In the center of Valencia, in the area of Plaza de España, we find Mariva Psicólogos, a psychology center formed by three psychologists specialized in different areas of mental health. specialized in different areas of mental health..

One of its strengths is that they share the same way of working, that is, from the professionalism and using the most effective techniques with scientific validity, (cognitive-behavioral perspective), the three agree on the need to work with vocation, in their empathy and closeness. But they differ in other aspects, especially in their areas of specialization. For this reason, they form an effective team when it comes to covering different specialties.

The professionals of Mariva Psicólogos have extensive experience, training and all the requirements to be able to assist the patient from the premise of offering the highest quality.

The Center of Psychology Mariva Psicólogos

Its center is cozy and has everything necessary to make your visits to it comfortable and convenient.

When a person arrives at the consultation, the first thing they do is to perform a psychological evaluation.. That is, they find out what is wrong with that person, why this is happening to them, why they are having this problem, 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 child psychologist of the center.

Ivan and Marta daily help people who suffer from anxiety in its many aspects, such as panic attacks, phobias, fears, agoraphobia, etc..They also have a large number of patients who come to their center to improve their self-esteem.

In addition, they are specialists in couples therapy, sexual problems, as well as treatment to overcome breakups and, the increasingly recurrent, emotional dependency.

The most common thing is that people come to their center to overcome situations that with their own tools they are not able to solve, which generates 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, Ivan deals with the area of sports psychology and offers the possibility of therapy in English.

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

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

She treats from fears, phobias, jealousy, anxiety... to sphincter control problems, sleep and eating disorders, aggression... to difficulties in social relationships, self-esteem and emotional problems. To this we add the treatment in cases of school 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 Hyperactivity Disorder, Specific Language Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders and Asperger's Syndrome. It should not be forgotten that there are problems that occur at any age, such as phobias, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem... and, something that is increasingly detected, addiction to new technologies.

Their collective work in mental health

In addition to individual therapy, the three of them carry out various group workshops, both for children (such as emotional intelligence workshops for children) and for adults (workshops on self-esteem, emotional dependence, positive thinking...). These are a way to bring psychology to the people and for the attendees to benefit and for the participants to benefit from the advantages of group therapy.

In short, whatever the problem, in Mariva Psychologists 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 welfare, to control the physiological reactions that are derived from psychological problems and, ultimately, to improve their quality of life.

We must not forget that therapy requires a personal effort; the psychologist will help you and give you everything you need to achieve your change, but this change is made by each person personally, and most importantly, this therapy seeks to generate a definitive change, that you achieve your goals and that this improvement is maintained.

Fortunately, it is becoming more and more common and less taboo to go to a psychologist.What is "crazy" is not to take advantage of the fact that there are professionals who can really help you achieve greater well-being.
