According to the American Psychological Association (APA) “Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between a person and the psychologist. Because its fundamental basis is dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral, and unbiased. You and the psychologist will work together to identify and change the patterns of thinking and behavior that are preventing you from feeling good.” “In psychotherapy, psychologists apply scientifically valid procedures for creating healthier and more effective habits. Psychotherapy has several methods such as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and other types of talk therapy that help solve problems.”
Francisco offers psychotherapy from the Cognitive Behavioral model for adults, people over 18 years old. Sessions can be conducted in person in providencia Chile or online by video call zoom.

Las primeras CUATRO sesiones de Psicoterapia son consideradas sesiones de entrevista diagnóstica para identificar los problemas del paciente y los tratamientos adecuados para resolverlos, y estas 4 sesiones iniciales no son consideradas sesiones de tratamiento. Las primeras tres sesiones son de evaluación y la cuarta para comunicar los resultados de la evaluación. En la cuarta sesión Francisco mencionará su recomendación del tratamiento(s) específico(s) que se requiera tomar para que puedas mejorar tu situación y se acordarán en conjunto los objetivos terapéuticos para el tratamiento. En caso de que el/la/le paciente presente indicadores de trastorno psicológico y/o psiquiátrico, se solicitará que el paciente asista en paralelo a consulta con médico psiquiatra, neurólogo u otro profesional de la salud. En algunos casos también puede que se solicite la realización de tests con Francisco Llantén para apoyar la evaluación diagnóstica, tales como el Test de Relaciones Objetales o el Test de Rorschach los cuales se pagan por separado.

DISCLAIMERS
The Psychotherapy service does NOT replace the medical, psychiatric or pharmacological diagnosis and treatment, and if necessary according to the diagnostic evaluation may be required in parallel. The Psychotherapy service should be performed in parallel to medical evaluations and medical and/or psychiatric treatments if necessary, being the patient responsible for compliance or non-compliance with medical/psychiatric indications and treatments. Although the evidence of psychotherapeutic treatments shows that they usually generate improvements and positive changes in psychotherapy patients, taking this service does NOT promise or guarantee the improvement of a particular situation, nor the change, improvement or cure of symptoms and / or mental disorder nor does it ensure a certain time for improvement since the problems of each patient are of different level of severity and complexity, and their process of improvement is unique and at its own pace. Sometimes the changes can occur only at the level of thoughts or beliefs, or it can be at the level of emotions, behaviors, habits or in the way of being and relating to others, and sometimes include all of these but at different levels of depth of change. Improvements in psychotherapy require the action of the patient and the motivation and application of tasks since it is the patient who generates the changes, being the psychotherapists facilitators and guide partners in that change.
