Hi, I'm Gisell Acosta
Clinical psychologist with a focus on contextual therapies.
I work so that you can relate differently to your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. In my practice I offer a space of active listening and warmth, with tools backed by scientific evidence, so you can move closer to what truly matters to you.
Every therapy process is unique. I believe in validating your emotions, breaking the loop of mental noise and building, step by step, a healthier relationship with yourself. You do not need a crisis to want to feel better.
I work with teenagers and adults, at my office in San Lorenzo and also online by video call.

Human empathyWarmth and connection
My approach embraces your complexity and your unique story.
I help you build a life that means something to you.
I work from contextual and cognitive behavioral therapies, with evidence-based tools: ACT, DBT and CBT. It is not about getting rid of what you feel, but about changing your relationship with it and taking action toward what matters to you.
Rigor brings the method. Warmth brings the space where you can be yourself, with no judgment.

A glimpse into my world.
What I share every week on @psicogisellacosta.
What people say after taking the step.
I came looking for calm and found a space where I can be myself, with no judgment. Every session is a breath of fresh air for the soul.
The support our son received was transformative. He learned tools for managing his emotions that he still uses every day.
I always thought therapy was only for moments of crisis. Now I understand it is an investment in my daily wellbeing. I recommend this space with all my heart.
