About me

Hello, I’m María, a General Health Psychologist and psychotherapist. For ten years, I worked in the corporate world, supporting professionals and teams in their development. In 2021, I decided to focus on what I find most meaningful: helping people navigate life transitions and personal challenges.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic perspectives to meet each person’s individual needs and create a tailored therapeutic process. My work is grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy, with a strong systemic orientation, and incorporates trauma and attachment theories, mindfulness and self-compassion. Throughout, I maintain an awareness of gender and cultural context.

If you’re considering therapy, this can be a space to make sense of what you’re experiencing and to discover new ways to act, think, feel and connect with others.

María Lozano★★★★★

Her support has been fundamental in overcoming personal challenges and has helped me grow in countless ways. Professional, empathetic and dedicated, María always brings a valuable perspective.”
Kateryn Garzón★★★★★
“I found María through a recommendation from someone very close to me. I had seen such a positive change in her life that I knew it was time for me to do the same. María listens and guides you with admirable ease. From the first session, we identified areas to work on, and I have felt closer to my goals ever since.”
Samuel de la Mata★★★★★
“I met María at a point when my life had collapsed, after years of feeling lost and dealing with depression. In less than a year, my life had changed completely: the clouds cleared and light appeared on the path ahead. I will always be grateful for her support through such difficult times and for giving me the momentum to finally take control of my life.”

Maria M.★★★★★
“I have been seeing María for almost a year, and the change has been enormous. I arrived with considerable anxiety and, from the beginning, felt that she understood what I was going through.

Pedro Arteaga★★★★★
“After trying several other forms of therapy, I found María almost by chance. I felt comfortable from the beginning, which I had not managed with previous therapists. She is warm, clear and has a special ability to help you see things from another perspective. It has marked a real turning point for me.”
