    I have had the opportunity to take individual and couples therapy and it has been a deeply positive experience. From the beginning, it made me feel in a safe space, without judgment and with total openness. Individually, it has helped me better understand my emotions, identify patterns I didn't see, and make decisions from a more conscious and calm place. Their way of accompanying is empathetic, but also clear and firm when necessary, which I value greatly. In couples therapy, it has been key in helping us communicate in a healthier way, really listen to each other, and build agreements based on respect. They don't take sides, but rather facilitate that both of us can express what we feel and understand each other better. They are a prepared, ethical, and very human professional. I totally recommend them to any person or couple who wants to work on themselves and their relationships in a deep and responsible way.

    My partner and I started couples therapy with Penelope during a really difficult time in our relationship, and she completely exceeded our expectations. From the very first session, she created a space where we both felt heard, supported, and understood. She’s incredibly insightful, compassionate, and skilled at helping you and your partner work through both the big issues and the subtle, underlying patterns. She's helped us communicate in ways we never had before and gave us tools that we still use every day. We’ve seen huge improvements in our relationship, not only in how we relate to each other, but also in our individual well-being. Penelope truly changed the course of our relationship and our personal growth, for the better. We owe being in a relationship today to her.

    Excellent psychologist, she helped me greatly during a difficult moment in my life. Thanks to her support, I was able to realize that I was in a relationship that wasn't good for me and learn to let it go. She also taught me how to set boundaries with my close family members, which has given me more peace and confidence in myself. I totally recommend her for her professionalism, empathy, and warmth.

    Dr. Penélope is warm and empathetic, you feel that she really listens to you and takes the time to understand your situation. From the first session, I felt in a safe and trusting space. I came to her after trying other psychologists, I was very disappointed and feeling that no one could help me with my panic attacks but we managed to stop them in two sessions and I am managing to identify thought patterns that limited me and also find the tools to manage my anxiety. Her approach is very human and has helped me see progress in a tangible way. It is an invaluable investment to feel peace and I am very grateful for her professionalism and dedication.

    I love the clarity and the way she breaks down and organizes problems is simply exceptional. I feel that she understands me and supports me. She not only helps me understand my thought patterns—as she calls them—but also gives me practical tools to change my routine and build something that keeps me well every day. Her work has been truly transformative for me. I decided to do therapy with her on a friend's recommendation and I was hesitant about having to do it online (I live in Monterrey) and I feel like she's the therapist I've grown the most with. I've been surprised how effective doing it online is. I'm managing to be more consistent than ever and connect with myself in any situation. A few days ago I had a panic attack on Sunday and she attended to me surprisingly quickly. In summary: very satisfied. It's difficult to find someone who makes you feel safe and supported in your worst moments.

    It's not easy to find someone who truly listens to you, without judging you, and who also confronts you intelligently to help you see what you hadn't seen before. Penélope has that natural way of doing it, and that's why each session with me feels valuable. Her support is empathetic and very human, but also clear and professional. With her I learned that moving forward depends not only on therapy, but on being willing to open up and question yourself. I greatly value her punctuality, follow-up, and above all, the sense of genuine understanding that she leaves me with in each session.

    I chose Penélope because she had several positive reviews on Doctoralia and I thought it would be worthwhile. The first session was adequate, but I noticed that she didn't ask for basic information, didn't explain her approach, and didn't take notes, showing little empathy and lack of attention. In the second session I felt uncomfortable: it lasted less than expected and ended abruptly in the middle of the conversation with a 'kisses, bye bye'. Additionally, she forgot the medications that I had mentioned in the first appointment, which reflected a lack of follow-up. Overall, the sessions lacked structure and felt improvised, more like chatting with a friend who knows about psychology than with a professional. For someone with major depression, the lack of empathy can make them feel more vulnerable. In Mexico, the practice of psychology is not well regulated, which allows some to work online very freely. It also seemed exploitative that she scheduled me for sessions for an entire year without barely knowing my case.

    Living for more than 28 years with agoraphobia, I went through more than 90 specialists including psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors. Nothing worked. Every hospital terrified me, every therapy was another wound. I traveled to different cities looking for a way out, but hope kept fading away. I reached a point where I decided to give up. I stopped fighting, accepted that that would be my life. More than 9 years passed without seeking help. Then I met Dr. Penélope. At first I doubted, I no longer believed in anything. But something about the way she treated me was different. In the first month, incredibly, I started to notice changes. Although at first I struggled to believe, her professionalism and warmth gave me what no one else did: real results. She gave me back hope. Today, I know that meeting her marked a before and after in my life.

    Working with Penelope has been different from any other therapy I've tried before. She has a very special gift for asking questions that, in a subtle but powerful way, completely change my perspective. Her sessions are focused and very efficient. In a short time I've had revelations that would have taken me months before. Her technique is really effective. After each session I feel lighter and with more clarity and strength to move forward.

    She is, by far, the best therapist I have ever been to. Extremely observant and astute, she detects ideas that one doesn't see they have. Her help is exactly what I need to get out of my personal echo chamber and better understand my problematic behaviors.

    Working with Penelope has been transformative for me. Her attentiveness and deep understanding have been especially helpful as I navigate issues around addiction, relationship challenges, and social anxiety. She offers thoughtful insights and fresh perspectives that empower me to make positive changes in my life. When discussing addiction, she approaches it without judgment, helping me understand my patterns and guiding me toward healthier choices. Her relationship advice is grounded and practical, allowing me to see things clearly and communicate more effectively. Social anxiety has always been a struggle for me, but her empathy and clear guidance have given me tools to build confidence and approach social situations with a calmer mindset. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with actionable advice, Penelope is absolutely invaluable. I completely recommend her.

    It has helped me so much since I started treatment with her. And the online format has helped me a lot because it can be complicated to schedule an appointment for therapy. Also as a couple's therapist, she has helped us tremendously. Definitely a great specialist.
