Psychologist Maria Argüello Pitt
Hello! I am María, Graduate in Psychology from the National University of Córdoba and Mindfulness Instructor certified by the Global Mindfulness Collaborative. My therapeutic approach is based on Contextual Therapies. I have training in ACT, DBT, FAP, CFT and MBCT therapies, which are a set of therapies that have evidence of being effective in improving various emotional and behavioral problems. Additionally, my training and practice in Mindfulness nourish and expand clinical work.
In the sessions, through dialogues and Mindfulness and Compassion practices, I invite you to explore with kindness one's own mind, body and heart, attending to the context and the unique needs of each person. My interests have focused mainly on accompanying people on topics related to: -stress management, anxiety, and other difficult emotions -chronic pain -agency processes in survivors of domestic violence gender. - Affirmation processes in genders and diversities.
I seek to offer a space in which people can pause, get to know themselves, encounter their discomfort with compassion, recognize their resources and generate changes in a meaningful direction. Each person is unique, and it is very valuable for me to share the space with those who have the generosity to open the doors of their lives, seeking to alleviate suffering and touch the wings of freedom.
Pili :) The possibility of expressing yourself freely is largely thanks to your trust in me and in the space... I am happy to know that there we were nurturing those qualities of warmth, compassion and care to get closer to that which hurt and that which provides love and spaciousness. I hug you!!
Like Agus, we have explored different approaches, with a lot of creativity and always according to what you need. I'm glad to know that I'm helping you, I can see many changes in you and that makes me happy. I am also immensely grateful for your dedication and for being able to witness your process.
Maru, it is a pleasure for me to see how your life unfolds in diverse and creative ways. Thank you for letting me accompany you in this process of intimate listening, emotional knowledge, and serene courage in living with pain. I think this last quality is so difficult for so many of us... And yet we have the possibility of contacting the forms of suffering without forcing or evading.
Cande, what beautiful and profound moments of listening and dialogue that we shared... I am happy to know that what we were nurturing is deep to the root. In my perspective, therapy does not "heal" or "cure", but rather it opens horizons where we stand. And I dare to say that everyone, regardless of circumstances, has the possibility of finding relief and freedom from pain and joy... I hope at this moment in your life it is.
Thanks Chiari! Those possibilities were already there in you... There is no one who knows more about your life than yourself, and as a therapist I helped you see your feelings, sensations and choices from another perspective... And sometimes that's what's transformative. A hug!
Just like Gaby, as if we had met from the first moment... It was very pleasant for me to accompany you, and I also learned a lot. From my place as “co-pilot” of the therapeutic journey, I remember some of our conversations about your desires and dreams, and many other self-compassion practices. Knowing you in a new stage makes me happy and excited.
Ana! :) We built that safe place together and also with the rest of the team and family who supported us... Accompanying you at that time of so many vital changes was very significant for me. I'm glad to know that there are still echoes of that process in you.
Thanks Guille! You have been doing incredible work, and it is very nice to witness that. I can see how you have been transforming different difficult experiences with a lot of openness, courage and loving kindness. I am also happy that we share different explorations in the mind - body - emotions relationship through yoga, dance and art therapy practices!
Thank you Juli for the trust and patience with which you share the therapeutic space. All those tools and virtues that you mentioned were already and are there in you, I just help you see them...
