At Sirena Psychotherapy I help individuals, couples and families who are in a season in their lives where they want to start living authentically by examining their past, to achieve freedom in their present and procure a better future.
Individual Therapy
I will help you understand and accept your internal world through our relationship; helping you respond authentically, freely and creatively in relationship to yourself and people around you.
Couples Therapy
Intimate Relationships often highlight our traumatic history and make us surface unconscious patterns. I help couples make the unconscious conscious, to connect with partners from their present most authentic version. I want to help you transform the pain from the past, into resilience in your present and future.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
Trauma is stored in the body. EMDR helps you recalibrate the nervous system to process your traumatic experiences in a safe and contained environment. We use somatic practices and bilateral stimulation (left and right eye movements, tapping or sounds) to metabolise the traumatic memories.
I approach EMDR with my own twist. I take a compassionate, attachment-based approach to tailor this protocol’s base modality for your unique necessities. Traditional EMDR might feel inflexible, or even triggering for individuals with complex trauma. I honor and prioritize your uniqueness, and focus on building resources and safety in the relationship before jumping into processing traumatic memories.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine is an FDA approved dissociative psychedelic that helps your brain regain neuroplasticity and a long-lasting feeling of safety. Helping you maintain freedom and relief from trauma responses.
How do I know KAP is for me?
We develop understandable defenses to protect from the consequences of trauma. Ketamine safely and gently helps these defenses take a break in your internal system, for you to connect to exiled or buried parts of yourself that carry the trauma.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is different from other Ketamine therapies, we are partaking in a journey with preparation and integration sessions and I will be swimming alongside you, in every step of this journey, enhancing the relational piece, which is key for a transformative experience. We will also work closely with a fellow Colombian licensed psychiatrist to monitor the treatment
If you are ready to go deeper into your healing journey, or feel stuck or hoping for more impact in your healing journey, KAP might be the ideal therapeutic modality for you.
