Psychologist Maria Acosta Velázquez

I know that starting a therapeutic process is not easy, that you are reading and looking for information is already the first step to start. Many doubts arise... Can you help me? What is happening to me may not be fixable... they will judge me... All these fears are part of the process, in my consultation I can ensure that you will receive care based on respect, confidentiality and professional ethics, care based on the contextual paradigm, where the functional analysis of behavior will be our main tool for job. The perspective from which I exercise the profession is behavioral, a non-pathologizing psychotherapy model, taking into account the biopsychosocial framework of all human behavior.

I practice health psychology, with extensive experience in the treatment of experiential avoidance disorder (problems related to anxiety, depression, sudden changes in mood, behavioral problems due to a coping strategy for discomfort dysfunctional).

I believe that the ability to listen, empathy, to adopt a non-judgmental perspective together with the ability to elaborate analysis functional behavior (key to establish a therapeutic action framework) are characteristics that I put into practice every day in the practice of my profession, which are values ​​that are part not only of the professional field, but also of my life.
