Carmen León
- Psychotherapist
I have a background in neuroscience and work with parents who want to understand and heal the patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and their children.
My work integrates Compassionate Inquiry with my background in neuroscience and a body-centered understanding of trauma and relational healing. I support clients in exploring how early relational experiences continue to live on in the nervous system, shaping present-day emotions, behaviours, and patterns of protection and disconnection.
Through a compassionate, body-centered approach, I help clients explore the emotions, beliefs, and bodily experiences beneath these patterns, creating space for greater awareness, regulation, and choice.
I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in movement and neuroscience, and have over a decade of experience in neuroscience research and teaching. I bring this scientific understanding of the brain and nervous system into my therapeutic work while keeping the human relationship at its heart.
My particular areas of focus are parent-child connection, conscious parenting, and relational repair.
