Dr. Fuentes's approach is warm, respectful, and deeply rooted in Mexican cultural values of confianza and personalismo. He understands that trauma in Latin America often has collective dimensions — from natural disasters to community violence to intergenerational family wounds. His EMDR work is adapted to the cultural context of his clients, honoring their resilience while gently processing what no longer serves them. He offers both medication management and psychotherapy, believing that the best outcomes come from treating the whole person — biological, psychological, and social.
He offers in-person sessions in Condesa and telehealth across Mexico.
