Get to Know Us
María Carmona Sánchez
- Systemic Psychology
- Systemic Pedagogy
- Gestalt Therapist
- Family Constellations
I earned my degree in Psychology from CUDEC University in Mexico City, a pioneering and innovative project within the Human Sciences. There, I had the opportunity to delve into Systemic Psychology with Bert Hellinger’s approach.
I began my career in Psychology working at a center for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Palma de Mallorca. My deep interest in human beings and mental health led me to train in Gestalt Therapy, Family Constellations, Systemic Pedagogy, and Brief Strategic Therapy.
I had the opportunity to meet Bert Hellinger and participate in his intensive training workshops on Family Constellations in both Europe and Latin America.
I am the co-founder of “Instituto Antares,” a Center for Personal and Systemic Development, where I have been leading Family Constellations workshops in Spanish, English, and German, and where I have been conducting individual consultations since 2009.
I see Psychology as the art of listening and accompanying people during times of crisis.
I consider crises as valuable opportunities for personal development.
Dr. Johannes Beckmann Borja
- General Medicine
- Psychosomatic Medicine
- Gestalt Therapy
- Family Constellations
I studied medicine at the University of Salamanca and deepened my studies in Psychosomatic Medicine in Germany and France. Later, I completed a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Clinical Psychology in Palma de Mallorca, where I have lived and worked since 1994.
I had the opportunity to practice medicine in various hospitals, working in general medicine and emergency services, where I repeatedly witnessed the benefits of a psychological approach within medical practice.
I approached Systemic Psychology by training in Family Constellations at the Institut Gestalt in Barcelona, and I had the opportunity to attend several intensive workshops led by Bert Hellinger in Germany and Spain.
I have taught Systemic Medicine and Psychology at various Latin American universities and several training centers in Spain, Sweden, and Germany.
I am the co-founder of “Instituto Antares,” a Center for Personal and Systemic Development, where since 2009 we have been conducting Family Constellations workshops in Spanish, English, and German, and where I maintain an individual consultation practice in all three languages.
I see Medicine as an art and the doctor as a tool of Love.
Our Methodology
Our work focuses on creating spaces where our clients can connect with their essence, exploring their deepest qualities and resources. Through these spaces, we promote new ways of ‘doing’ and relating to themselves and their environment.
We firmly believe that existence is relational and that we are all part of a web that connects and gives us meaning. We recognize the importance of family history and the socio-cultural context as fundamental parts of our lives. From this perspective, we address couple relationships, interactions with our children, as well as work and friendship relationships.
International Presence
Instituto Antares operates in various countries across Europe and Latin America, which we consider an invaluable source of enrichment for our work. Currently, we are active in:
- Spain
- Germany
- France
- Sweden
- Bolivia
- Ecuador
