Bilingual therapist (EN,SP) with 14 years of clinical experience and 9 years of training, offering psychotherapy services face to face in Madrid, Spain or online globally. Theoretically I rely on Psychoanalytic, Mentalization and Transcultural approaches-
My solid training consists of more than 9 years of study and 14 years of clinical practice. After completing my five-year long Psychology degree at Universidad Metropolitana in Caracas, Venezuela; I completed a three-year training residence in Clinical Psychology at the psychiatric hospital CSME El Peñón in Venezuela, where I gained solid experience as a Clinical Psychologist, in assessment, diagnosis and treatment (symmilar to a PsyD in the USA). Additionally, I had the privilege to take a year-long course and gain supervision with world-class psychoanalists at the Tavistock Clinic in London, UK. In Madrid, I’ve trained in Transcultural Systemic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalitic Psychotherapy at the Centro de Estudios y Aplicación al Psicoanálisis, where I’m in ongoing training to become a Psychoanalist. Additionally, I have been a patient myself for many years, which allows me to work better, understand what being a patient entails, and offer you a more professional, less contaminated space. I have worked many years under clinical supervision with excellent professionals as part of my ongoing professional development. Alongside my private practice, I have worked at Clínica Humana private clinic in Caracas, at Ellern Meade Centre for Eating Disorders in London, UK, been a college-level Psychology Teacher at CIEE Madrid and a Youth Leadership Teacher for adolescents at ISSOS in St. For 7 years, I have collaborated with the NGO Madrid for Refugees. There, I regularly provide training for volunteers, deliver lectures, and facilitate Art Therapy Workshops and Erasmus+ training projects on topics like integration, diversity, inclusion, migratory grief, trauma and migration, resilience and post traumatic growth, in Madrid and all around Europe. As an immigrant myself with a multicultural background and first-hand experience of being forcibly displaced from my home country, I have a deep understanding of the ambiguous challenges and opportunities that come with migration, and its opportunities for growth. Feel free to write me with any questions you may have, if you are seeking for a space for yourself in company of an empathetic and experienced professional.
