Dr. Marcela Valencia Amado

I am a psychiatrist with a humanistic view of the individual. I am trained in Gestalt psychotherapy, psychodrama, and existential analysis. This allows me, in addition to understanding illness in a biological sense, to comprehend and support the human aspects and relationships with loved ones. I advocate for the combined use of psychotropic medications and psychotherapy, as this combination has shown more benefits than using only one approach.

In the initial consultation, I will clinically evaluate your current condition to establish a potential diagnosis and determine if medication treatment is necessary, if only psychotherapy is required, or if you would benefit from both procedures. The objectives and scope of medication treatment, as well as potential outcomes depending on your condition, will be explained to you.

If you decide to begin psychotherapy, you will find a space to freely and non-judgmentally express personal situations. You will be able to identify elements of your life that are influencing your current problem, and we will work on ways to accept your current situations to transform them from there.
