Psychologist Elisa Peiro Balaguer

I am Elisa Peiro and I have been working as a clinical psychologist for more than 20 years. I understand Psychotherapy as a process where the protagonist is the person, and the therapist's task is to accompany him in the process. path of awareness and self-knowledge, enhancing his autonomy and making him believe in his own ability to development. Our life goes through many stages and some are more difficult than others, causing our self to falter and even feel disoriented. Feelings of sadness, unbalanced self-esteem, hopelessness, stress, anxiety, emotional instability, conflicts in relationships, lack of impulse control... They are the names we give to that emotional discomfort that does not allow us to move forward in life. My job is to make it easier for the person to connect with their emotions, their thoughts and the way they act on a day-to-day basis. On the other hand, help to become aware of personal resources and capacities or learn new coping strategies. I believe that there are no problems more important than others. Each person is unique and needs to be listened to with empathy, therapy being a space to learn how to continue on your path at this time in your life.

My psychotherapeutic orientation is humanistic and inclusive, adapting to the needs of each patient. I trust the capacity and autonomy of people in the most difficult life situations. I am a psychologist by vocation and I love my profession. Listening and empathy are my main work tools.

After graduating from the University of Comillas, I completed specialized training in Clinic (PIR). Later I worked in a Rehabilitation Center with people with chronic mental illness and currently in a public hospital. In the afternoons, I have a private practice in the north of Madrid. My professional career has given me a very broad vision of the person, encountering different problems of a psychological nature, from mental health to very difficult life situations such as a physical illness serious. I do individual, couples or group therapy.
