Lea Whitmer Jacobsson

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and therapist, offering in person (in Roma Sur, Mexico City) and online counseling for expats.

Being in therapy is not just about me telling you what to do, but rather a process in which we combine my expertise in Psychology with your expertise on yourself and your life. By collaborating in this way we can achieve the most lasting change.

As a bi-cultural child, a partner to a Mexican and a general traveler, I have lived in several different countries, and I understand the challenges faced by internationals on a personal level.

I provide therapy and counseling in English and Swedish and participate in ongoing training and supervision for the purpose of quality assurance.
