Introduction

Hola, soy la Dra. Angélica Padilla Rivera, psicóloga clínica licenciada en Puerto Rico, con especialidad en el tratamiento de trauma y experiencias adversas. Mi práctica se centra en el uso de la Terapia de Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por Movimientos Oculares (EMDR), un enfoque basado en evidencia que permite trabajar con recuerdos difíciles que continúan afectando el presente. A través de este proceso, ayudo a mis pacientes a reducir la carga emocional de experiencias pasadas, fortalecer creencias positivas y recuperar una sensación de control y bienestar. Además, utilizo modelos terapéuticos basados en evidencia como la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (CBT), la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual Enfocada en Trauma (TF-CBT), Entrevista Motivacional y el Método Gottman para el trabajo con parejas. Atiendo adolescentes y adultos y parejas, que enfrentan ansiedad, depresión, trauma, dificultades en sus relaciones y otros retos emocionales. Mi enfoque es colaborativo y centrado en la persona, promoviendo el desarrollo de herramientas prácticas para el manejo emocional y el fortalecimiento del bienestar psicológico. Mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio seguro, empático y libre de juicio, donde puedas explorar tu historia a tu propio ritmo y desarrollar recursos internos para sanar. Creo profundamente en la capacidad de cada persona para transformarse y en que, con el acompañamiento adecuado, es posible procesar el pasado y avanzar hacia una vida con mayor bienestar, claridad y equilibrio emocional.
