Deshane Gutierrez Lopez, Clinical Psychologist in Belize

You are tired of being frustrated with yourself and want to enjoy what you’ve worked so hard for.  You are aware that your anxiety is because of your past pains, however, you know you can't continue this way. You want to heal. You want a plan that helps you understand how to get you from knowing you are worthy to feeling worthiness. You’re seeking someone that you can trust to share it with, where you don’t have to worry about your challenges being repeated,  someone that actually understands and listens to you. You are ready for alignment.

Let me tell you how I will help

I help driven clients who are tired of being frustrated, and who want to enjoy what they have worked so hard for so that their anxiety doesn't control them because of their past.  My clients learn how to handle their emotions by becoming friends with their emotions whilst learning to love themselves. They do this by going back to past painful memories and releasing those pain.  There won't be any worksheets but there will be humor, music, brain demonstration, and an understanding of your why. You'll probably find me in the office barefoot as I like to be comfortable in the room.

For over 8 years I have worked with clients who have anxiety, trauma, sexual trauma, and self-esteem issues. My clients typically come to see me weekly so that they have consistent support and move out of crisis mode so that they are in control of their emotions before going back to the root of their pain so that they don’t need to be triggered by it. My clients often like to say it’s like you used to have to compartmentalize everything to get things done but now you don’t need to because there won’t be anything to hide from. You remember what happened but know that at this moment you are safe.
