The questions we answer most often
Many parents seek therapeutic support when they notice their children showing intense fears (such as sleeping alone, going to school, or separation), social anxiety, difficulty managing frustration, frequent tantrums, high emotional sensitivity, or problems adapting to changes.
For adolescents and adults, therapy can be very helpful when there is constant stress, feelings of disconnection, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, or repetitive patterns in relationships.
At any stage of life, the therapeutic process promotes significant emotional and mental growth, strengthening emotional intelligence, self-compassion, and regulation skills.
For minors under 18, the first appointment usually takes place with the parents or caregivers. In it, we listen to the main concerns, explore the family history, and define therapeutic goals together.
If the patient is an adult, the first session is held directly with them, focusing on understanding their challenges and objectives.
This session lasts between 60 and 75 minutes and marks the start of a personalized treatment plan.
Although each person and family progresses at their own pace, most therapeutic processes last approximately 3 to 5 months.
During this time, improvements are usually seen in how children or adults relate, regulate their emotions, and face daily challenges.
In many cases, when families notice positive progress, they choose to continue therapy to further support their well-being or their children’s emotional development.
Sessions are generally held once a week, lasting 50 minutes, although the frequency can be adjusted according to needs.
Play therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy used primarily with children. Through play—their natural language—children can express emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop self-regulation skills.
At Feelings and Beyond, we use Synergetic Play Therapy™, an approach based on neuroscience and attachment theory, where the therapist supports the child through connection and emotional co-regulation, helping them understand and transform their inner world safely and compassionately.
Neuroscience studies how the brain works and how our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are connected. In our approach, understanding the brain is key to knowing why children, adolescents, and adults react the way they do to stress, fear, or frustration.
Relying on neuroscience allows us to identify what each person needs to self-regulate, feel safe, and restore emotional balance, especially in cases of anxiety, intense fears, or emotional overwhelm.
We use strategies that help the brain form new connections, promoting lasting emotional well-being.
Yes. At Feelings and Beyond, we firmly believe that parents are an essential part of the team supporting their children’s well-being.
Therefore, in addition to individual work with the child, we hold regular sessions with parents to share observations, progress, and practical strategies to support the process at home.
Our goal is to provide tools that last a lifetime, strengthening parent-child bonds and creating safer, more empathetic, and mindful relationships.
Yes. At Feelings and Beyond, we offer in-person sessions at our office, as well as virtual sessions for those who prefer or need the online format.
We also conduct workshops and conferences for parents, schools, and communities interested in mental health, emotional regulation, and family relationships.
Therapeutic connection is essential for the healing process. If you feel there isn’t a good connection, we encourage you to discuss it openly. Our team is committed to ensuring that every person—child, adolescent, or adult—feels safe and understood.
If needed, we can help you find another therapist within our team who is a better fit for your needs. The most important thing is that the therapeutic space feels genuine, empathetic, and trustworthy.
