Psychologist Matías Vera Valdés (Quilicura)

I am a licensed clinical psychologist from the Silva Henríquez Catholic University, an institution with a great psychosocial seal. In addition, I am studying a Master in Clinical Psychology (humanist-existential psychology mention) at the University of Chile. I have 5 years of experience in participation in instances of support for the child and adolescent population in the Todo Mejora Foundation and about 3 years of experience in private clinical care. In addition, I have worked in jobs related to sexual diversity and gender identity, gender violence, protection of the rights of children and adolescents, among others. My work focuses mainly on the Humanist-Existential approach, which gives me a complex and complete view of the human being. This allows your therapeutic process not only to support your biological and mental well-being, but also the emotional area and your life projects. As a psychologist with a Humanistic-Existential approach, I am committed to building a safe space for you to explore your fears, crises and anxieties so that we can then build a path towards your well-being with various tools and techniques.

If you decide to start a therapeutic process with me, we will progressively build a safe, warm and genuine space. For me, it is essential that the people I support make sense of the work we do together since in this way the changes and advances become significant as well as durable. Given my professional experience in psychosocial issues, my conviction is that you can always learn, grow and move one step closer to your overall well-being.

Although my work approach is mainly based on Humanistic-Existential Psychology, I am open to working together with psychiatric professionals and/or various medical teams if necessary necessary. On certain occasions, using pharmacological treatments is a great support for the therapeutic process... So, don't be scared if at some point someone tells you that it would be good for you to consult with an additional specialist! With patience and perseverance many things can be achieved.
