Itxasne Tome
General Health Psychologist
Hello, I am a health psychologist and psychotherapist with clinical experience with both adolescents and adults. I have worked with a wide variety of patients and issues, my areas of specialty being eating disorders, obesity, body image, anxiety and depression.
I admire and respect each patient. My therapeutic style is marked by a sense of humor and human quality that enables the patient to express themselves in a safe and comfortable environment. One of the main objectives is to build a relationship based on respect, warmth, care and trust.
About me
My professional path has been deeply influenced by my personal experiences, such as being a mother and living in different countries. These aspects have enriched my ability to empathize and understand my patients from a broader perspective. Being a mother has allowed me to better understand the emotional and psychological challenges that many families face, as well as the importance of a safe and supportive environment in the therapeutic process. In addition, having lived abroad, between Spain and the United States, has given me the opportunity to interact with different cultures and realities, which has strengthened my ability to adapt to different contexts and individual needs.
