Licensed psychologists are recognized by both, the public healthcare system and private insurance companies, allowing you to access therapy (individual sessions and, in some cases, group workshops) with partial or full coverage.

Advantages of trusting authorized professionals

Guaranteed quality: Authorization means that the professional has met rigorous training and practice criteria, ensuring quality care.

Confidentiality and ethics: Licensed psychologists adhere to strict codes of ethics and confidentiality, protecting the patient’s privacy.

Insurance coverage: Licensed psychologists are recognized by both the public healthcare system and private insurance companies, allowing access to therapies with partial or full coverage.

Licensed psychologist and integrative psychotherapist in Copenhagen

Hello, I am Cristina Montoro

I am a psychologist and integrative psychotherapist, specializing in supporting people who seek to better understand themselves and find balance in their emotional life.

My approach combines different therapeutic methodologies, adapting to each person according to their needs and processes. Throughout my career, I have worked with people dealing with change, grief, anxiety, and adaptation to new realities, including expatriates seeking a sense of belonging in a foreign country.

In addition to my professional experience, I am also a mother, which has allowed me to deeply understand the emotional and personal challenges that many women face at this stage of their lives. For this reason, I give personal growth workshops for mothers, offering a space for support, self-awareness, and accompaniment for those who wish to reconnect with themselves while balancing their motherhood with personal development.

In my practice, I offer you a safe space to explore your inner world with respect, patience, and without judgment.

TESTIMONIALS

What my patients say

These are some of the experiences of people who have found a safe space in my services to grow and heal.

At 35 years old and never having been in therapy before, meeting Cristina and having her as my therapist and guide through this process has been the greatest stroke of luck I could have ever had. Cristina’s sensitivity, professionalism, and skill have been essential in helping me break through the deep barriers I had built within myself. The warmth, care, and boundless humanity I’ve felt in both individual sessions and group settings have made me feel seen for the first time in many years, and have opened the door for both myself and others to do the same. Today, my whole life has taken a direction that I feel aligned and at peace with, and although there is still a long way to go, I feel capable and equipped with the tools to keep moving forward.

For the last seven years, every time I went through a crisis, I turned to Cristina’s individual and group therapy for support. Not only did they help me overcome the crisis of the moment, but also develop tools and resources that still serve me today. The group sessions were especially valuable. They gave me the opportunity to learn alongside others, develop a better understanding of how to relate to people, and cultivate empathy and authenticity in my relationships. Cristina explains complex psychological terms in a simple way and encourages us to apply them to our own context and life experiences. Long after the therapy sessions, her words continue to guide me in different situations, allowing me to create space for growth, acceptance, and joy in everyday life.

Working with Cristina is simply a pleasure, her warmth, understanding and holistic approach is what I appreciate the most from our sessions. She helped me immensively while navigating hard times in my life. I have always struggled working on my insecurities and my barriers but with her I felt safe and finally ready to face them and ready to overcome them. Today I am a completely different version of myself and I will forever be grateful for this journey together!

I have been in therapy with Cristina for approximately five years. During this time, I also participated in five personal development groups. From the first time I entered her office, I felt her kindness, warmth, and acceptance, as well as her genuine desire to help and accompany my process. I was going through very difficult moments in my life, and having Cristina by my side during those times was invaluable. Together, we explored many layers of my being, and today I feel much more balanced and grounded in all areas of my life. I believe that both individual therapy and the groups were key to achieving this.
