Mr Ivan Cervantes Rascon

CBT Psychotherapist

“I am a bilingual psychotherapist (English and Spanish) graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. I focus on depression, anxiety, grief, and suicidal ideation disorders. My clinical practice is based on the ethical principles that regulate psychology in Mexico: professional and scientific commitment.”

About Me

I guide individuals through the challenging experiences of depression, anxiety, and grief, including suicidal ideation. Offering support in English or Spanish, we’ll use practical CBT strategies to manage difficult feelings and find a path forward. My practice is deeply committed to your well-being, applying sound, evidence-based principles. This structured approach helps you understand and address concerns, fostering stability.

Approach

Sessions move between structured assessment and collaborative skill-building, using clear, measured steps to track mood, identify patterns, and practice brief exercises for low mood, worry, loss, or suicidal thoughts. From my office in Oaxaca or via secure online sessions in English or Spanish, we keep work focused and paced to what feels manageable. Between meetings you’ll try short, practical tasks and reflections that connect to weekly goals; I’ll review progress and adjust what’s most helpful. This approach suits adults seeking steady, evidence-based support during difficult periods.
