The Center for Psychology Mariva Psychologists

Its center is welcoming and has everything you need to make your visits to it comfortable and comfortable.

When a person arrives at the consultation, the first thing they do is perform a psychological evaluation. That is, they find out what is wrong with that person, why is this happening, why is this problem continuing, and finally, how can we help them? After this, they begin to work according to the objectives of each patient, offering personalized attention and treatment.

The team

On the one hand, we find Iván and Marta, focused on adult psychology, and on the other hand, Leticia, the center's child psychologist.

ivan and martha daily help people who suffer from anxiety in its multiple aspectssuch as panic attacks phobias, fears, agoraphobia... They also have a large influx of patients who come to their center to improve their self-esteem.

In addition, they are specialists in couple therapy, sexual problems, as well as treatment to overcome breakups and, the increasingly recurring, emotional dependence.

The most common thing is that people come to your center to overcome situations that they are not able to solve with their own tools, which causes them discomfort. That is to say, They come for problems that we can call "everyday" and for the suffering that they generate.

On the one hand, Iván deals with the area of ​​sports psychology and offers the possibility of therapy being carried out in English.

Marta, on the other hand, deals with clinical and health psychology and the area of ​​legal psychology, especially making expert reports on custody and visitation.

The child psychologist, Leticia, is in charge of help both children and young people to overcome their daily difficultiesas well as learning.

It treats from fears, phobias, jealousy, anxiety... going through problems in sphincter control, sleep disorders and eating, aggressiveness... until reaching difficulties in social relationships, self-esteem and emotional problems. To this is added the treatment in cases of both failure and bullying, and in children with high abilities, dyslexia, dyscalculia and various cognitive disorders.

In addition, Leticia is a specialist in the treatment of Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, specific language disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders and Asperger syndrome. We must not forget that there are problems that occur at any age, such as phobias, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem... and, something that is detected more and more, addiction to new technologies.

Their collective work in mental health

The three carry out, in addition to individual therapy, various group workshops, both at the child level (such as workshops on emotional intelligence for children), as well as for adults (self-esteem workshops, emotional dependence, thought positive…). These are a way of bringing psychology to people and that attendees benefit from the advantages of group therapy.

In short, whatever the problem, at Mariva Psicólogos they try to provide tools to those who come to their center to learn to think in a more adaptive way, to behave in a way that generates greater well-being, to control the physiological reactions that are derived from psychological problems and, ultimately, to improve their quality of life.

It must not be forgotten that therapy requires a personal effort; The psychologist will help you and give you everything you need to achieve your change, but each one does this change in a different way. personal, and most importantly, this therapy seeks to generate a definitive change, that you achieve your goals and that this improvement is keep up.

Fortunately, It is increasingly common and less taboo to go to the psychologist, and what is "crazy" is not taking advantage of the fact that there are professionals who can really help you achieve greater well-being.
