Dr. Lucía Quiroga

I am an expert in choosing the right path when it comes to children and adolescents. I guide parents in recognizing if their family unit is facing a problem that falls within the scope of psychiatry, with ethics and science at the core of my work. Trained at leading universities in the country, I aim to generate positive changes in the lives of children, adolescents, and families, reducing the consequences of untreated mental health issues by thoroughly addressing the biological and social causes of potential problems in patients. In my pediatric psychiatry practice, I evaluate emotional, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms that may affect a child's or adolescent's quality of life and/or learning. Therefore, I determine whether it corresponds to a normal change or is considered a problem. I identify influencing environmental factors to provide advice and support to the family, intervene in risk factors, and offer specific treatment for the observed problem, illness, or disorder.
