Hello! I am Laura Nhate Intchanhe Mendes, a General Health Psychologist and co-founder of PsicoDiversa.
My vocation is to support people like you, who are going through complex moments, toward a place of greater calm and stability. I carry out my clinical practice in the center of Málaga, combining scientific rigor with the human warmth that every healing process requires.
My Training and Therapeutic Approach

I graduated in Psychology from the University of Málaga and specialized in Health Psychology at the International University of La Rioja. I maintain ongoing training to offer up-to-date, evidence-based therapies.
I understand anxiety, unresolved pain, or addictive behaviors as responses to deep experiences, which is why my work focuses on the root of the symptom.
I have worked with people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma.
Advanced Therapies: EMDR and IFS in Málaga
IFS (Internal Family Systems): A respectful model for understanding and harmonizing the different “parts” of yourself that may be in conflict.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A powerful tool for processing traumatic memories that continue to cause distress in the present.
How can I help you?
My practice in Málaga is a safe space to address:
- Dependency and Addictions: Both substance-related and behavioral.
- Psychological Trauma: Wounds from the past affecting your present.
- Anxiety and Depression: Restoring emotional balance.
- Personal Growth: Getting to know yourself better in order to live more authentically.
I offer sessions in both Spanish and English, making therapy accessible to the international community of the Costa del Sol.

My Commitment to You
I do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Each person needs an approach tailored to their own history and needs.
In my practice, I offer a safe space with non-judgmental listening and full confidentiality. My goal is not only to help you reduce symptoms, but also to support you in building a meaningful life with greater self-compassion.
