I am Lina Huertas, I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through their personal and emotional journeys. I feel very fortunate because I greatly enjoy providing psychological support.. I have a knack for listening, understanding processes, and intervening using a variety of resources to promote well-being and personal connection.
Let me tell you a little about myself: I was born into a Colombian-Spanish family, where two cultures coexisted. This mix sparked my interest in understanding how cultural exchange influences the construction of identity. Along with my own migration experiences, this led me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
I trained as a psychologist in Colombia, in a very practical program that allowed me to work with people from the early years of my career. Later, I expanded my studies and experience in Spain and the United States. I continue in ongoing training, especially in brief psychotherapy approaches, EMDR and body techniques in intervention.
Psychological care has always been my calling. Throughout my career, I have worked with people with very diverse backgrounds, from everyday difficulties to complex traumatic experiences. My professional journey, combined with my personal work and life experiences, has broadened my perspective and allows me to intervene with greater flexibility and depth, adapting to the needs of those I support.

I work from a integrative and humanistic approach, Paying attention to the whole person: their history, emotions, relationships, and how they relate to themselves, others, and the world. For me, generating a good relationship in the therapeutic process it is fundamental.
I intervene beyond conversation, using tools that allow access to other levels of understanding, such as images, metaphors, puppets, or visualizations. I also invite connect with the body through relaxation or more physical and movement-based activities. I also use EMDR, A particularly effective technique for addressing trauma. And I have recently been training in Core Energetics, a novel technique that combines body psychotherapy and personal growth.
Those who have worked with me often say that I generate a nearby and safe space, where they can express themselves without judgment, feel heard and supported, facilitating the expression of their emotions and stories, however difficult they may be. The sessions are adapted to each person and moment: they are dynamics, And often the changes begin to be felt in a short time.
I value people's processes, their learning in difficult situations, their ability to reflect on themselves, to get to know themselves better, and to connect with a more authentic part of their being.
If this approach resonates with you, and you're looking for a space to better understand yourself, connect with yourself, and make sense of what you've experienced, I'd be delighted to accompany you through that process.
