca, a small town near Mexico City. I have been helping people work with their emotional issues and limiting self-conceptions for over thirty years. My training began in the field of psychoanalytical psychotherapy and then I went on to incorporate views that took into account both the body as well as the environment/system as essential factors to understand human behavior and the patterns that make us suffer. After having undergone a severe post-partum depression when my son was born, I had the good fortune to be referred to Judy Jones, an American psychotherapist specialized in the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of trauma. Working with her for over a year restored my sanity. She also gave me the opportunity to train as an EMDR therapist. This technique has since become the main tool I offer in the process of accompanying people to find their mental and emotional balance again.
my approach to therapy
I believe that psychotherapy is a process through which we can reconnect to our innate capacity to heal, finding a way to lead a satisfying life while accepting and dealing with the challenges, pains, and losses that living entails. Nobody knows more about us than ourselves, but in times of turmoil we need someone to accompany us and help us find the way out of the maze of habitual patterns that make us suffer needlessly. I see myself as a facilitator providing a safe space for exploration, to help you identify and clear obstacles, and to offer gentle guidance as you find your way back home.

TESTIMONIALS
Alexandra
30 years old
Working with Adela has completely transformed my life. She has helped me become confident in who I am as a person by supporting me in uncovering my deep-rooted family dynamics, and traumas from romantic relationships. Adela’s use of EMDR has been crucial in my positive growth, even though I was not sure it would benefit me at first. It is a tool that has helped me unlock the root cause of my insecurities and process my emotional reactions to my memories and thoughts. I highly recommend Adela as a therapist due to her immense knowledge in psychotherapy, and her ability to make you feel heard and understood.
