Many of our clients choose to work in English because:

  • English is your first language, or the one you feel most yourself in.
  • You recently moved to Costa Rica and want support while you settle in.
  • You are part of a bilingual family or couple and want everyone to feel understood.
  • You want an online therapist licensed in Costa Rica who speaks your language.

Frequently asked questions

Are your psychologists licensed in Costa Rica?

Yes. Every psychologist on our team is registered with the Colegio de Profesionales en Psicología de Costa Rica, the national licensing body. Each profile shows their registration number, which you can check in the Colegio’s public directory.

Can I have therapy in English online?

Yes. We offer sessions in person at our office in Distrito Cuatro, San Rafael de Escazú, and online by video, so you can continue therapy wherever you are.

Do you work with health insurance?

We work with insurance by reimbursement only: you pay for your session and then claim it from your insurer. We help you complete your insurer’s form. Please confirm your policy’s mental health coverage before your first session.
