About

Isaac Osorio · Cartagena, Colombia

A space to hear what has not yet been said.

I am a clinical psychologist with a psychoanalytic orientation. I work with adults, couples, and families going through periods of distress, difficult transitions, or questions about themselves that everyday life does not answer.

My work has taken place in clinical and institutional settings, accompanying situations of crisis, anxiety and mood disorders, difficulties in relationships, processes of grief, and questions about personality and the meaning of one's own life.

Alongside private practice, I remain actively engaged in teaching, research, and clinical supervision.

Background

Approach

What does a psychoanalytic accompaniment mean?

Psychoanalysis begins with a simple idea: what causes us to suffer usually says something we have not yet been able to hear. Therapy is a space to put into words what keeps repeating itself — in our relationships, in our symptoms, in our decisions — to begin to understand it, and to do something with it.

I don't work with formulas or with quick techniques for eliminating symptoms. Anxiety, sadness, conflicts with others, difficulty making decisions — these are not flaws to be corrected. They are messages worth reading. Sometimes with calm, sometimes with discomfort, always with respect for each person's own pace and history.

What I offer is a space of sustained, confidential listening, where what you bring can be spoken and thought about unhurriedly. That is the invitation: to understand how, why, and to what end something keeps repeating itself in your life, and to build your own ways of continuing along the path.

FAQ

Before you begin.

I've never been to therapy. Where do I start?

Just reaching out — however feels easiest — is enough. The first session exists precisely for this: to hear what brings you in, to meet each other, to answer any questions you may have, and to decide, without pressure, whether you'd like to begin.

How long does a process last?

It depends on each person. Some processes are brief and centered on a specific situation; others unfold over more time, as the work opens up new layers. This isn't decided in advance — it's something we look at along the way, and the process can be brought to a close at any point.

Does online therapy work as well as in-person?

Yes. Many processes are carried entirely online without difficulty, with the same conditions of attentive listening, confidentiality, and presence, even at a distance.

Is everything we talk about confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is protected by the psychologist's code of ethics (Agreement No. 17 of May 7, 2019) and by Colombian law (Law 1090 of 2006). It is lifted only under the strict exceptions the law provides for (serious risk to your own life or to that of others).

Do you work with EPS or private health insurance?

The practice is private. At this time I am not affiliated with any EPS or private health insurance provider.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance are not charged. Within that window, the full session fee applies, except in unforeseen circumstances, which we talk through case by case.
