When a breakup crosses a border

A breakup isn't just losing someone. It's losing the life you were building around them.

Maybe the person you just ended things with was also the one who knew your landlord, translated the fine print, and was the first call you made about anything. Now the apartment feels too big, and the people who'd normally sit with you through this are a time zone away — asleep when the missing hits hardest.

And maybe your family calls to ask what happened, and you find yourself explaining it in a language that doesn't quite hold the words — translating not just the relationship, but the whole life you'd built around it. That's not you overreacting. Ending something you built far from home is its own kind of loss, and it deserves its own kind of care — not a rushed "you'll be fine."

Who's with you

I'm Ricardo, and I look at the whole picture — not just the ending

I'm a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years accompanying people through breakups and loss, trained in systemic family therapy. That training means I don't just look at you in isolation — I look at the bond itself, the people around it, and what its ending is asking you to rebuild. I live and practice from Barranquilla, Colombia, and I work with clients online, in English. I think in Spanish too, and I understand what it means to close a chapter across a border, a screen, or a language.

A breakup is easier to carry with someone beside you. If this feels like the moment, let's take the first step together — at your pace, no strings attached.

My approach

How I support a breakup in therapy

I work from a systemic-relational approach: I don't treat your breakup as a failure to get over quickly, but as part of your history, your bonds, and — for many of the people I work with — a chapter that also closed across a border.

🔄

The relationship, not just the ending

We look at the bond itself — what it gave you, what it asked of you, and the patterns you brought into it — so you understand what happened without turning it into a verdict on yourself.

🧭

Your pace, no deadline from home

Family back home may want you "over it" fast, and the life you built here doesn't pause either. You don't owe anyone a timeline — we work from wherever you actually are today.

🌱

An identity that isn't tied to a place or a person

If you moved for or around this relationship, part of the work is sorting out what's actually yours to keep — your friendships, your routines, your sense of home — apart from what you built around them.

How we begin

A clear first step, no pressure

You schedule your assessment session

Message me on WhatsApp or leave your details in the form. We'll book a first 60-minute video session, at a reduced rate (50% off).

We talk through what happened

In that first session, I listen to your story — what the relationship meant, how it ended, and how you've been carrying it, wherever in the world you're carrying it from. No rushed diagnoses, no jargon: just understanding, together, what you need.

We decide the process together

You decide with real information, not blindly. If it feels right, we build a process suited to you. If not, I'll still point you toward what you need.

Your first step

Start with an assessment session

A first session to get to know each other and shape your process. At a reduced rate, so you decide with real information — not out of obligation.
