Dr. Hilda Fernandez-Alvarez is a seasoned Lacanian psychoanalyst practicing in Vancouver, Canada, with over two decades of clinical experience spanning public health (in both hospital and outpatient settings) and private practice in Mexico and Canada. Her formation is in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis, a therapeutic approach centered on uncovering the unconscious truths inherited through one’s lineage and culture, as they manifest in both psyche and body.

Dr. Fernandez-Alvarez is a regular speaker at international psychoanalytic conferences and colloquia, and her research—published in leading international journals—examines the intersections of psychoanalytic theory and practice, trauma, discourse, socio-spatial dynamics, love, and politics. She is a registered member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, and is the president of Corpo Freudiano Vancouver: Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis
