What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses in the here-and-now and explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings and emotions.

What is Compassion Focused Therapy?
Compassion refers to the human ability to perceive, compassionate and use self-compassion, to respond to the needs, pain, and difficulties of others. Compassion-Focused Therapy is a modern psychotherapy approach and is primarily used in the treatment of individuals who struggle with self-criticism, shame, low self-esteem, and other forms of psychopathology. It operates on the premise that cultivating self-compassion and compassion for others can have a profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. Although its properties are many, it has three main characteristics which are, mindfulness (mindfulness), i.e. observing the pain we feel without criticizing it, kindness (kindness), i.e. dealing with it self or others with love and care, and the sense of common humanity, i.e. the recognition that we are not alone in a difficult experience.
Integrative Therapy
The Integrative approach to psychotherapy treats the human psyche as a diverse and complex reality, recognizing that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Rather than being limited to a particular theory or technique, the synthetic approach combines elements from various therapies. The central idea is to adapt the therapeutic practice to the needs and characteristics of each individual, taking into account the various factors that influence mental health, thus allowing the flexibility and evolution of each individual.
