Hello! I am Cristina Hugo, clinical psychologist graduated from Universidad San Francisco de Quito. Let me share with you my passion and experience in the field of psychology, as well as my therapeutic approaches and core values.
I specialize in emotion-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and humanistic therapy, providing my patients with a unique combination of approaches backed by scientific evidence. In addition, I obtained a master’s degree in Third Generation Therapies at the International University of Valencia, where I developed a holistic and integral approach to mental health and wellbeing. This training has provided me with a wide range of effective interventions and strategies that I apply in my clinical practice.
My purpose in psychology is clear: to accompany and support people in finding their own voice, overcoming their wounds, facing their fears and reaching their full potential. During my professional career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations and issues. I have met highly resilient, inspiring and courageous people who, despite living in vulnerable situations, have moved forward. I have also had the honor of accompanying women survivors of different forms of violence, providing individual and group interventions focused on empowerment and healing.
In addition, I have developed health projects aimed at improving the quality of life of patients with orphan diseases, offering specialized care and support services. I have participated in projects for the prevention of mental health problems and the promotion of wellbeing, both in public and private settings, aimed at adolescents and health professionals.
In my professional practice, I provide individual, group and family psychological care, tailored to the specific needs of each of my clients. As a clinical psychologist, I consider it fundamental to base my work on six values: trust, integrity, professionalism, authenticity, compassion and creativity. My main goal is to establish a safe and trustworthy environment for my clients throughout their therapeutic process.
I use a variety of therapeutic tools and approaches supported by scientific evidence that promote emotional healing, change and transformation. My primary goal is to help my clients and patients overcome their emotional challenges and improve their overall wellbeing, so that they can live a full and satisfying life.
To provide highly personalized, quality mental health services to help my clients and patients overcome their emotional challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.

I work with each of my clients and patients on an individualized basis, tailoring my therapeutic approach to their needs and goals. To do so, I use different tools and therapeutic approaches based on scientific evidence, which promote change, transformation and healing.
