Cler Catalina Macello

As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in guiding individuals through the complexities of traumatic life situations, such as the profound grief that follows the loss of a loved one. My practice is centered on providing a supportive framework and using a variety of therapeutic tools to navigate these challenging experiences. Beyond immediate trauma, I also focus on addressing the toxic dynamics that can erode our most vital connections. This includes not just our relationships with partners, children, or friends, but also with things like food or work—any bond that ultimately compromises our well-being. When these connections cause deep inner distress, they often manifest as physical symptoms. This concept, often described as the body expressing the pain of the soul, remains a cornerstone of my approach. Today, we embrace a more integrated understanding of the mind-body connection, moving past the artificial boundaries that were once useful for study.
