A safe space

to achieve your emotional
well-being

Hi!

I'm Peggy Monterroso.

I have worked as a psychotherapist in Costa Rica for 9 years both in
institutions and privately. During this period I worked 3 years focused mostly with children, then with teenagers for the next 3 years. And in recent years I have kept working with children and teenagers but also with adults.

My goal is to create a safe place. A place of hope, connection, and
transformation to work on your emotional health, with the intention that your goals are met.

I speak both English and Spanish. I was born in the United States and lived there until I was 11 years old, then I moved to Costa Rica where my parents are from. I currently live in Malmö Sweden.

Services

Each of the therapy approaches I work with, help me take a more holistic approach to support your well-being.

EMDR

It makes it possible to access traumatic memory networks in our brain, facilitating information processing to be transformed by building new associations between traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information; facilitating the elimination of emotional discomfort.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

This approach focuses on how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions have an impact on the person and their environment. It focuses on the problems and difficulties of the “here and now”.

Therapy Focused on Emotions

It is based on attachment theory and recognizes the important role of emotions in how we relate to others. Through this approach, people are helped to experience and share their emotions and basic emotional needs, to structure new interactions and to build more secure bonds.

Testimonials

Each of the therapy approaches I work with, help me take a more holistic approach to support your well-being.

When I started therapy sessions with Peggy, I was in a mental knot. As we progressed in therapy, we found a safe place where I was acquiring tools to continue progressing in my emotional health. I really like her treatment, she listens, she is understanding and empathetic, but at the same time she hits the point that needs to be worked on (even if it’s not what I want to hear). I confess that it is not always easy for me to work through these issues, but I am encouraged to know that Peggy gives me the necessary guidance to overcome them.

With Peggy I have learned a lot. She taught me to manage my emotions. Helped me feel better with myself and gradually get out of the depression I was in. Now I know what to do when I feel bad and how to handle my irrational thoughts.
