A first step · Un primer paso
Arrange a preliminary interview
Beginning an analysis is not automatic. Preliminary interviews offer an initial time to listen to what is causing distress, receive your questions, and consider together the possibility of beginning analytic work.
If you would like to request a first meeting, you may send me a message and, if you wish, briefly mention what brings you to consultation. I will contact you to arrange a day and time.
Coordinar una entrevista preliminar
El inicio de un análisis no es automático. Las entrevistas preliminares ofrecen un primer tiempo para escuchar aquello que produce malestar, alojar sus preguntas y considerar juntos la posibilidad de iniciar un trabajo analítico.
Si desea solicitar un primer encuentro, puede enviarme un mensaje y, si lo considera conveniente, mencionar brevemente el motivo de su consulta. Me comunicaré para acordar el día y la hora.

Professional & student perspectives · Recomendaciones
What colleagues and students say.
“Dr. Zigaran is an inspiring and gifted teacher who makes learning and playing a delightful experience. His work on interpretation and phrasing helped me return to the cello after many years and move toward more musical playing.”
“Marcelo quickly identifies each student’s strengths and weaknesses and adjusts his teaching accordingly. He is equally demanding and understanding, with the student’s progress—and enjoyment of the instrument—as his first priority.”
“Marcelo’s work, informed by philosophy, psychoanalysis and music, is unique and important. Psychoanalysis needs individuals like him, cross-trained and able to open new avenues across music, philosophy, literature and clinical thought.”
