Mariana Mendoza Alvarez

I am a licensed clinical psychologist from Mexico, specialized in the treatment of emotion dysregulation, trauma, sleeping disorders (i.e. nightmares and insomnia) and personality disorder treatments. As part of my doctoral training in Europe, I have researched the close interaction between pre-sleep emotional states, insomnia, and their role in functioning, particularly in people who struggle with emotion dysregulation, depression, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorder and other stress-related challenges. I offer evidence-based therapy, which I have learned as part of my graduate training (DBT, mindfulness, CBT, exposure therapy and protocols targeting nightmares and insomnia). My approach is based on non-judgmental listening and tailored care. My shorter interventions are focused on learning how to manage and overcome stress and burnout, coaching my clients to build a life worth living, and providing them with resilience skills to help them navigate life challenges more efficiently.
