Psychologist Manuel Ariza Bernal

Hello. My name is Manuel Ariza Bernal, and I am a Health Psychologist specializing in Contextual Therapies, also called Third Generation Therapies. I work mainly with ACT Therapy, (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which has a solid scientific basis, which shows high efficacy in less time, compared to other interventions

When a person by himself cannot deal with situations of this type, in which he suffers great psychological discomfort, my job is to teach Useful techniques and strategies to manage painful emotions, sensations and thoughts, with the ultimate goal of being able to develop a full life possible.

Contextual Therapy has shown more efficacy in fewer sessions, and a lower relapse rate compared to other therapies. Main problems I attend to: • Anxiety and stress disorders. • Depression – punctual or chronic. • Mood disorders. • Insecurity and self-esteem problems. • Obsessive compulsive disorder. • Worry and limiting rumination. • Relationship problems. • Addictive disorders: alcohol, tobacco, drug use. • Impulse control problems: compulsive gambling, dependence on mobile devices and the Internet. • Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. • Loss of meaning or vital direction
