Hi

I am Melina Amestoy, a Person-Centered Approach Counselor based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I specialize in the approach developed by Carl Rogers, which emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and empathetic understanding of the client. My experience in this field has enabled me to develop the skills necessary to help people find solutions to their problems and improve their emotional well-being.

I currently work as a Counselor in a virtual practice, offering my services in Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese.

My mission is to support self-awareness and foster higher levels of consciousness.
