Stefania Herrera Guzman

Psychotherapist

I'm a multicultural psychotherapist and clinical psychologist, deeply passionate about transforming lives through expressive therapies, trauma-informed care, and eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health.

About Me

As a multicultural psychotherapist, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals transform their lives. I offer a safe space to explore complex feelings through expressive therapies, finding unique paths to understanding and healing. My trauma-informed care provides a supportive environment. This approach is ideal for those navigating past experiences or wishing to move beyond mental health stigma. Together, we can connect with your inner resilience.

Approach

Healing often unfolds through creative rituals and honest curiosity, held with clinical clarity and cultural sensitivity. I work with adults, couples and groups in Amsterdam in English or Spanish, and offer online sessions for those further afield. Sessions shift between guided art exploration, focused skill-building, mindfulness and careful trauma processing—paced to your readiness with short practices or reflections between meetings. This way of working tends to help people facing addiction, relationship strain or past trauma find steadier ground and clearer choices.
