“Psychotherapy, mindfulness and psychological wellbeing”

Verified by Kyan

About Lina

I am a clinical and health psychologist. I graduated as a psychologist from the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia. I am a health psychologist from the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de México, and I have a master's in clinical and health psychology from the Universidad Europea del Atlántico, in Spain. I received an honorary doctorate from the Claustro Doctoral de México. I am certified in mindfulness by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.

I see people in person at Salud Cerebral & Bienestar Mental, in Neiva. I speak in Colombia and abroad on psychotherapy, mental health, psychological wellbeing, mindfulness and suicide prevention. I founded Fundación ANDA, and from there I lead psychosocial programs, research, training and community projects on mental health and the prevention of suicidal behaviour. I also created Mente & Forma, psychological accompaniment for people in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, before and after the procedure. I was a finalist of Titanes Caracol 2020 and received the Premios Eres Visible 2025.

How Lina works

I am a clinical and health psychologist, and I am certified in mindfulness by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Mindfulness is one of the methods I use. It is also the subject of the poster I presented on mindfulness in the assessment and treatment of suicidal risk.

I created Mente & Forma, a program of psychological accompaniment for people in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. The program is oriented toward including emotional wellbeing in care before and after the procedure.

I see people in person. The themes of my work are psychotherapy, mental health, psychological wellbeing, mindfulness and suicide prevention. At Fundación ANDA I lead psychosocial programs, research, training and community projects on mental health and the prevention of suicidal behaviour.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Lina works.

Mindfulness-based therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy uses practices that train attention on the present moment, with openness rather than judgement. Noticing thoughts and feelings without being carried away by them can reduce stress and help break cycles of worry or low mood. Programmes such as MBSR and MBCT are well-known examples.
