Psychologist Aura María Ríos Gómez

I am a General Health Psychologist with health registration 05-C22-0199 and I am specialized in Perinatal Psychology (vital stage that includes the search for the baby, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and the first period of breeding). In my office I offer guidance, support and psychological treatment online to families who are going through difficult and complex situations at this time in their lives. I am also the founder of the "Program of Emotional Approach to Maternity in the Perinatal Stage" which aims to accompany the families at different times of this period of their lives: search for a baby, pregnancy, early stage of parenting, perinatal mourning, and premature babies are the groups with limited places that I offer within a mental health promotion and prevention program perinatal. For approximately four years I have been working with people diagnosed with Severe Mental Disorder (TMG), an experience that has given me a lot, both professionally and personally, and which also allows me to have a much broader perspective of emotional suffering and psychological.

I am the mother of a girl still in the infant stage, thanks to this powerful experience I began to have a great interest in this field unknown to me until then, "maternal mental health". I met a support group for nursing mothers and it was through them that I realized the existence of many needs psychological and emotional that accompany the perinatal stage, but above all the little importance and recognition that is usually given in general. Little by little I was discovering that many experiences lived from the beginning with the search for a baby, the pregnancy process, childbirth, Postpartum and the first stage of parenting mark in a very important way the beginnings in the life of families and not attending to them implies consequences in other maternity processes, later in the evolutionary development of infants, in addition to other dynamics relatives. Therefore, I decided to undertake a training and research process in Perinatal Mental Health, which would allow me as Psychologist to contribute my grain of sand to those families that need to be supported, accompanied and trained at this time vital.

I have completed the specialization in Maternal Mental Health with the UNED, the UAB and the COP in Madrid. I coordinate the Perinatal Psychology working group of the Official College of Psychology of Castilla y León and also, I have collaborated with the DANA project, a digital application for mothers as a creator of contents.
