MARÍA JULIETA CORDERO – PSYCHOANALYST

Welcome to my psychoanalytic practice nestled in the vibrant city of Vancouver, Canada.

Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.

In our sessions, you aren’t just a “patient”; rather you’re an active participant in your own analysis.

I honour my homeland: Caracas, extending over the valleys of Waraira Repano (El Ávila) Mount.

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”

I honour the land where I live today: ancestral, traditional and unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.

therapeutic relationship

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

What truly distinguishes me as a psychoanalyst is my commitment to a comprehensive approach:

I’m here to accompany you through an authentic and profound inquiry of your distress, tracing it back to its origins.

Buddhist Guidance

As an engaged Buddhist practitioner, I offer a cycle of 10 sessions that employ Buddhist principles and ethics to understand present challenges. While these sessions have a declared psychotherapeutic intent, that is alleviating psychological pain and its consequences, they are framed in the tradition of the kalyanamitra (spiritual guidance, companionship, admirable friendship) that aims at comprehending the strength of the Buddhadharma in our present lives.
Sessions are weekly either in-person or online, in English or Spanish.

• Buddhist Guidance sessions for individuals or relationships (i.e. couples): C$60 CAD / 60 minutes

Trained in the New Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis in Caracas and the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis in Madrid, both within the World Association of Psychoanalysis, I’m further registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
In my psychoanalytic practice I adhere to the Ethics of Psychoanalysis and follow the Code of Ethics set forth by the CCPA.
Based in Vancouver, BC the practice is open both in-person and online, in English and Spanish.
Additionally, in the past I’ve engaged with Vancouver Downtown East Side community as an Addictions Counsellor and currently with the Toronto Centre for Applied Buddhism as a Buddhist Counsellor specialising in grief.
