Augusto Blanco - Process Based Therapy (Telehealth)

Hello, I'm a Clinical Psychologist who has a background in Gender Studies and Process Based Therapy. I've been working with LGBTQ+ people since I started practicing.

What I've found is that usually, one goes through life without a strong sense of self or a complete acceptance of who one is. Some people still feel confusion and a sense of being lost when it comes to properly understanding who they are/who they are not. This is most often the result of growing up in a neglectful, or even hostile environment that taught the person early on to feel rejection, isolation and shame.

What we do in my therapy, is to reconstruct your history to understand why things are the way they are now, how it all ties together, and where to apply pressure to create a new, better version of that history that aligns with the facts and is more empowering and positive than the previous one.

At the same time, we help you stabilize your current position so that we have a foundation on which to rely before doing that deeper kind of work. This involves defusing panic attacks and teaching you how to emotionally and physically regulate yourself, decrease consumption of addictive substances, decrease procrastination, and stabilize your sleep schedule, among other things.

Finally, we work towards the future, goal setting and creating values that best allign with who you want to be and learn how to actively pursue that.

Some people only want to stabilize their present and can go from there, while others have made peace with their past and only want to build up their future. My work fits what the person wants. So if you want to start working or want to ask about a particular thing, shoot me a message and I'll get back to you within the day.
