About Dialogando

Dialogando’s story

Dialogando grew from a lifelong friendship, a shared commitment to mental health, and a desire to make professional support more accessible to Spanish-speaking communities.

Psychologists Alex Forster and Gerardo Horischnick, friends since adolescence, founded Dialogando based on their personal experiences and decades of professional work supporting people through moments of crisis, change, and transition.

In their youth, they traveled throughout Latin America as students. That experience introduced them to different cultures, social realities, and ways of life, deeply shaping how they understand emotional well-being.

After more than thirty years of professional work, they joined forces with Manuel Gonilski to expand access to quality mental health services. Manuel, trained in clinical psychology in Buenos Aires and experienced in digital mental health solutions, brings a vision that combines technology, professional excellence, and human connection.

Today, this international team works to reduce barriers to emotional support and provide an accessible, ethical, and culturally sensitive service for Latin American and Spanish-speaking communities, wherever they may be.

Professional ethics

Carefully selected professionals with training, experience, and clear standards of care.

Confidentiality

Every appointment takes place in a private, secure, and confidential environment.

Why we exist

A space to speak your language with someone who understands your world.

Dialogando is an online psychological support platform designed for Latin Americans navigating change, migration, adaptation, complex relationships, or periods of emotional overload.

We know that talking about what you’re going through isn’t always easy. When you’re far from your support network, living in another country, adapting to another culture, or carrying too much, it can feel even more difficult.

That’s why we created a professional, straightforward, and welcoming space where you can begin from wherever you are, with Spanish-speaking psychologists and a simple process.

You don’t have to translate your story to be understood.

What we believe

1

Culture matters

Talking to someone who understands your references, language, and relationships makes a meaningful difference.

2

Getting started should be simple

Booking, paying, and connecting should be clear, quick, and free from unnecessary friction.

3

The professional relationship matters

We work with trained, experienced psychologists who bring professional judgment and genuine humanity.

Your well-being is our priority Our mission

Making quality emotional support more accessible and approachable

Dialogando was created to help Spanish-speaking people strengthen their emotional well-being and build healthier relationships with professionals who understand their language, culture, and context.

Our mission is to expand access to psychologists with professional training, experience, and active licensure in their country of origin through clear, human, and affordable online services.

We recognize that every community experiences and expresses emotional well-being differently. That’s why we promote culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental support adapted to the diverse realities of Spanish-speaking communities around the world.

Our team

Spanish-speaking psychologists with experience and genuine humanity

The quality of your support depends on the person on the other side. That’s why we carefully consider every psychologist’s professional qualifications and human approach.

What we look for in every professional

Dialogando works with psychologists who combine professional training, experience, listening skills, and cultural sensitivity.

  • Active professional license in their country of origin.
  • University-level education in psychology.
  • Real experience supporting people.
  • Ability to provide clear and thoughtful online support.
  • Understanding of Latin American cultures and their nuances.

Why speaking with someone who understands your culture matters

It’s not only about speaking Spanish. It’s about expressing your history, relationships, family, grief, and contradictions without explaining everything from the beginning.

When your psychologist understands that context, the conversation can go deeper and feel safer from the start.
